Daniel Cormier, a former UFC champion in two weight classes, gave advice to his former opponent Jon Jones.
"I'll remind you of one thing Jones Jones said recently - now he can stay because 'the options look just crazy right now.' If I was Jones and I fought Miocic, I'd beat Stipe and then call for the UFC to get Pereira to move up to the heavyweight division because the Jones vs. Pereira fight is a huge payday. If they fight, Jones will come out a six time favorite to fight Pereira. It's not a great matchup in terms of competition, but I like Alex. It's hard to find a better guy that's worthy of it."
