Daniel Cormier believes Jon Jones won’t wrestle him, even for a seven-figure payday.
Cormier (22-3) and Jones (28-1) starred as rival coaches on the last season of ALF Reality, also known as the Russian version of “The Ultimate Fighter.” ALF boss Alfredo Auditore recently announced that they have almost finalized a wrestling match between Cormier and Jones.
Cormier confirms that they have been approached by ALF regarding a wrestling match, with a seven-figure payday offered. However, “DC” believes his longtime rival, Jones, won’t wrestle him. According to Cormier, both parties know that he will beat Jones 10-0 in a wrestling match. Cormier said on social media:
“Jones and I, that is a 10-0 match every single time. I know it, and he knows it… You don’t have to goad me into this wrestling match. I will beat him 10-0 at 47 years old. Here’s the problem -- I know I’m gonna beat him 10-0, he also knows that I’m going to beat him 10-0. That’s why he won’t wrestle me. He won’t do it. The amount of money that has been offered to us to do the wrestling match is seven figures. To wrestle! You’re telling me to wrestle for that? I’m in all day.”
Jones and Cormier share one of the most intense rivalries in Ultimate Fighting Championship history. Jones defended his light heavyweight title against Cormier via a unanimous decision at UFC 182 in 2015. While Jones knocked out Cormier in their rematch at UFC 214 in 2017, it was overturned to a no-contest due to “Bones” failing a drug test.
