Given their history, it’s no surprise that Daniel Cormier doesn’t have a lot of interest in throwing Jon Jones into the conversation of MMA’s all-time greats. DC and ‘Bones’ fought twice during Cormier’s 11-year MMA career, each time in contest for the UFC light heavyweight title. Their animosity surrounding those matchups created one of the sports’ longest running feuds. None of which was helped by Jones’ struggles with the law and with regulating bodies alongside his MMA career.
Jones failed a drug test for cocaine (something he shouldn’t even have been tested for, and a fact the UFC didn’t make public until after their fight) a month ahead of his first bout with Cormier.
