Daniel Cormier thinks Tom Aspinall should be promoted to undisputed UFC heavyweight champion

Daniel Cormier thinks the UFC’s heavyweight division will be held up by rebooking Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic.

Heavyweight champion Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) was scheduled to make his first title defense against Miocic in the UFC 295 headliner.
