“There’s a Special Bond Between You Two”: Henry Cejudo Urges Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones to End Beef

Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier had one of the most heated rivalries in UFC history. However, that may not be alive for much longer if Henry Cejudo has his way. In a recent tweet, the former UFC double champion implored Cormier to consider burying the hatchet with ‘Bones.’ The 36-year-old also laid out examples of rivals that turned into friends to support his arguments. Furthermore, ‘Triple C’ called in a favor that Cormier owed him to get the ball rolling for peace talks.

Jon Jones recently made his heavyweight debut and won the title by beating Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. In the lead-up to the fight, Jones made it clear that he had no problem with Cormier commentating. The 35-year-old also added that he was willing to “let bygones be bygones.”

With Jones’ inclination to end the rivalry, Cejudo took it upon himself to reach out to Cormier for a conversation about making amends.
