One of the most well-known rivalries in the history of the UFC is the one between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones. The duo also had one of the most infamous stare-downs, which led to an all-out brawl. The history of this feud between ‘DC’ and ‘Bones’ can be dated back to 2010. A majority of fans would also agree that these two don’t actually like each other.

But the UFC thought the other way around. Despite having a thorough knowledge of the beef between ‘DC’ and ‘Bones’, the UFC still went on to place Jon Jones on the top of Daniel Cormier’s all-time best list of fighters.

The UFC appeared to mock Daniel Cormier

This news was publicized by the MMA covering Instagram page, Full Combat. They put out a post stating, “You can see him get visibly get mad”. It consisted of a snap and a video of Cormier lashing out at the UFC putting Jon Jones on the top of his top five list.

The snap also displayed a visibly annoyed Daniel Cormier along with a list of his, Top 5 Tri-State Fighters. The name of Jon Jones shone at the top of ‘DC’s’ top 5 tri-state fighters.
