Former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier is no longer interested in a potential super fight between Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya.<\/p>\n

Jones, the former UFC light heavyweight champion<\/a>, and Adesanya the reigning middleweight champion, are two of the fiercest rivals in MMA at present\u2014to the point that a future fight between them seemed almost inevitable.<\/p>\n

After Adesanya lost a decision to reigning light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259 last weekend, however, Cormier has lost interest in this potential matchup.<\/p>\n

By his estimation, it wouldn’t be nearly as competitive as fight fans once believed.<\/p>\n
