The enduring rivalry between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones persists, showing no signs of reconciliation. Throughout their careers, their clashes in the octagon and verbal jabs outside of it have kept fans captivated.
Jones recently took the opportunity during a coaching seminar to playfully jab at Cormier, recalling moments from their fights, including mimicking Cormier’s reaction to a knee strike.
Cormier, in turn, responded on his YouTube channel, acknowledging Jones’ skill in exploiting his aggressiveness but also pointing out Jones’ habit of both complimenting and teasing him.
Cormier didn’t hold back, joking about Jones’ physique and recent encounters with criticism, while still acknowledging Jones’ talent and potential future fights, particularly against Stipe Miocic and possibly Tom Aspinall.
Despite their history of animosity, Cormier expressed hope that Jones would continue to compete at a high level in the UFC, even if certain anticipated matchups, like one against Francis Ngannou, may never come to fruition.
In the end, Cormier emphasized the importance of seeing Jones compete in the heavyweight division, believing it will provide insight into his abilities and potential legacy in the sport.
