The UFC has long been a battleground for intense rivalries, with fighters aiming to dominate each other inside the Octagon. Among these feuds, the clash between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier stands out as one of the most iconic. Years after their last fight, the heavyweight champion has reignited the flames of this legendary rivalry, adding yet another chapter. 

Jones recently announced that he would like to ‘bury the hatchet’ with Cormier ahead of his last fight. According to ‘Bones’, he has respected DC but hasn’t gotten the same in return. However, to everyone’s surprise, Jones is back at it again, mocking Cormier on social media.

Recently, Jones shared a hilarious clip of him hanging an image of DC crying after their iconic fight at UFC 214. “La Cry De La Pus,” Jones wrote in order to ridicule his old nemesis as he decorated his new house. Jones didn’t elaborate on the picture, and DC has yet to respond to it; however, it has definitely caught the attention of fans.

The infamous moment occurred during the rematch between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones. In a highly anticipated bout, Jones secured a TKO victory over Cormier, reclaiming the light heavyweight title. However, the win was later overturned due to Jones’ violation of anti-doping regulations. Despite the reversal, the defeat deeply impacted Cormier’s professional career.

In the first fight, Cormier lost via unanimous decision, but the second loss turned out to be too much for the fighter. As a result, he couldn’t contain his tears after UFC 214. Joe Rogan was there to talk with DC after the fight and later regretted that decision. 

I went to go talk to Daniel, and literally as I’m going to talk to him, he’s turning to me… I’m like… What the f**k is wrong with me’?..I really care about that guy a great deal, and I just watched him get knocked out…It was haunting me all night…Nobody from the UFC got mad at me. It was just me thinking. Why did I interview him? I shouldn’t have interviewed him.

Since then, DC has announced his retirement, while Jones has continued his dominance in the world of MMA. Cormier has mostly kept it professional while commenting on Jones as an analyst. However, these recent developments have the potential to shape a different narrative between the two legends.
