Daniel Cormier is of the belief that should he lose his UFC heavyweight title to Derrick Lewis tomorrow night at UFC 230, he can go on from there to defend the light heavyweight title.
Jon Jones, not for the first time, doesn’t understand where Cormier is coming from.
“Defend the belt that was never his?” Jones asked at Friday’s UFC 232 press conference in New York. “I don’t understand how that works.”
Cormier’s path to becoming just the second simultaneous two-weight-class champion in UFC history, alongside Conor McGregor, is inextricably intertwined with Jones’ career path.
