“I wasn’t there in the workout room with him when he got injured, I’ll say. But, there’s been lots of rumors that he was hurt, not injured. And to drop the fight being ‘hurt,’ it just makes no sense. My body, I have aches and little nooks and crannies all over my body, but it’s the cost of being an elite level athlete. You fight through that stuff.”
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Jon Jones told ESPN he’s not convinced that Daniel Cormier’s injury — which booted him from their UFC 197 pay-per-view (PPV) rematch this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada — was serious enough to cancel their title fight. “Bones” will still get to scrap for the interim strap, courtesy of Ovince Saint Preux, leading to a title unification bout later this year. No disrespect to “OSP,” but I think most mixed martial arts (MMA) fans are rooting for “Bones” just so he can settle his “DC” feud once and for all. Assuming everybody stays healthy between now and then.
