Daniel Cormier recently made some comments about Jon Jones moving up to heavyweight in the UFC. He thought Jones had no chance of beating Ciryl Gane and Francis Ngannou. Michael Bisping has recently come out and disagreed with his colleague.
Michael Bisping actually likes Jon Jones chances should he move up to the UFC's heavyweight division. Bisping even took it as an opportunity to fire a few shots at his ESPN colleague.
“They (Ngannou and Gane) are different, but I think I’ve got to disagree with Daniel Cormier here,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel. “These guys (Cormier and Jones) don’t like each other. They are major rivals. I’ve never had a rivalry like this, not somebody that I hated to that degree.”
“I didn’t have a rival to the sense that DC and Jon Jones does because it is deep. It is deep with these two. They never liked each other from the day they first met. It was in a nightclub, and right there and then they knew they were going to fight, and fight they did.”
Michael Bisping continued to break down how Jon Jones would do at heavyweight. He puts all of his stuff outside of the UFC cage to the side and got real.
“Regardless of his behavior outside of the octagon, which hasn’t been great. Regardless of the steroid tests, which does change things. It’s a massive asterisk,” Bisping said. “But the reality is, if you look at the performances, he (Jones) potentially is the greatest of all time. We’re talking the longest win steak in UFC history. Most title fight wins in UFC history. Has never lost a fight other than a disqualification… And he’s not even 35 yet.”
“There’s no what they he’s going to show up ‘old’ as they say. Now, he does have a problem. Ciryl Gane is unbelievable. Francis Ngannou is unbelievable,” Bisping said. “Jon Jones is out there. Jon Jones has a resume. Jon Jones is one of the best to ever do it. So to say that he can’t comeback after this time and beat those guys, I don’t think that I agree. I don’t think I agree.”
