Islam Makhachev predicts that Daniel Cormier would beat Jon Jones in pure wrestling.
Cormier and Jones have shared one of the most bitter rivalries in UFC history. However, they finally have a chance of mending their relationship as they are starring as rival coaches in ALF Reality Season 3. Cormier recently said that he would “kick Jones’ ass” in a conventional wrestling match.
And Cormier’s friend Makhachev agrees. While Makhachev respects Jones’ wrestling, he believes wrestling is Cormier’s bread and butter. An ace wrestler himself, Makhachev notes that Cormier has competed at the highest level in wrestling, the Olympics.
