Daniel Cormier Fires Back, Blasts Jon Jones’ History With Drugs

Former UFC light heavyweight champion and current pound-for-pound king Jon Jones took a shot at his upcoming opponent, reigning champion Daniel Cormier, with a hilarious Instagram picture yesterday (March 1, 2016), pitting “DC” as fictional character Carl Winslow.

The back and forth jabs have continued, as Cormier has fired back with an Instagram post of his own today (March 2, 2016).

Using the same UFC 197 fight poster, the champion once against blasted Jones’ troubled history with banned substances.

Check out the photo below:

Oddly enough, “DC” has since deleted the post.

Since suffering the first professional loss of his career to Jones at January 2015’s UFC 182, Cormier has picked up back to back victories over Anthony “Rumble” Johnson and Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafssson, fights in which he successfully won and then defended the title.

“Bones”, on the other hand, hasn’t competed since. He was actually scheduled to fight “Rumble”, but he was forced out of the bout, stripped of his title, and suspended after being arrested on felony hit-and-run charges in New Mexico last April.

The former champion has since avoided jail time and been reinstated by the UFC. He has also seemingly found a new sense of motivation and focus, and he will attempt to regain his title when he faces off with Cormier for a second time on April 23, 2016.

How do you see the rematch playing out?
