Once Jones exhausts his appeals process shouldnt Cormier be reinstated as champion? Not sure weve ever seen this situation
You are correct. Jones will never be recorded as having won the title.
Yes. And we have actually seen this before in different clothing.
For example Tonya Evinger loses belt to Yana Kunitskaya, afterwards bout gets overturned to a NC so belt goes back to Tonya Evinger.
Only thing I'm not clear on is whether it would count as a title defence for Cormier or not. I believe in Tonya's case it did as she used it to tie Cyborgs title defence record in Invicta.
