Cormier and Jones’ past has been well-documented. They were at each others throats when they were championship competitors at UFC 182 and UFC 214. Cormier has since hung up the gloves and entered the UFC Hall of Fame, but Jones is still going at it, as a champion in a second division.

Jon Jones' former opponent Daniel Cormier expressed his admiration for the fighter as he kept himself on top of his game for so many years.
