Jon Jones: Daniel Cormier needs to admit he was never UFC light heavyweight champ or ‘shut me up’

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The way Jon Jones figures it, Daniel Cormier really only has two options.

In Jones’ mind, Cormier can either admit to the world he was never the UFC light heavyweight champion or drop back down to 205 pounds and challenge Jones once again for the title.

Jones won the belt back with a third-round TKO finish of Alexander Gustafsson in the main event of UFC 232 on Saturday night here at The Forum. On Friday, Cormier relinquished the belt that would have ultimately been taken for him at the start of the Jones-Gustafsson fight.
