Daniel Cormier has justified his initial reaction to Jon Jones’ victory over Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. During the fight, Jones won the UFC heavyweight championship by submitting Gane in only two minutes, with Cormier on commentary. Despite the longstanding rivalry between Jones and Cormier, the latter defended himself on Twitter after Jones mocked his reaction on social media. Although fans may continue to stir up controversy, Cormier believes he has no reason to defend himself and wishes that the two fighters had the opportunity to face off as heavyweights.
