Daniel Cormier: I am the definition of pound-for-pound best, even without Jon Jones

UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has put up an impressive mixed martial arts career, considering a late start just a decade ago. The only two losses on his record are against his biggest rival Jon Jones, which for many is a deterrent for him to be deemed as the greatest fighter in the game today.

“DC”, however, chooses to no longer be in the shadows of Jones, especially with what he has accomplished outside the UFC light heavyweight division.

“For what I’ve done, winning the heavyweight title, everything was so tied to him (Jones) initially that me getting the heavyweight title was something so completely separate, especially being that I was undefeated in the weight class prior,” Cormier told UFC.
