Daniel Cormier thinks Jon Jones might’ve drawn a tougher heavyweight debut matchup in Ciryl Gane . With heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou electing not to re-sign with the UFC , Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) will now face Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) for the vacant title in the UFC 285 headliner on March 4. Although Ngannou possesses scary knockout power, which has shut the lights out of the majority of his opponents, Cormier believes that former light heavyweight champ Jones could face more issues against Gane. “I thought Jon vs. Francis was the biggest and my most anticipated fight because of the dangers that Francis Ngannou presents to Jon Jones with the power and everything,” Cormier said on his YouTube channel
