Just because Daniel Cormier won’t be fighting at UFC 197, it doesn’t mean he’s stopping swinging punches.
The light heavyweight champion has not tried to hide the dislike he feels towards former long-time champion Jon Jones.
Cormier claimed the title which was left vacant when Jones was arrested for a hit-and-run incident that left a pregnant woman with a broken arm.
To date, his only professional defeat came at the hands of Jones at UFC 182 when ‘Bones’ won by unanimous decision.
While we were all looking forward to their rematch at UFC 197, Cormier’s foot injury put an end to that.
But even after offering to help out with his replacement’s training camp, the light heavyweight champion was still taking aim at Jones on Twitter, pulling no punches in a lengthy tirade after Jones called him a coward.
Coward is running from the scene of a crime without checking on person you hurt. Coward is refusing to fight Gustafson. Coward is ufc 151
