Daniel Cormier brands Jon Jones fat in heated face-off during reality TV taping: ‘You cheated’ Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones’ long-standing rivalry has resurfaced during a new reality TV show, with the pair exchanging sharp words and accusations during a taping session. The two former UFC heavyweight champions, who have clashed repeatedly in the sport, are now competing as coaches on the show, reigniting tensions that date back to their 2014 feud. Their latest confrontation, captured in a recent episode, highlights the unresolved animosity between the fighters. The rivalry began in 2014 when Cormier and Jones faced off in a highly controversial title fight, with Jones winning by split decision. However, Cormier later claimed the outcome was unfair, citing a failed drug test that led to the second fight between them being overturned. During the latest taping, Cormier reiterated his stance, arguing that Jones’ second victory over him was invalid due to the failed test. “He cheated the second time so he didn’t win,” Cormier said, challenging Jones’ claim of a 3-0 record against him. Jones, in turn, dismissed Cormier’s argument, insisting that his own record against the former champion remains 1-0. The tension escalated further when Jones mocked Cormier’s current physical condition, joking about his weight. Cormier responded by accusing Jones of trying to hide his gut after bulking up for heavyweight competition. “He tries to pull his shirt and s—” Cormier said, adding that if they were to fight during the show, he would “probably drown” Jones in the pool due to the fight being at a more natural weight. The exchange underscored the deep-seated bitterness between the fighters, with Cormier suggesting a potential rematch in a grappling or RAF Wrestling contest rather than a full MMA fight.#ufc #jon_jones #daniel_cormier #reality_tv_show #heavyweight_champions
