“DC”, who lost to Jones in a unanimous decision by the judges at UFC 182, on January 3, stated that the fight makes him feel even more confident in taking the belt in the event of a rematch. “Jon won that fight. But, after the fight, I didn't have any doubt in my mind that I can beat that guy. Nothing changed. If we fought again, I feel like I'll be even more confident that I can win. He didn't beat me. He won the fight”, said the American, in an interview with the “Bleacher Report” website.
“He didn’t beat me up, I didn’t beat him up. We participated in a very tough, very competitive fight. And, if anyone believes it was anything other than that, watch the fight again and you will change your opinion,” added Cormier, who has a record of 15 wins and one loss in MMA.
