The Ultimate Fighter Rivalry: Will History Repeat Itself?
Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier's feud is back in the spotlight! These two UFC legends, known for their intense rivalry, have recently reunited as rival coaches on a reality show, reigniting the flames of their past conflicts. But here's where it gets controversial: Jones believes his dominance will forever keep Cormier in his shadow.
Jones, known as 'Bones', claims that his success in the light heavyweight division and his ability to win the UFC title after moving up a division, surpasses Cormier's achievements. He even boldly predicts that Gable Steveson, a rising star in MMA and Jones' mentee, will overshadow Cormier's legacy as a heavyweight champion.
And this is the part most people miss: Jones suggests that Steveson, who has already won an Olympic gold medal in wrestling and boasts an impressive 2-0 MMA record, will be three times the champion Cormier ever was. But is this prediction a bit far-fetched? Steveson is yet to make his UFC debut, and the MMA world is full of surprises.
Adding fuel to the fire, Jones takes a shot at Cormier when discussing a potential wrestling match between them, recalling an incident where he made Cormier cry in front of the world. This rivalry is as personal as it gets!
As the debate rages on, we want to hear from you: Do you think Jones' prediction about Steveson's success is accurate? Will history repeat itself, or is there room for a new heavyweight GOAT? Share your thoughts and join the conversation!
