We don’t know who to believe.
On Friday night, Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones went back-and-forth on Twitter and seemingly agreed to an unsanctioned fight at Jones’ gym in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Perfect Daniel, I'll be at Jackson's MMA grand opening this Saturday Oct 31st if you want to stop by. #BringyourKleenex

We spent the whole day refreshing our Twitter feeds to see if the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion actually took the plunge and flew to New Mexico to take Bones up on his challenge.
Then came the update.
DC posted a photo of himself outside the Jackson Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque, claiming that Jones’ team wouldn’t let him into the gym to confront his bitter rival.
I'm here they won't let me in! Next time he has to come to the Bay! pic.twitter.com/xUezZqo63Q

Jones called Cormier out on the suspiciously grainy quality of the photograph, claiming that the picture was photoshopped and that Cormier was nowhere to be seen all afternoon.
Thank you to all the people of ABQ who came out to support the Grand opening. Sorry you guys didn't get a chance to meet my belt sitter #505

Did this idiot seriously just Photoshop a photo? Funny how not one of the thousand people who SHOWED UP saw you today. #Patheticattempt

There are anticipated rematches and then there’s Jones v Cormier II.
