Daniel Cormier insisted on his greatest rival not to follow in the footsteps of 'The Notorious' now that he has retired.
Jon Jones continued to talk about his retirement after the news was officially made that he would leave the heavyweight title of the UFC and end his career.
Despite this decision, 'Bones' recently plagued a return after the announcement of President Donald Trump of a UFC event that takes place in the White House in 2026.
Jones answered by stating that he is back in the UFC test pool, which would be able to go back to the Octagon for such an event.
The news also attracted the attention of Conor McGregor, who tried to use Cormier as an example for what his former opponent should not do.

'DC' asked for Jones, in response to his recent comments about the White House event, not to make a part of the story when something big happens in MMA's sport.
Cormier does not want to see Jones posting about fighting a certain opponent or returning to a specific date after he had taken the decision to retire himself.
“In most cases, Jon Jones and I don't see an eye to eye and boy, he has been great here for my YouTube in the last few months. He flopping everywhere has been great for my YouTube. But please do not become what Conor has become in the media. Every time a big story breaks,” I am back, “or” I do this. “
“Don't do that. Try not to make it about you when you voluntarily walked away from this. Conor did not run away voluntarily. Conor was injured and he left. He just didn't come back. Jones said voluntarily “I'm ready. 'So now that he is ready, don't try to make these stories about you when you are a man who is supposed to have run away from the game. “
Daniel Cormier ventilated his frustrations with regard to complications around his fighting with Jon Jones
Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones may have produced the greatest UFC rivement of all time, but their history also comes with a lot of controversy.
After their first fight on UFC 182, they were set for a rematch in the main event of UFC 200 until 'Bones' was drawn
“My frustration is, why did it happen every time? …” That's where my frustration is. You know I'm going to work my A – out. If you are not sure that you can work at that level, you are looking for help … and it doesn't happen to the other guys, it happens when we fight every time and that is crazy. “
A few days after he claimed that he re -introduced the test pool, Jones wrote on X: “It feels nice to be the hunter and not hunted for once.”
