Jon Jones Responds to Daniel Cormier, Calling Him “Out of Touch”

Jon Jones has responded to Daniel Cormier, calling him “out of touch” on ESPN via Twitter. Jones was clearly displeased at DC’s comments with Ariel Helwani and promptly responded to him. For context, this is what DC had said about Jones.

“That’s whack, that’s so whack. Hey, have you ever met a guy that’s so out of touch? Like he’s outta touch. It’s like okay, Jon Jones. Why not just go, hey, I was afraid of Dominick Reyes? But now I want to go back to 205 and fight Jan Blachowicz because he beat Dom. Like that’s crazy.”

Jones responded by reminding DC of what happened when they met in the Octagon. Cruel, considering how hard that loss was for DC, but there has never been an inch of mercy in this rivalry. Jones loves the role of being a villain. Considering he has one clean win and one overturned win against DC, Jones will always feel like he has the upper hand.

Jon Jones and instigating rivalries?

No amount of written words can cover the genuine bad blood between these rivals. Jones and DC are true examples of two fighters hating each other and certainly wanting to fight.

Jones won both the times they squared off, once by KO and the other time by decision. The KO win was overturned after it was revealed that Jon Jones was flagged by USADA. This positive test came off the heels of another positive test that had shelved Jones vs Cormier at UFC 200.

Jones has been going on a rampage on Twitter, tweeting against everyone that is talking about him. DC is just the fourth target that Jones has had. Jan Blachowicz, Dominick Reyes, and Israel Adesanya have all faced their fair share of taunts from Jones on Twitter.

While a fight between Jones and DC is very unlikely after DC’s retirement, you just know that both men would love to have another go at beating each other senseless. At this point, a lot of people would love to do that to Jon Jones, considering his stature.
