Daniel Cormier Reconsiders Jon Jones-Michael Jordan Comparison After Heated Debate

Cormier initially rejected the comparison but later admitted he might have been too quick to dismiss Jones' legacy in MMA.

Daniel Cormier and Kamaru Usman engaged in a heated debate over whether Jon Jones can be compared to Michael Jordan in terms of legacy.
Cormier initially rejected the comparison, arguing that Jordan's legacy is untouchable, unlike Jones, who might be surpassed in the future.
Despite his strong initial stance, Cormier later admitted on social media that he might have been too quick to dismiss the comparison.
Cormier acknowledged that Jones is one of the few UFC fighters who can still draw significant pay-per-view numbers, alongside Alex Pereira.
Jones' upcoming heavyweight title defense against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 is seen as crucial for further cementing his legacy, though some fans criticize him for not facing interim champion Tom Aspinall.
