The legendary fighter hasn’t appeared in the octagon since UFC 247 and fans will be eager to see him leave his troubles in the rearview mirror and make a new start in the UFC’s heavyweight division.
Daniel Cormier had predicted Jon Jones’ future
Former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier is one of the biggest rivals of ‘Bones’. During UFC 200: Counterpunch – Cormier vs Jones 2 episode, ‘DC‘ had envisioned that Jon Jones will keep on getting into trouble outside the octagon.
Daniel Cormier said, “Sobering truth is, his history dictates and determines that the same thing’s gonna happen. That is his character. That is him at his core.”

Cormier also pointed out that Jon Jones’ PR team has a very tough time maintaining ‘Bones’ image. At that time, nobody realized that Cormier’s words would be true.

The Albuquerque native has always brushed aside everything when he has entered the octagon and delivered masterclass after masterclass. As nothing has affected ‘Bones’ displays inside the cage, fans would hope for him to stay active inside the octagon.
