"I don’t (trust him), no. I don’t. In my opinion, I would never take the risk of headlining a show with Jon Jones again. I’d put him on the card, but I wouldn’t headline with him until he consistently gets back on track." "Millions of dollars are spent on this. For a card to fall apart, and how many cards have fallen apart because Jon Jones gets in trouble for something? So no, I’m not at that place with him.”
Cormier admitted on the MMA Hour that he has had the rematch against Jones in his sights since January 2015, when 'Bones' took a unanimous decision victory in their UFC 182 headliner.
He welcomed Jones getting the next crack at the 205 lb belt after his suspension ends, despite his troubles outside the Octagon keeping him inactive for an extended period. However, if White refused to make that fight a main event, Cormier would have to put the foot down.
"We'd all have to have some discussions. I'm not going to fight Jones on some card. It would have to be a certain type of card if we were going to take a co-main event type of role."There's only on man on planet Earth Cormier would be willing to play second fiddle to with a grudge match against Jones, the guy who's holding all the chips in the fight game.
"I'll put it out there - Jon and I will not fight in a co-main event to anyone other than Conor McGregor. That's the only way that makes sense, right?"It doesn't matter how much you weigh or how hard you hit, everyone wants a cut of that sweet, sweet Red Panty Night revenue.
