Jon Jones to Daniel Cormier: My innocence ‘shatters’ your ‘illusion’

Jon Jones has a message — or two — for bitter rival Daniel Cormier.

Jones targeted “DC,” the current UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion, in a lengthy Instagram post late Thursday night. Jones accused Cormier of not answering phone calls from USADA, the UFC’s anti-doping partner, “because the second you hear them say I’m innocent is the instant the illusion you’ve created shatters.”

“Then it’s all real AGAIN and that’s not a step you’re willing to take,” Jones, who is expected to return to action at the end of the year, wrote. “Instead you wrap yourself in your fake belt and keep telling yourself the shin that slammed into your face and the performance that buried you once again was enhanced.
