Jon Jones is attempting to fix his relationship with UFC rival Daniel Cormier, insisting he has "nothing but respect" for his old rival.
The pair shared a bitter feud during the height of their fighting days, competing twice for the light-heavyweight title that they both held at different points. Jones won both, first taking an unanimous decision in 2015 before knocking out Cormier in their 2017 rematch which was later overturned due to a positive drug test.
And Jones is now speaking up in support of Cormier, surprising fans by claiming that his former rival is "awesome" with his post-retirement career. The former two-weight champion is now a TV pundit, and coaches wrestling for high school students.
