The rivalry between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier is perhaps one of the longest-running rivalries in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. Despite Daniel being retired, the feud between the fighters on social media endures.
Last week ‘DC’ and ‘Bones’ traded insults on Twitter over issues that they have been fighting over ever since the start of their rivalry.
‘Bones‘ and ‘DC’ are two of the most decorated fighters to have ever stepped into the octagon, and certainly future Hall of Famers. Jon Jones is the only person apart from Miocic to have secured over one win over the former champion.
