“I think Uncle Dana is going to throw so much at Daniel Cormier. He can’t pass it up; DC loves money… The winner of this Cormier and Miocic fight is going to get Jon Jones I believe” said Mendez
Moreover, a fight between Cormier and Jones makes sense for multiple reasons. Jones has been looking to move up to the heavyweight division. Also, he was close to fighting Francis Ngannou earlier this year.
However, the fight was called off due to contractual conflicts, Jon publicly called out Dana White over the failed negotiations and has been out of action since.

If Jon does return, a fight against DC will have several implications. Francis Ngannou is eyeing a title bout, after a string of devastating knockouts.
However, if Jones fights DC he would most likely go up in weight. Also, if DC emerges victorious, it could mean Ngannou will have to wait in line for a title shot yet again.
One thing is for certain, Daniel Cormier would like to reclaim the title and potentially retire on top by defeating Jon Jones.
