Daniel Cormier ponders heavyweight division’s future if Jon Jones dominates Stipe Miocic: ‘It’s a scary thought’

Daniel Cormier isn’t sure the heavyweight division will have anything left to offer Jon Jones if he runs through Stipe Miocic.

After quickly submitting Ciryl Gane to capture the vacant heavyweight belt at UFC 285, Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) is expected to face Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) next, potentially at UFC 290 on July 8.

Miocic is a former two-time UFC heavyweight champion and holds the record for most title defenses in divisional history at three. Jones vowed to also dominate NCAA Division I wrestler Miocic, and if he does end up doing so against the consensus greatest heavyweight of all time, Cormier worries for the rest of the division.
