In the early hours of Sunday morning, the two entered the octagon to settle their differences and it was exhilarating.
Many had the scores tied a 19-19 after two rounds with Cormier, in particular, receiving kudos for being patient in picking out his strikes but in the third round, Jon Jones settled any debate as to who is the better of the two fighters.
