Jon Jones trolls UFC heavyweight and former light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier with a funny photo that he shared on social media. It appears that the bad blood between the two MMA fighters will never go away. One day, Jones says that he has put their history behind him then the next day, he pokes fun at DC.

Their first fight went down back on January 3, 2015, at UFC 182 where Jones picked up the decision win. The second fight went down when the UFC light heavyweight champion lost to Jones by third-round knockout in the main event of UFC 214. That fight went down in July 2017.

The former UFC light heavyweight champion shared a recent post by writing the following, “Somebody tell champ stop sending me this BS.”

Cormier has made it known that he wants to fight again then retire in March 2019. Cormier is supposed to fight former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar in January.

Jones will have the chance to prove people wrong once he fights Alexander Gustafsson. This fight will mark a rematch with the vacant light heavyweight title being on the line. This will serve as the headliner of the UFC 232 pay-per-view event. This event is set to take place on Saturday, December 29, 2018 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Derrick Lewis Believes Daniel Cormier Is Scared To Fight Jon Jones Again

Derrick Lewis has given his theory on why Daniel Cormier accepted a fight against him.

Derrick Lewis believes UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is taking this fight with ease on his mind. He has a theory to back up his comments and expressed it during a recent interview.

Cormier is slated to defend his heavyweight title against the hard-hitting heavyweight star in the headliner of UFC 230. Lewis went on record by stating that he thinks DC accepted this fight on short notice because of fear. That fear is to potentially fight Jon Jones for the third time. For months, the UFC didn’t have a headliner for this show. Then, Jones got cleared of his suspension for a failed drug test.

Derrick Lewis Has A Theory

This led to obvious connections that the UFC wanted him to fight at this show. However, that didn’t happen and his next fight got pushed back to UFC 232.

“The reason I think he took the fight with me is because Jon Jones was already fighting in (December),” Cormier said to MMAJunkie. “He didn’t want to wait until January and hear all the media talk about, ‘Why is Cormier not fighting for the 205 belt?’ They’re already saying he’s basically scared to fight Jones right now, anyway.”

Lewis believes that Cormier thinks this a perfect fight compared to taking on Jones, who beat the UFC champ twice before.

“He feels like it would be perfect to fight a guy like me that don’t have as much skills on short notice before the Jones fight and he thinks it’s going to be an easy fight for him. Yeah, I think he’s scared to fight Jones. The guy beat him twice.”

The UFC 230 pay-per-view event is set to take place on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, New York City. The main card will air on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET. The preliminary card will air on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass at 6:30 p.m. ET.
