Once upon a time, getting Daniel Cormier to say positive things about Jon Jones would have been a long shot. Now that their heated rivalry has long been put to bed, Cormier can't help but admit he's impressed with Jones' longevity as a UFC champion.

But what else do we want to see in 2025? Here are five UFC fights we’re craving:

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones knows the end is near, which is why he's motivated by big fights. Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) defended his heavyweight title at UFC 309 when he finished Stipe Miocic by Round 3 TKO.

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has revealed his plans for the next five years, amid uncertainty of a showdown against Tom Aspinall.

UFC CEO Dana White is adamant that a heavyweight title unification bout between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall will take place in 2025.

While a list of the best fighters in history would have to include Jones and Georges St-Pierre, it’s clear that White is also taking into account cultural impact. None of the five people who defeated McGregor and Rousey in the UFC are named on the list, despite having great careers.

Former UFC "champ-champ" Henry Cejudo thinks Islam Makhachev vs. Ilia Topuria is bigger than Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall.
