Round four in the Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier Twitter beef got pretty nasty.
Ever since Daniel Cormier pulled out of UFC 197, Jon Jones has been taking shots at him. This is to be expected, since they hate each other. But things escalated yesterday when Jones really went after Cormier for offering new JBJ opponent Ovince Saint Preux a free training camp.
Jones’ use of the word coward really seemed to get to Cormier, and he went on a lengthy tirade on Twitter about the former light heavyweight champion, bringing up everything from his failed cocaine test to his hit-and-run that led to him being stripped of the title.
Of course, Jones had to respond once again. Here’s what he had to say:
Lol you mad bro?

Oh I know, I can feel his frustration through his tweets. https://t.co/KVAo5EWxpg

Daniel just please explain to us all why you would help OSP if you truly want to fight me and legitimize yourself as the champion?

Simple question. I’ll be waiting for your simple explanation

Change your tampon, ice your shinsplints and but ready for UFC 200. My practice is starting, I’ll check in later for this answer of yours? ?

Cormier then started to talk to him directly again, which led to this exchange:
Now we are playing dumb? Will someone ask him my simple question https://t.co/ozLx5ueW3E

Here’s another question for you while we all still wait for your first answer. Are you hurt or are you injured?
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) April 5, 2016
Me, my team and any reasonable human being. https://t.co/hope1dwWG2

Can’t wait for round 5! Meanwhile, Jones faces OSP in just under three weeks for an interim title in Vegas.
