5 reasons why Daniel Cormier needs to fight Jon Jones one last time

#2 Redemption for Daniel Cormier

Why Joe, why?

Fifth simultaneous multi-divisional UFC Champion. The first and only fighter to successfully defend a UFC title in different divisions. 22 dominating wins. Unarguably, one of the greatest pound for pound fighters of all time. Daniel Cormier's resume looks spotless when you don't mention his arch nemesis.

Jones became the first man to defeat DC at UFC 182 when he outclassed the former Olympian in a unanimous decision victory. In the second fight, Bones improved on his accolades as he became the first man to knockout Cormier, which would later be reverted to a no-contest after Jones tested positive for oral Turinabol in a post-fight drug test.

The image of a sobbing Cormier will go down as one of the most heartbreaking moments in MMA history. He bounced back from the loss, beat Stipe Miocic to become the heavyweight champion, defended the heavyweight and light heavyweight titles and ended 2018 as the fighter of the year. These accomplishments may have numbed the pain, but we're sure Cormier would still harbour feelings of retribution against the only man to have bested him in his glittering career.

DC may claim he doesn't want the fight, but resentments don't wither away that easily and his fans too would be aching to witness an avenging triumph.
