                    <p>UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier appeared recently on Jon Anik and Kenny Florian&#39;s podcast, and discussed the apparently pending return of former champion Jon Jones.</p>

"I've said it before the [Gustafsson] fight. Everyone up here, me, Rashad Evans, Ryan Bader, Alexander Gustafsson, we're fighting each other and we're preparing but everybody wants that fight," said Cormier, as transcribed by David St. Martin for MMA Fighting. "Make no mistake about it. It's a sweepstakes to see who gets that fight against Jones. I just want it to be me. I've long said that Jones is the guy that can really compete with me in this weight class. Obviously, he beat me.

"I think I'm as good if not better than everyone else. I feel like I'm good enough to beat Jones. I want to be regarded as the best guy in the world and I want to beat the best guy in the world. When he gets back I want to be the guy standing across the Octagon from him. Jan. 3 settled nothing for me. I knew that was only the beginning. That was the appetizer."

"New York City happens in April. Yup, let's do it. If not, let's do it at UFC 200. Let's blow that s--- right up."

"Let's say the wheels start to fall off and I lose or I lose twice. I'll probably be done. My resume, my career and my legacy in this sport means more to me then collecting some checks. I'm going to do it until I'm not competitive and when I'm not competitive and not winning at the level that I'm winning now, I'll walk away. Yes, legacy does matter to me and I want to leave a good one in MMA."

Last week he was saying he wouldn't fight Jon Jones in NYC. There was an article on it here titled something like "DC wants JBJ, but on his terms".

Make up your mind, Daniel. Phone Post 3.0

Uncle Dana leaned on him, set him straight, not surprising really.

"Why should I allow this guy to go and fight where he's comfortable?" Cormier said at the post-fight press conference. "No, he has to go somewhere where he has to look at people in the eyes and hear the anger they have toward him for the actions that he did."



Jones, who hails from upstate New York, is currently suspended by the UFC indefinitely following his arrest in April on a felony hit-and-run charge. However, the former champion could be back soon. On Tuesday, Jones was given conditional discharge and 18 months of probation. He will not get any jail time and the UFC is set to consider lifting his ban pending a third-party investigation.

The crashed Bentley/DWI, cocaine test, and hit n run just make me want to see the tar get beaten of him that much more to bring him back down to earth
