WATCH: Jon Jones tears several shreds off Daniel Cormier in brutal head-to-head

Compelling stuff

Patrick McCarry

Jon Jones walks every single encounter he has with Daniel Cormier.

‘Bones’ is determined to reclaim the UFC light heavyweight title at UFC 197 over Cormier, the man who won the strap during his ban.

Ahead of their much-anticipated joust, Joe Rogan sat down with the pair for a video feature entitled ‘Counterpunch’.

There are many great moments from this two and a half minute preview piece, but the pervading sensation is one of cringing for Cormier.

Jones looks completely at ease in the UFC environment and lands countless verbal jabs. He describes himself as ‘The Alpha’ and says Cormier cannot cope with his ‘sickening work ethic’.

It is a great watch and whets the appetite for UFC 197.
