UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier appeared Thursday morning on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, and discussed the long, strange series of events with the troubled Jon Jones.

“We have to see how this plays out, but I think in time [we will fight again],” said Cormier, as transcribed by Jed Meshew for MMA Fighting. “Four times Jon and I have been scheduled to fight and we’ve fought once. The very first fight he pulled out of, then he beat me, then I pulled out of the fight in April, and now this. It’s a snake bitten fight man. It seems as though every time we’re getting close to it happening, something horrible goes wrong. So I think in time, but he has to see what happens with this. Mistake or no mistake, USADA does not play around. There will be a suspension and he will have to abide by that.”

“It’s still disappointing. Obviously the young man’s hurting. We don’t know exactly what he’s going through but honestly that was a mistake made in there. Whether it be purposely, whether it be something they didn’t know about, there was a mistake.”

“There’s been a number of occasions where, for lack of a better word, [Jon] kind of let the promotion down. When that happens it’s very hard to put your faith in someone like that. You see the UFC’s machine go full go behind Ronda Rousey, behind Conor McGregor and those guys, they hold up their end of the bargain. It’s your job to show up and fight and it’s your job to always try to do the right thing.

It’s unfortunate because he’s one of the most talented people that I’ve ever seen, and it’s unfortunate because he can’t get out of his own way.”

Daniel Cormier fights Anderson Silva Saturday night in a three-round, not title fight at UFC 200.

Jon Jones likely faces a two-year suspension.
