Cormier Sees Victory in Wrestling Match Against Jones as a Slam Dunk

The former two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion recently stated his confidence in an unlikely scenario: a wrestling match between himself and current champion Jon Jones. Cormier believes that, given their size difference, he could easily dominate the bout, winning 10-0 on the scorecards. In the hypothetical matchup, Cormier sees himself using his wrestling background to control Jones from the top position. He claims that Jones’ tendency to be cautious in tight spaces would make it difficult for him to land any effective strikes, thus putting pressure on the referee to call the fight in Cormier’s favor. Cormier has been vocal about his disdain for Jones, calling out the champion on multiple occasions and questioning his loyalty to their sport. However, he also acknowledges that Jones is an incredibly talented fighter who could potentially outscore him if they were to engage in a stand-up contest. While it remains unlikely that Cormier would face Jones in a wrestling match, his confidence in this scenario highlights the intense respect both men have for each other’s skills and abilities.
