‘If I really wanted to…’ Jon Jones blasts Daniel Cormier for UFC rival’s ‘rent free’ comments

Jon Jones responded to Daniel Cormier, just as his greatest rival expected.

It is seven years since Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier last shared the UFC atachthoek and the two fighting legends are still going on.

The rivalry between Jones and Cormier reached his climax in 2017 when Jones closed their series on 2-0, Tko'ing Cormier in their UFC 214 Rematch with a main kick and bumps to win the UFC-light heavyweight title that he never lost to anyone.

Of course, the victory has since been removed from the record of Jones and has fallen to a no-contest after Jones had tested positively on the steroid Turinabol.

The retired Cormier recently called Jones and said how he did not 'play' false because of his skills and natural gifts, including his unreal reach of 84.5 inches.

Jones was not too happy with these comments, nor was he with Cormier who took him from his MMA Mount Rushmore.
