Jon Jones has welcomed the idea of Daniel Cormier commentating on his UFC comeback fight despite the bitter rivalry they once shared.
Jones, 35, makes his fighting return after three years away from the sport to face Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight title at UFC 285 on March 4. The title fight comes after Francis Ngannou opted to leave the promotion last month, vacating his belt in the process. Jones will be looking to become a two-weight champion having dominated the 205lb division for almost a decade.
Eight years ago, Jones and Cormier settled their rivalry at UFC 182 as 'Bones' won a one-sided decision on the night. Jones knocked out Cormier in their rematch two years later, but the result was changed to a no-contest after Jones failed a drug test. The pair have since been respectful of each other's careers after almost a decade of back and forth and Jones has even welcomed Cormier to commentate his upcoming fight.
