If you’re hoping for a trilogy fight between current two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and former title holder Jon Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC), don’t hold your breath. “There’s no reason to grant (Cormier) a fight,” Jones said today in New York at a press conference promoting his UFC 232 fight with Alexander Gustafsson . “He got knocked out the last time we fought.” Jones and Cormier have fought twice before, with “Bones” proving victorious each time. However, the most recent pairing, a July 2017 fight that Jones won via third-round knockout, was later overturned to a no contest when Jones tested positive for turinabol, a finding that ultimately led to a 15-month suspension order from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
