Jon Jones: Daniel Cormier predicts retirement for 'Bones' after Stipe Miocic title fight in a specific scenario

Jon Jones is set to defend his newly acquired heavyweight championship for the first time against former champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 at the Madison Square Garden in New York.

With Jones hinting at retirement after the fight and a potential victory that cements his legacy as a pound-for-pound great, former rival Daniel Cormier believes otherwise.

'DC' is sure of a retirement following the main event of UFC 295, but predicts that it will be the loser hanging up his gloves. He said on the DC & RC show:

​

"I know Jon Jones said that Stipe [Miocic] may be his last fight, but I don't know if I believe that just yet. The money's too good [and] he's still too young. But I do believe that if Stipe [Miocic] loses, he's done. Jon Jones loses, he might be done. That's the only way Jones will retire."
