One of the craziest UFC rivalries, Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones though ended up on paper long time ago it didn’t end up the questions surrounding the victory or defeat of the fighters in the Octagon. Recently on pound4Pound podcast former two division champ, Daniel Cormier opened up on his rivalry with Jon Jones and why it was so frustrating for him to fight his former foe while he was failing drug tests.
“I fought him when he tested positive for a performance enhancer. My frustration is, why did it happen every time? At UFC 182, when we fought, everyone talked about the drugs, the cocaine that he was doing. Also, his levels were super low, which is very suspicious. Why? Then we were supposed to fight at UFC 200. He tests positive, they pull him out of the fight. Why? Then we fight at UFC 214, he tests positive after the fight.”
Daniel Cormier said
DC didn’t stop there; he explained that he was working hard to get in shape to fight against Jon Jones, but the latter was doing drugs and getting suspended for his reckless behavior, and all this was only happening when they were supposed to fight.
“That’s where my frustration comes. You know that I’m gonna work my a** off. If you aren’t confident that you can work at that level, you seek out help… And it’s not happening against the other guys, it’s happening when we fight every time and that sucks.”
He added
The two fought twice in the Octagon, first at UFC 182, where Jon Jones defeated Daniel Cormier via unanimous decision, and second at UFC 217, where Jon Jones registered a KO Victory over DC. However, due to him testing positive for PEDs after the fight, the results were nullified, and it was declared a draw.
