Daniel Cormier wants to see Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic

The current UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, is currently on the sidelines. He recently defended his title but went into the fight with a torn MCL and damaged ACL. That will keep him out of action for a significant amount of time. But in the meantime, Daniel Cormier believes Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic should fight each other for the interim belt.

He said, “I think we’ll see another interim title. For me, what makes sense for that interim title is Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones.”

“I think you put those two together and then no matter who wins, when Francis comes back, you have a massive fight waiting for you.”

Miocic hasn’t fought since dropping his title to Francis Ngannou and Jones has been out of action for two years. However, the fight between the two makes sense, and an interim title on the line will only make things interesting.
