Jon Jones listed as more than 2-to-1 favorite over Daniel Cormier in potential trilogy

Although Jon Jones has no interest in moving up in weight for a possible trilogy fight with Daniel Cormier, the current light heavyweight champion is listed as the betting favorite by online sportsbook Bovada.

Bovada opened Jones as a considerable -265 favorite, while Cormier, the reigning heavyweight champion, is listed as a +250 underdog.

Jones, who has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs on multiple occasions throughout his career, beat ‘DC’ via unanimous decision at UFC 182 and followed up with a knockout win in the championship rematch at UFC 214. The KO, however, was swiftly overturned to a No Contest (NC) after it was revealed that ‘Bones’ had tested positive for turinabol.
