When Daniel Cormier made his case for why he thinks Jon Jones does not qualify to be in the ‘GOAT’ conversation, it reignited the beef between the two men. Jon Jones took to Twitter to troll Daniel Cormier and to throw shade at him. ‘DC’ replied befittingly.

Who knows maybe you’ll be the best high school coach who ever lived, pulling for you buddy”
