It's not quite clear what's next for Jon Jones in the UFC but he is training in a new gym with Henry Cejudo. He has been teasing a move to heavyweight for years, but it looks like it's finally going to happen.

Daniel Cormier got brutally honest as talked about his chances in the weight class. He doesn't think Jon Jones can become UFC champion at heavyweight.

“I believe that Jon Jones will fight at heavyweight and he’ll fight for the belt, but he’ll lose to Ciryl Gane or Francis Ngannou,” Cormier said on his ESPN show “DC & RC.” (transcribed by Farah Hannoun). “I just think that the time away, with the weight difference, and those guys being who they are, that’s the problem. It’s not that Jones has gotten worse; it’s just that these guys are a different level of heavyweight.”

It's tough to figure out if Daniel Cormier is right or if he still has a grudge towards his rival. The two have been part of one of the most famous beefs in UFC history.

Jon Jones should have some news on his next UFC fight soon as he looks to bounce back from a tough 2021 outside of the cage. Daniel Cormier is going to continue doing big things in the media space with ESPN.
