Daniel Cormier refuses to acknowledge Jon Jones in the “GOAT” debate, and compares it to ‘glorifying Lance Armstrong’

One of the most subjective questions to ask in the MMA community is, “Who is the greatest to ever do it?” Usually, it’s the same four or five household names which pop up, one of those being former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. But his longtime adversary and current 205-pound champion, Daniel Cormier, refuses to include Jones in the GOAT list due to his history of drug test failures.

Cormier (20-1, 1NC) has for long been one of the best to ever step foot in the cage, having a successful period at heavyweight during his Strikeforce days, and blossoming at 205-pounds since making his UFC debut in 2013.
