“Respect to DC for This”- Fans Stunned as Daniel Cormier Picks Bitter Rival Jon Jones Over Khabib Nurmagomedov as the Most Dominant Fighter in the UFC

Fans widely regard Daniel Cormier as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. He has competed in the heavyweight and light heavyweight weight classes, and has had a remarkably successful career. Cormier has a unique place in the annals of the sport thanks to his accomplishments and talents. With a stunning record of 22 victories and 3 losses, ‘DC’ showed the world why he was one of the sport’s all-time greats.

Cormier attracted attention once more when he revealed which fighter was superior to him in an interview. As he mentioned the name of the current heavyweight champion Jon Jones as the most dominant fighter ever in the UFC. It was enough to spark the attention of the fans.

What caught the fans buzzing about the statement on Jon Jones?

The complete video of Cormier making those big claims was shared on ESPN MMA’s Twitter account. Cormier handing ‘Bones’ the upper hand in light of the passionate rivalry they both had shocked the fans to their core. Another feature that shocked the fans was the omission of the name of another icon, Khabib Nurmagomedov. In the interview, Cormier stated, 

“Honestly, it pains me to say this, but at number 1 I gotta kinda pay credit to the guy who beat me twice. Let me tell you something: if you beat me, you gotta be a bad boy, at number one I choose, Jon Jones.”

Fans didn’t hesitate to respond after watching the video in its entirety.

Since Cormier is considering his arch-rival to be more dominant than him, this fan pays respect to him.

The fan’s dismay at ‘The Eagle’ not being addressed can be observed.

The above fan thinks Cormier is realistic with that statement.

In expressing his opinions, Daniel Cormier has been fairly vocal. He always speaks his mind without holding back. While the fans had mixed reactions to this, Cormier’s confidence and modesty in thinking that Jones was better than him is evident. Not only from Cormier, Jones had also been applauded by another great Chael Sonnen.

Bringing the magnificence of Jon Jones to light

Jon Jones is truly one of the best combatants in the history of mixed martial arts. His skill has cemented his reputation as a dominant and enduring personality in the sport. Jones has demonstrated a broad range of striking, grappling, and clinch work in terms of technique. He uses a variety of strikes in his fighting style, from strong kicks to unusual spinning elbows. What sets Jones apart is his ability to adapt and strategize during fights. Daniel Cormier, Alexander Gustafsson, and Mauricio Rua are amongst the greats who were defeated by him. A scintillating record of 27 wins and 1 loss, tells why Jones is extraordinary.
