“He is Rotten to the Core”: Daniel Cormier Predicted Jon Jones Would “F*** up”
Follow Us
Recently, the UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones was arrested for DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) and negligent use of firearms. While the news might have surprised many, rival Daniel Cormier had predicted it way before it happened.
Jon Jones is probably the most talented athlete in the UFC. The champion has had impressive wins over some of the best fighters in his division. The only blemish on his record came by disqualification against Matt Hamill, a match which Jones was clearly winning.
Just like a coin, even a champion has two sides. Jones has landed in trouble multiple times. The American was involved in a hit-and-run case involving a pregnant woman, doping violations—which he justified later on—and even had to rehabilitate himself for cocaine use.
