NEW YORK – Jon Jones would love to put his rivalry with Daniel Cormier in the past for good.
Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) beat Cormier twice in title fights in what was one of the most heated rivalries in UFC history. However, Jones’ knockout win in their rematch at UFC 214 was overturned to a no contest after he tested positive for a turinabol metabolite.
Since then, UFC heavyweight champion Jones has tried to approach Cormier in a friendly manner every time they’ve crossed paths, but Cormier recently revealed that he wasn’t warm to it. Jones wants to see that change.
