“It’s Fake” – Awkward Jon Jones & Daniel Cormier Phone Call Leaves Fans Divided on “One of the Greatest Rivalries in UFC History”

The sport of MMA is incomplete without mentioning the name of Jon Jones. The 36-year-old is currently working on his fitness and waiting to make a comeback. The current heavyweight champion faced a shoulder injury before his UFC 295 clash against Stipe Miocic. Reports suggest that Jones would make a comeback later this year and most likely take on Miocic.

One of the biggest highlights of Jones’s career was his rivalry with Daniel Cormier. The pair had a lot of personal beef which resulted in some outstanding clashes inside the Octagon. Jones has always shown his appreciation for Cormier after the latter retired from the sport.

As fans wait for his return, Championship Rounds recently posted a video on X featuring Daniel Cormier. The video showed the kind of mutual respect the fighters had for each other. However, the fans were not impressed. The entire conversation revolved around ‘DC’ and Jones respecting each other before his fight with Ciryl Gane.

Looking at their history, one can never forget the intense press conferences and social media altercations. With time, the pair finally made peace with each other, but it seems the fans don’t quite feel the same.
