Hey pussy, are you still there?
They’re not the first, and they certainly won’t be the last, but former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and reigning 205-pound kingpin Daniel Cormier could be the greatest “Bitter Rivals” in the history of mixed martial arts (MMA).
Can you name one other UFC feud that got so out of hand it led to a monetary fine and community service?
Unless Cormier can defeat Jones — something he was unable to do when they first fought back at UFC 182 — this rivalry is likely to end in the UFC 197 pay-per-view (PPV) main event, which takes place on April 23, 2016 inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada (more on that showdown here).
It will be the first fight for “Bones” since his lengthy disciplinary suspension, while “DC” competed twice during his opponent’s absence. Considering their hilarious back-and-forth banter, I might be kinda sad when it all comes to an end.
That said, we may already have a budding feud ready to take its place.
