Jon Jones returned after a hiatus of 3 years to clash with Ciryl Gane for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. Jones finished Gane by submitting him in the very first round. Recently, video footage of the commentary booth’s reaction emerged. Fans are not very happy about how Daniel Cormier reacted to the submission.

Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones have never liked each other. The bitter rivals fought twice at UFC 178 and 214 but could not settle their differences. The commentary booth for UFC 285 featured Joe Rogan, Jon Anik, and Daniel Cormier. Though Rogan and Anik seemed shocked by what had transpired, Cormier looked disappointed.

Daniel Cormier has been criticized for not doing proper homework while commenting on duties and misspelling the fighters’ names. It is an unprofessional thing to do, and the criticism of Cormier not doing his job well will not disappear anytime soon. However, at UFC 285, Jones joined Cormier and Randy Couture as the only fighters to win the Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight titles in the UFC.

Cormier’s displeasure at the sight of Jon Jones winning easily indicates that the beef still exists between the both. Jones will now fight Stipe Miocic for his first Heavyweight title defense. Cormier and Stipe had a trilogy between them, which Stipe won. So, Jones will try to defeat Stipe to solidify his legacy as a Heavyweight.

It has not sat well with the fans, who took to Twitter to criticize Cormier for his antics. Check out some of the fan reactions:

Fans not being happy with his commentary and announcing gigs are nothing new. However, Cormier responded to the trolls by saying he was not bitter about Jones’s victory but confused about what caused Gane to tap against Jon as the viewing angle of Jones’ choke wasn’t clear from the commentary booth. Imagine what reaction Cormier would give if Jones beat Stipe the same way.
