Former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier has spoken out about Stipe Miocic's return to the octagon to fight the promotion's heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
The toughest fight and the most meaningful fight in all of fighting right now is Jon Jones-Tom Aspinall. I don’t even know at this point if it should be Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic, and I like Stipe. I don't know what Stipe looks like today. For four years, he's lived the life of a normal person. Can Stipe still compete at that level, is the question.

Recall, the fight Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic can take place in November at the UFC tournament in New York.
