Daniel Cormier’s list disappointed Jorge Masvidal. The former curated his personal list of the best fighters in Combat Sports and announced it ahead of UFC 281. ‘Gamebred’ took a dig at a certain UFC legend being excluded from his list. A fighter whom Daniel Cormier wasn’t able to best in his career. The legendary Jon Jones’ shocking exclusion bewildered Masvidal.

Seems like there’s still bad blood between UFC Legends Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones.
Jorge Masvidal reacted to Daniel Cormier’s Top 5 list
Jorge Masvidal shared a post of Jon Jones hitting Daniel Cormier at a presser in 2014. In the post, he wrote “Especially after that P4P list…” referring to DC’s list of ‘Top 5 Combat sports fighters of all time’.
In the list, the 43-year-old included some of the greatest fighters in the history of boxing and MMA.
The list goes:
- Floyd Mayweather (Boxing)
- Khabib Nurmagomedov (UFC)
- Muhammad Ali (Boxing)
- George St-Pierre (UFC)
- Amanda Nunes (UFC)
The UFC commentator gave the top spot to Floyd Mayweather, who went 50-0 in his boxing career. And also included ‘The Greatest of All Time’ Muhammad Ali, among the boxers on his list. The remaining spots went to some recognizable UFC fighters.
The UFC fighters on Cormier’s list are questionable
Khabib Nurmagomedov got the second spot, being the only undefeated fighter in all divisions of the UFC. DC made sure to include the two-division champion, Georges St-Pierre, who retired in 2019.

The last spot on his list went to Amanda Nunes, who is the only active UFC fighter on his list. Surprisingly, Cormier chose to exclude Jon Jones, considered by many to be the greatest in the UFC, from his list. With a record of 26 wins and a single unfortunate loss, the statistics speak for themselves.
Cormier’s disrespect towards Jones shocked Jorge Masvidal and hinted that DC was still upset due to their history.
We will see UFC Commentator Daniel Cormier in action in the commentary box for UFC 281. Joe Rogan and Jon Anik will join him on November 13th at Madison Square Garden.
