Daniel Cormier: “Jones could potentially beat Nganna at a distance”

Former UFC two-division champion Daniel Cormier believes John Jones has a chance to win against heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

“If Jones could fight his fight, he could potentially take out Francis from a distance. He can do it. He’s a smart fighter and knows how to control the course of the fight. But I’m not sure if he can hit Francis hard enough to keep him five rounds to keep Francis from flying to knock him out.

We often forget that Ngannu just has a steel jaw. He holds up well. This right that Stipe caught him with was tough. He was slightly shaken by this blow, but after five seconds he had already knocked out his opponent. So he has a steel jaw. We have a terrific fighter with Jones vs. Francis. You need to do this fight. Such fights rarely turn up, “- said Daniel Cormier in an interview with Ariel Helvani.

Recall that Cormier also believes that Jones will agree on a duel with Ngannu.
