Jon Jones Calls Daniel Cormier Out on His “Coward” Behavior

Written by A.G. Lee

The war of words just got intense between stripped champion Jon Jones and current champion Daniel Cormier as Cormier offered to train his injury stand in OSP to fight Jon Jones at UFC 197.

“Daniel is an absolute coward who will never beat me,” Jones told Helwani. “And I say that not from an arrogant place. I say that from a place where, me getting my belt back, it means everything to me. That belt right now is a big part of my life. It means everything to me. Me losing to OSP should be the last thing that [Cormier] would want, because if I were to somehow lose, that means he doesn’t get to avenge his only loss.

“Him inviting OSP to his training camp shows me that he’s so grateful that he’s not fighting me in three weeks,” Jones said. “That he’s so grateful that he gets to have one more family photo-op with that belt, because he knows that he’s not going to beat me, especially now with a knee injury. He’s going to be nursing his knee to get back to 100-percent. I’m going to just be getting stronger, better, faster, more rehearsed in my gameplan to beat him.”

OSP turned down the offer, more than likely wanting to prove to himself and fans that he could win this fight without outside help to silence all the doubters, which is more than admirable on his part, but considering that he’s 3-2 in his last 5 and losing both of the fights to fighters Jones beat handily. We as MMA fans can only be skeptical  especially with him not taking a little bit of help.

Daniel Cormier on the Other hand was quick to reply to Jon Jones. And yes there is a heated battle of grown men going on on twitter.
