RAF Co-Founder Dismisses Cormier’s Chances vs. Jones, Calls Wrestling Match a Long Shot

Overview

• Daniel Cormier has proposed a freestyle wrestling match with Jon Jones under the Real American Freestyle banner.
• Izzy Martinez said Cormier "hasn't beat Jon" and claimed he doesn't think Cormier can beat Jones at anything.
• Martinez predicted Jones would "shock" Cormier again if they wrestled, framing the matchup as a promoter’s dream.
• He also questioned whether the bout will happen, citing Jones’ focus on family and a lack of appetite from either man to train intensely.
• Jones recently disclosed arthritis in his hip and suggested his MMA career might be over, while their rivalry was rekindled as opposing coaches on ALF Reality after two prior UFC meetings, one later overturned to a no contest.
