RIO DE JANEIRO – Daniel Cormier is not backing off the notion that a third fight with fellow UFC champion Jon Jones would have to take place at light heavyweigt. Cormier (22-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) hasn’t fought at 205 pounds since January 2018 but said he would be willing to go through “a horrible weight cut” if it meant another encounter with longtime rival Jones (24-1 MMA, 18-1 UFC), who he’s failed to beat in two previous attempts. “DC,” who is scheduled to put his heavyweight title on the line against Stipe Miocic (18-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) at UFC 241 in August, said he doesn’t feel he has to fight Jones again to complete his career, which is on short time.
