‘Dance for Me’- Daniel Cormier Calls Jon Jones ‘Dumb’ As Twitter Beef Intensifies

Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones seem to have reignited their rivalry, as the duo have been going back and forth on Twitter recently. The duo obviously shares a crazy history, as they were part of perhaps the most heated battle in the UFC. They fought twice in UFC 178, and UFC 214 with Jones coming out triumphant on both occasions.

Cormier is currently retired and works as an analyst of the sport. But that hasn’t stopped the two from taking shots at each other. Cormier recently suggested that Jones doesn’t have the punching power to knock out heavyweights, and that might cause him problems once he debuts in the division.

Jones posted an edited video on Twitter in response to those claims. He’d knocked out Cormier at UFC 214 and reminded the former two-division UFC champion of that fact. And now, DC has come up with a response to Jones’s trolls.

“There is a difference punch vs kick, you’re still as dumb as you’ve always been, you’ll never surprise me. Dance for me, I can always make you move. And lastly , this fight didn’t count if you forgot there was an issue…… remember?” wrote Cormier.

Jones’s UFC 214 win over Cormier was overturned as ‘Bones‘ failed his drug test, and not for the first time in his career. He was subsequently suspended for his actions.

Is Daniel Cormier right in his claims about Jon Jones?

Although Jones has 10 KO/TKO victories in his UFC career, most of them are the result of his ground and pound and elbows. He rarely knocks people out with one shot, if ever. Rather ‘Bones’ depends on the accumulation of shots and pressure on his opponents.

Also, the knockout video of Cormier that Jones has posted came by a head-kick and not punches. So, it’s fair to say, Cormier certainly has a point here. As an analyst of the game and his previous status as a UFC double champion, Cormier is more than well-equipped to voice his opinions on things as he sees.

Jones could let them go and take those as opinions rather than reacting to every criticism. That would serve better for a great of his status.
