Daniel Cormier has offered a surprise to the old rival Jon Jones after the recent bid of the latter in a unique name after his UFC pension.
Hall of Fame star Daniel Cormier, related to his long enemy Jon Jones, is also a former two-weight champion in the Octagon and wins both slightly heavyweight and heavyweight gold during his memorable term of office.
And despite the fact that they picked their beef almost earlier this year before Jones's retirement, Lafayette star Cormier continued to be continued by the pronounced resident of Rochester.

But behind the back of a unique request from Jones, Cormier insists that he is now a fan of the latest approach to marketing of the best consensus of all time.
Daniel Cormier supports Jon Jones' 'Forever' Champion Bid
Hoping to secure himself on the approaching UFC Witte Huis card next summer, Jones finally shot his bid by Dana White, who wondered if he could trust the New Yorker to fight the night if he was booked.
And with his praises and CV in the Octagon earlier this month, Jones courageously claimed that he should have ended up the name as 'Forever' champion in his exit from combat sports.
After the back of that statement, his old enemy Cormier admitted that he is a fan of the idea, although unlikely that he will flourish with Jones' approach to promotion in his retirement.
'Jon (Jones) wants to be called the' Forever Champion '. He said that he should now become the 'forever champion' because of all his performance in the UFC and how long it is, “said Daniel Cormier in an episode of Good Guy/Bad Guy.
“Now, Chael (Sonnen), this Jon Jones, I like it. I like this! I don't like the nagging little B —. I like this because you have experienced hunters for three decades.
“Now, are we going to call him the champion forever? No. But I like that.”

And after an anti-doping violation had set up their UFC 200-rematch, Jones eventually returned to rematch Cormier in a title Unification Clash two years later.
Jones scored a first knockout victory on the High-Kick on the Louisianan to unite the belts, Jones again tested positive for a forbidden substance, this time a Turinabol metabolite, and was stripped of his crown.
Because of their short relationship, Cormier and Jones are sworn enemies to this day, with the duo never stopping their historic rivalry behind them.
