There’s little doubt that Jones will eventually return to action and Cormier believes that once he does, the division comes down to those two and then a wide margin before getting to the third best fighter at 205 pounds.
“I think it’s me and Jon Jones and then everybody else,” Cormier told FOX Sports recently. “If he’s not around, then it’s me. People can like it or they can hate it, but it’s the truth, or as I say, the truth as I know it.
