Jon Jones, recently retired from MMA, reacted to unexpected praise from longtime rival Daniel Cormier. Cormier, acknowledging Jones's victories in their two fights, specifically highlighted Jones's win in Anaheim as defeating Cormier at his peak. Jones shared the clip on his Instagram story, calling it a "Rare W." However, Cormier believes Jones's retirement is strategic, predicting a comeback if Tom Aspinall, the new heavyweight king, loses his next fight.
