Jon Jones aspires to be more like Daniel Cormier.
Inside the Octagon, ‘Bones’ and ‘DC’ are two of the UFC’s fiercest rivals. But outside of the cage. … Okay, they still don’t like each other, but Jones believes the two could resolve much of their lingering animosity with a face-to-face conversation because, to the surprise of everyone, the UFC’s reigning heavyweight champion actually has a lot of admiration for the man Cormier is both in and out of the Octagon.
“I wanna take this time to thank Daniel Cormier for being my biggest rival and motivator,” Jones told Goeffrey Woo.
