Although official retirement has been announced, Daniel Comer will remain active in the industry as a UFC event commentator and MMA coach. A few days ago, he was interviewed by the media and talked about his views on the old enemy "Bone" Jon Jones giving up the title of light heavyweight championship and planning to rise to heavyweight.
First of all, I don't take anything about Jones to heart anymore, it's a bygone era between me and him, and if I ever talk about him again, that's a ridiculous thing in itself. My career is over, I've achieved a lot of great things, and I'm not sure if Jones will be able to achieve the same results as I did when his career ends. I hope that my future life will be a life of more achievement, rather than being constantly entangled with the guy who keeps this problem.
I have no idea how Jones' career will end, and if he can make some real changes, maybe his story won't end in a sad end. I just want to put all my energy into running my life right now and don't want to waste any more energy on this guy.
Comill and Jones are arguably one of the most famous nemesis in the entire history of the MMA, and one of the main reasons why Cormir has been reduced to light heavyweight is to duel Jones. However, in both encounters, Comill was defeated, although the latter was changed to inconclusive because of Jones's drug test problems.
The three-time battle between the two has been hyped for a long time, but it has never been realized. After rising back to heavyweight, Comier and Skipper Miocchi met three times to create another classic. But when asked who was the number one nemesis of his career, Comill chose Mioch over Jones.
My number one nemesis was Miocci, a firefighter, a wonderful husband, and a man who loved his family. Jones didn't deserve to be my arch-enemy because he did so many things in his life that he shouldn't have done. I prefer to be compared to a firefighter who keeps people safe and loves family, and that's my answer to my old enemies.
Interestingly, It seems likely that Cornell's two arch-rivals will collide in the future. Although UFC Chairman David Blanche said that Mioch's next match will be a second match with Francis Nagano, Mioch himself said that he has no interest in playing Nagano again and wants to accept a new challenge.
Jones has been promoting himself to the heavyweight and challenging Mioch to build momentum, and although there is no sign of this game at present, Jones has never been more serious about the weightlift. As for why Jones should give up the light heavyweight championship title and rise to the weight, Comill gave his own opinion.
As you get older, the challenges you face become more difficult. These young people are constantly improving and growing, and they are entering their peak period and will continue for a long time. Dominic Reyes is in his current year, and maybe Jones doesn't want to risk a second game with him, after all, he has already won once, so for him, there is really nothing worth nostalgic about light heavyweight now
On the other hand, despite his disagreements with Jones, Comill has always had a lot of respect for Jones' skills and strength. He believes the former light heavyweight champion can play very well when he comes to heavyweight, even if the opponent is a strong man like Miocci.
All my resentment of Jones comes from a personal level, but from a pro-fighter's point of view, if you can have the skills and strength of Jones, then you will play well no matter what weight you are, that's the truth. Whether you love him or hate him, you can't deny this fact.
If Miocchi and Jones meet in an octagon cage, it will be a very tough battle for both of them. The result of the duel was either Miochi KO Jones or Jones winning by decision, as Jones did not have ko Mioch's strength, which had nothing to do with weight. Jones's blows weren't very heavy, and his most dangerous thing was the strength in his legs.
No matter who he plays, Jones is absolutely competitive. People say he's going to be at great risk of being KOD when he gets to heavyweight because his opponents are too big, but I think he can succeed in heavyweight because I've been playing against these big guys and I've been the champion. The heavyweights are indeed big, strong, and dangerous, but Jones is fully capable of playing against them.
