Oh, snap, things are getting nasty out there in the Twitterverse.
Earlier today (Friday, Feb. 26, 2016), MMAmania.com writer Brad Popkin reported on the remarks Jon Jones made about failing a drug test and still beating down Daniel Cormier at UFC 182.
Well, “DC” saw that Popkin tweet and — how do I put this — did NOT take kindly to it.
Failing drug test is really something to be proud of. Hats off buddy ur a compete fuck up and proud of it. Good on u https://t.co/MVJCCU1HYC

Somebody immediately pointed out that Cormier lost to a “cokehead” (something Jones is frustrated at being referenced as, saying he’s a pothead) and the UFC light heavyweight champ agreed it wasn’t his “proudest moment.”
I am very aware of that. Not my proudest moment. But I’m sure u know that. https://t.co/v260FNppkJ

Clearly the comment got into Cormier’s head because he continued to respond on Twitter.
Bringing it up. Jon can win every argument pretty easy. All he has to say is I already beat u. https://t.co/ji1KDKnb5P

There’s been no love lost between these two since their original UFC 182 showdown and I doubt that will change in the weeks and months leading into their UFC 197 pay-per-view (PPV) headliner, which takes place April 23, 2016 inside MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
All we, the fans, can do is crack the popcorn and let a good old beef happen.
Well if it’s on, then it’s on, G.
