5 Reasons why Daniel Cormier is better than Jon Jones

#1 Not afraid to fight in the division of giants

Daniel Cormier (right) isn't afraid to fight opponents even though they may be significantly bigger than him

Let's face it, Daniel Cormier spent a better part of his career in the Heavyweight Division, and primarily dropped down to Light-Heavyweight out of respect for his longtime training partner and team-mate Cain Velasquez who was the Heavyweight kingpin at the time.

DC found tremendous success at both weight-classes, and was unafraid while moving up to face whom many regarded the greatest Heavyweight MMA fighter of all time -- Stipe Miocic. As opposed to that, Jon Jones, despite being significantly longer than most Heavyweights, has time and again refused to move up to the division of giants -- a division in which he'd probably dwarf most of said 'giants'!

Additionally, his fights against Cormier took place at Light-Heavyweight, and not Heavyweight -- thereby giving Jones an innate advantage, since the younger an adult athlete is, the easier it is for him/her to cut weight. Despite the myriad of advantages Jones enjoys over DC, as well as the steroids/PEDs which are said to have helped Bones beat his much older rival; the fact remains that Cormier truly is better than Jones.
