Dave Sholler, stay well away.
The UFC’s Vice President of PR couldn’t hold off Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier when the pair started throwing punches at a press event ahead of their light heavyweight title fight.
So he would be advised to steer clear of Albuquerque this weekend as the pair of 205 lb monsters agreed to come face-to-face.
Jones has recently been reinstated to the UFC roster after serving a suspension for his role in a hit-and-run earlier this year which resulted in a pregnant woman breaking her arm.
Since then, Cormier has won and defended Jones’ vacant light heavyweight title by beating both Anthony Johnson and Alexander Gustafsson.
With fight fans eager to see a rematch of Jones v Cormier, Jones’ last fight before his ban, Bones took to Twitter to claim that he’d fight Cormier anywhere.
Honestly I'd fight Daniel in the OSU wrestling room. John Smith can be our referee. Just trying to take back what's mine

Cormier was quick to accept the challenge.
@JonnyBones if that's how we wanna do it. I can be in new Mexico in a few hours. And we can do it every day until fight day comes.

Then it all seemed to get very, very real.
Perfect Daniel, I'll be at Jackson's MMA grand opening this Saturday Oct 31st if you want to stop by. #BringyourKleenex

We don’t know about you but we’re about to start pricing last-minute flights to New Mexico.
