It is no secret that former UFC light heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones (21-1 MMA) is not a fan of Daniel Cormier.<\/p>\n

With that said, \u201cBones\u201d still has a ton of respect for \u201cDC\u2019s\u201d talents and believes that Cormier will have no issue getting by former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in their upcoming yet to be announced heavyweight title fight. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m definitely very excited to see Cormier fight Brock Lesnar,\u201d Jones said in a recent interview with\u00a0a Russian news outlet. \u201cI think Daniel Cormier wins the fight. He\u2019s just too fast. I feel like when I fought him he was quicker than me with certain combinations. I can only imagine he\u2019s going to be a lot quicker than Brock Lesnar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones, who is currently working toward a resolution in his ongoing case with USADA, is looking for the biggest fights possible when he gets the green light to return to the octagon. <\/p>\n

Jon Jones<\/a> knows that a trilogy fight with current \u201cchamp champ\u201d Daniel Cormier is probably the biggest fight for him out there and he recently discussed the possibility of a third fight with \u201cDC\u201d taking place at heavyweight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think fighting Daniel Cormier at heavyweight would be a bigger challenge,\u201d Jones told a Russian News Outlet (via MMAJunkie). \u201cHe\u2019s more comfortable there. His body type, that\u2019s where he wants to be. He wants to be big. I think he would be a tougher fight at heavyweight, but I still believe I would win. I believe I have his number. I know how to beat him.\u201d<\/p>\n
