A similar incident happened during their second title fight, Cormier called Jones a Junkie due to allegations regarding drug abuse and PEDs. During the pre-fight press conference, Jones confronted DC and both got into a verbal altercation “You are a bum, that’s why you look like a bum,” DC said to Jones.  

Jones, who is known for being a physical specimen, replied back by showing his ripped body. He said, “Who looks like a junkie here today.”

DC mocked Jon and mentioned, “That’s just all for show, you can show your six-pack.” Jones got furious and made fun of DC’s outfit and called him a crackhead. “You look like a crackhead with a suit on,” said Jones. However, DC had a savage reply that even forced Jones to fall silent. DC said, “I could look like a crackhead with a suit on but I have never been a crackhead like you tho. You could say I look like one but I’ve never been one.” DC hit the nail with that one as Jones is infamous for partying and consuming drugs very often.

Aside from his rivalry with Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier is considered one of the most decorated fighters in UFC history. The UFC Hall of Famer is a legend of the sport and recently did an interview with “The Pivot Podcast” where he talked about his career. 

As expected the topic of Jones was inevitable and the fighter said, “The dude’s so talented, he could’ve won the fights, anyway,” Cormier said. “The first time we fought, 2015, that was seven years ago. I was 36 years old. Dude was like 24. Young man. Tall, got all the physical gifts. He beats me. Gets suspended for the first thing.” DC is still mad at Jones for using steroids and not fighting fairly.

Next time, steroids. Failed. Next time, steroids, failed. It’s like every time we fight, and you get suspended, if we go through the interaction and you win the fight, that memory does not disappear,” said DC. Unfortunately, what could have gone down as one of the most amazing title fights between DC and Jones has to face such controversies. Nevertheless, both still have a great professional career and deserves the respect.
