Daniel Cormier has put his rivalry with Jon Jones to one side to praise the new UFC heavyweight champion.
'Bones' made his long-awaited UFC comeback last weekend against French contender Cyril Gane, whom he choked out in the first round to become the new heavyweight king. Jones has now cemented his place as arguably the promotion's greatest ever fighter and has moved his name up to No.1 in the promotion's latest pound-for-pound rankings.
Jones has some big wins to his name during his career in the UFC including against Cormier whom he defeated in their second fight by KO after the first outing was ruled a no contest. Despite initially congratulating Jones for his display, 'DC' was keen to also point out some flaws in his former opponent's UFC 285 performance.
