Following another title defense, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is happy to face the heavyweight champion next.

Jones defended his title following a split decision victory over Thiago Santos in the main event of UFC 239 on Saturday night. Much of the narrative heading into the fight was whether Jones would face Cormier in a trilogy fight afterwards. In order for that to happen, Cormier needs to defeat Stipe Miocic when they meet in the UFC 241 headliner on August 17.

Should that occur, Jones is more than willing to face Cormier again:

“Absolutely (I would fight Cormier again),” Jones told reporters following UFC 239. “Me and Daniel, we’re both speaking the same thing. It’s going to be a super fight, and the only reason why it hasn’t happened is, I think, the UFC’s scheduling.

“When the UFC’s ready for the fight, they know they have two guys who are willing and able and they’ll approach us and they’ll say, ‘Hey, this is what he’s going to get paid’ and Daniel will be happy.”

That’s not to say Jones won’t face Miocic if he comes out on top. Having previously teased a fight between themselves, “Bones” is open to facing Miocic as well:

“Yeah, absolutely I’d be willing to fight Stipe, as well,” Jones added. “I’d rather fight Daniel because I feel like I have his recipe, but I’d fight Stipe, too.”

Do you think Jones will go to heavyweight next? If so, do you prefer him facing Cormier or Miocic?

Daniel Cormier Confident Stipe Miocic Is Not ‘Good Enough To Beat Me’

Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic will run things back in the main event of UFC 241 on August 17.

Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic will run things back in the main event of UFC 241 on August 17.

Ever since Cormier knocked out Miocic in the first round at UFC 226, the former heavyweight champion has been wanting the rematch. Yet, all signs pointed to a Brock Lesnar fight and then “DC” would retire. However, Lesnar stayed in WWE, which paved the way for the rematch. Although it is not the fight Cormier wanted, the heavyweight champ is confident he beats him yet again.

“I understand that he’s going to be better,” Cormier said at the summer press conference (h/t MMA Junkie). “But when I think about the fight and the little bit of time we fought before, I just don’t think he’s good enough to beat me. I mean, I just don’t. I think he’s a good champion. I think he’s a good fighter. I just don’t think he’s good enough to beat me. Whether it’s 25 minutes or two rounds, I’m still gonna win the fight.”

Miocic then got asked what he thinks about those comments and responded.

“I don’t know,” Miocic said. “Listening (to Cormier) right there, I’m not good enough. A good fighter, but not to his level.”

He then gave a real answer where he is confident he will right the wrongs of the last fight.

“We’ll definitely see August 17,” he said. “Trust me, a lot has changed. I’ve got my mind right. I’m walking out with the belt wrapped around my waist, no question.”

Whether or not Stipe Miocic will be able to right the wrong is to be seen. But, it is no doubt the biggest fight at heavyweight and a fight that many are interested in seeing.
