Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones — Fight recap

Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones fought to a no contest when the bout was overturned in the third round at 3:01 due to Jones testing positive for a banned substance post-fight. Jones dominated the striking exchanges, landing 95 of 165 significant strikes (57%) compared to Cormier's 58 of 140 (41%), and secured one knockdown during the contest.

Neither fighter successfully executed takedowns, with both going 0-for-3 on the mat, while Jones maintained marginal control time of 16 seconds. Jones' striking efficiency came from consistent head work (33 of 74) and leg kicks (30 of 48), while Cormier landed cleaner body shots (12 of 16) in a losing effort.
