Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier’s rivalry is still alive and well, even years after their last UFC fight.
Jones recently shared a unique suggestion for how they can settle it once and for all.
Jones and Cormier have recently been coaching on a Russian reality TV show akin to The Ultimate Fighter. During their time on set in Thailand, they have shared plenty of memorable moments — some of them quite tense.
In one of their latest exchanges, they once again began to jaw back and forth with each other. That led to Jones offering Cormier “one minute” to settle the score.
See it below:
Jon Jones challenges UFC nemesis Daniel Cormier to one-minute fight
“Everyone in this room knows who the man is,” Jones stated.
“It’s up for debate,” Cormier snapped back.
Jones then claimed the debate has been over for years, before making his offer to Cormier.
“I’ll give Daniel one minute if he wants one,” he said, standing up. “One minute.”
Cormier did not take Jones up on this challenge, claiming Jones doesn’t “have enough money” to pay him to fight. That’s not surprising, considering he’s been retired far longer than his rival — since 2020, to be exact.
Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier fought twice in the Octagon. Jones won their first encounter, in 2015, by unanimous decision. In their second meeting, in 2017, Jones won by TKO after stunning his rival with a head kick. However, that result was subsequently overturned when Jones failed a drug test. That failed drug test turned out to be a key detail in the pair’s rivalry. While Jones technically had better results, Cormier has often stated his adversary’s spotty drug-testing history calls those results into question.
They should RAF it
Yep…
Me, whenever Jon opens his mouth.
cringe from both sides
no steroid remark from dc…
Jones is a shitty person but even if he was clean, he still beats Cormier like a rented mule.
jones won the 3rd fight due to forfeit it seems
So Jones called him out on the spot and DC passed?
Then made it about money?
Can’t stand Jones, but if that’s how it went then DC bitched out.
I’d say fuck yeah step into the ring right now!
Did they fix the many problems they were having on that bottom tier Ultimate Fighter ripoff when Nate was on there with Jones or what?!
DC was just too small to negate Jones reach and speed, looked like DC had trex arms in those fights. That said no juice both in their primes at lhw and the fight is much closer to the 1st fight than the 2nd with DC winning one every now and again.
I hated jones most of his career (still don’t like him much) and used to like DC but I feel about the same about them now. However if they were to fight today jones wins every time, if they wrestle today jones wins every time. The best chance DC has to beat jones at this point is to challenge him to EA MMA and spam hooks until he falls (those who remember that game know).
Jones vs DC in BKFC
Really? wow
I loved EA MMA, Prime Tim Sylvia stacking bodies lol.
