Daniel Cormier publicly expressed respect for Jon Jones' mixed martial arts career following Jones' recent retirement amidst criticism. Cormier and Jones, known for their intense rivalry in the UFC, faced each other multiple times with Cormier acknowledging that their fights marked some of his best performances. Jones, who returned in 2023 after a hiatus, faced backlash for his title reign decisions. Cormier's admiration reflects not only their competitive history, but Jones' undeniable skills inside the Octagon.
Everything else aside, all the stuff outside of the Octagon, he won every time that he was put in a fight with a man, one-on-one.
I was never better than that time in Anaheim. That was the best I've ever been and he beat me.
