Lately, there has been a lot of debate about UFC fighters and PEDs. Although it has been around for a while, it is not something that has suddenly come to light. However, it has become a hot topic in the UFC community due to everything that has been going on lately, particularly with Conor McGregor and the USADA drama. And recently, the UFC Hall of Famer, Daniel Cormier, touched on this subject in his latest video. When talking about how Jiri Prochazka was tested 64 times in 2022, Cormier brought up his arch-rival Jon Jones and posed some pointed questions about why he hadn’t been tested enough. Fans, however, took issue with what DC had to say about Jon Jones and went on to call him “salty“. Many stated that Cormier had not yet recovered from his defeats to ‘Jonny Bones’.
Fans blasts DC for his remarks on Jon Jones
In his latest YouTube video with Ben Askren, Daniel Cormier took a sharp jab at his arch-rival, Jon Jones. The discussion started off with Jiri Prochazka being the most tested guy and how the USADA pool works. And DC brought up his rival ‘Bones’ into the discussion with some intense questions about his testing.

Cormier said, “One of the reasons with Jon Jones was that he was gonna get to come back, but he was gonna be the most tested guy in USADA. They were gonna be on him. They were gonna make sure, that he didn’t have picograms or any of that stuff. Where are his damn tests? I mean, why is he not the most tested? Why are you testing Jiri Prochazka more than you’re testing this guy who has a history of having these types of issues?”
Thus, social media fans reacted to the Hall of Famer’s questions.
“Jon lives rent free in DC’s head.”
“No matter what point DC makes on Jones right or wrong, it is always going to sound like it’s covered in salt.”
“DC campaigning to get beat up again by Bones.”
“Just stop DC its been years already.”
“He’s mad he couldn’t beat Jon even without the roids.”
“What kind of random rant is this? Tf.”
“Clean or not DC doesn’t beat Jones ever.”
“DC don’t talk about your Daddy.”
“That head kick still rings in his ears 😂”
Jones’ fans certainly didn’t hold back in slamming Daniel Cormier for his comments. That’s one dedicated fanbase he has amassed over the years. However, they all are now waiting for Jon Jones’ comeback, which seems to be sometime in 2023, according to the UFC boss, Dana White.

Dana White on Jonny Bones’ comeback
One of the questions that Dana White was asked the most throughout the year was about Jones’ comeback. Anticipation was that fans may see him back in action this year itself, but didn’t happen. However, the 2023 spring rings the right bell for the UFC President.

“I’m hoping that we get him early next year, you know. In the spring,” said White. However, who is he going to fight next? That’s still unclear. But Francis Ngannou holds the highest bet in that regard.
