Not surprisingly, interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is ramping up the trash talk on arch rival Daniel Cormier heading into their long-awaited rematch in the main bout of July 9’s UFC 200 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Not surprisingly, interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is ramping up the trash talk on arch rival Daniel Cormier heading into their long-awaited rematch in the main bout of July 9’s UFC 200 from Las Vegas, Nevada.
After Jones beat Cormier by decision at January 2015’s UFC 182, he was unceremoniously stripped of the title after he agreed to a plea deal on felony hit-and-run charges that left a 25-year-old pregnant woman with a broken arm in his second home of Albuquerque, New Mexico. A path was opened for Cormier to win the vacant title, and he did by beating Anthony Johnson at UFC 187.
The two were supposed to settle their differences at last month’s UFC 197, but a leg injury to ‘DC’ forced Ovince Saint Preux to fill in for Cormier, and he lost a one-sided decision to the ultra-talented icon.
When UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor was pulled from his main event rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 200, Jones vs. Cormier 2 became the new main event for the summer blockbuster even though Jones had a potential six-month medical suspension and Cormier’s health was still a question mark.
But for now, the two bitter enemies are set to collide once again and finally settle their rivalry, so Jones got on Instagram to blast his No. 1 counterpart with a jab at their now-infamous brawl at the UFC 178 media day in 2014, and also at Cormier’s supposed wrestling advantage based on their first bout.

When Daniel Cormier steps into the Octagon in the UFC 200 light heavyweight title unification main event against former champion Jon Jones, he feels he will be competing against a different man than the one who beat him back in January of 2015.
Cormier explained at the recent UFC 200 press conference that in his UFC 197 fight against Ovince Saint Preux, the world saw the “new Jon Jones.”
“I think this is Jon, this is the new Jon, this is Jon Jones with all the muscle,” Cormier said on The MMA Hour. “This is Jon Jones that likes to lift weights, who’s a big guy that’s cutting weight and can’t rehyrdate the old way under USADA rules. This is Jon Jones in the real world today, so when we fight in July he’s going to look the same.”
According to D.C., he saw seeds of doubt in Jones’ mind when he wasn’t able to put away OSP inside the distance at UFC 197.
‘He’s going to have questions. And he’s going to question himself, and you could see him processing things inside the cage. He’ll go home now and he’ll wonder, guess what bud, that’s who you are now. That’s how he’ll look to July when I’m kicking your ass.”
While Jones claimed that the short notice change in opponent was the reason he couldn’t get the finish inside the Octagon, Cormier isn’t buying it.
“You know from a guy that again said ‘I want to thank my Lord and Savior for getting me here,’ then flipped me off two minutes later, you understand he flip flops,” Cormier said. “In the Octagon he said the issue was he prepared to fight me and Ovince is a southpaw. If you watch the fight, OSP was fighting conventional almost the entire time.”
Cormier vs. Jones II headlines the landmark UFC 200 event on Saturday, July 9, 2016 at the brand new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, California is home to some of the best mixed martial artists in the world including UFC champions Luke Rockhold and Daniel Cormier, former champion Cain Velasquez, and top contender Khabib Nurmagomedov.
The success of the team inside of the cage speaks for itself, but AKA has also garnered its fair share of criticisms due to its somewhat questionable injury history.
Velasquez and Nurmagomedov have been plagued with injuries over the last few years, and Cormier also recently pulled out of a highly anticipated title fight to due to an injury suffered in training.
While many have fired shots at the team, and more specifically at Velasquez, Rockhold recently spoke on the situation, saying that injuries happen in MMA, and that nothing is intentional:
“Injuries happen, we have a high level of competition at the gym,” said Rockhold in a recent interview with MMA Fighting. “But we’re family and people aren’t trying to hurt each other. From time to time, things happen. I don’t believe we have a big problem with injuries. I know myself, I know DC, I know a lot of these guys and a couple injuries plague you, but the rest of us have been pretty healthy.”
Continuing on, the reigning 185-pound champion said that AKA is simply the best camp in the world with the best fighters pushing each other to their limits:
“Cain gets some injuries, but people are fighting,” added Rockhold. “We just come from the top camp in the world with a lot of top names and there’s a lot of focus. Any time anyone gets hurt, people want to point the finger. But the thing is, we have the best camp in the world and there’s a reason why that’s happening.”
Do you agree with Rockhold, or does AKA seriously have to consider their training methods?

Ever since the heated few weeks preceding Jon “Bones” Jones and Daniel “DC” Cormier’s first championship tussle at UFC 182, there has been an impassioned debate over just who is the better mixed martial artist.

Ever since the heated few weeks preceding Jon “Bones” Jones and Daniel “DC” Cormier’s first championship tussle at UFC 182, there has been an impassioned debate over just who is the better mixed martial artist. Jones’ decisive victory, his eighth consecutive light heavyweight title defense, appeared to be enough to put the final nail in the proverbial coffin of that fervent argument.
However, after numerous slip-ups outside of the cage by “Bones” and two very imposing performances by Cormier in the former champ’s absence, the debate over whom is the superior fighter slowly crept back towards a state of equilibrium.
The dispute carried on for months, with each man happily providing his two cents as to why he is the better fighter, and it all came to a sort of culmination last weekend (Sat., April 23, 2016) at UFC 197, when Jone’s fought Ovince St. Preux for the interim light heavyweight strap. Admittedly, Jones looked more mortal than he normally does in the Octagon, but he still managed to turn in a dominant five-round performance against “OSP” to secure the inherently meaningless interim title.
Though victorious, “Bones’” surprisingly ordinary performance did not go unnoticed by Cormier, who was sitting (and commentating) ringside during the main event bout.
According to “DC”, Jones’ ring rust was quite apparent, and he even went as far as to say that had he faced Jones that night, he was utterly confident that he would have sent Jones home shouldering the burden of his first legitimate pro loss, and that Jones was ‘lucky’ that he instead fought “OSP.” He was so confident that what we all witnessed was the “new Jon” that he said their newly scheduled bout at UFC 200 would be ‘light work’.
Right on cue, as expected, Jones fired back with his now-routine responses, attacking “DC’s” wrestling skills and his inability to ’embrace the grind’ in the championship rounds. But what was far more surprising was the fact that Jone’s head coach Greg Jackson, a generally reserved and seldom publicly vocal personality, voiced his own opinion in defense of Jones from Cormier’s quips.
“Jon’s one of those guys that fights to the level of his competition. When the going gets tough, he gets going for sure. I’m very confident he would have won that night because he would step up to that [Cormier’s] level. He’s one of those guys if you push him really hard he will push back…For me, we’d done so much work for Daniel, I think he still would have won that night. If you push him hard, that almost wakes him up.”
Not the most vehement of retorts, no, but that’s not really Jackson’s style. He tends to take the high (and silent) road and leave the coach-versus-fighter banter up to gentlemen like John Kavanagh and Rafael Cordeiro.
Nonetheless, if this is just a minute glimpse into the tornado before the storm that’s coming in the build-up leading to the main event at UFC 200, it’s safe to say that we’re in for quite an entertaining ride.
