Cormier concerned about the crisis in American MMA

Alexandr Ormanji Feb. 10, 2026, 4:10 a.m.

"The heavyweight division is not dead because Tom Aspinall is a real beast. I think Ciryl Gane also proved in his last fight that there is serious competition for Aspinall in this division. Jon Jones is still around somewhere. I know many think he's finished, but he's still present and staying nearby. But the heavyweight division will always be fine because heavyweight fights are interesting in themselves - people don't need much to stay interested.

The main problem is the Americans. Because not only do we not have a single American in the top 10 heavyweights - we don't have a single American in the top ten pound-for-pound fighters at all"
