Last night, in the main event of UFC 210, light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier defended his title for the second time with a second-round submission defeat of the dangerous Anthony “Rumble” Johnson. With this win, the champ set himself up for a possible rematch with his biggest rival – former champion Jon Jones, who was stripped of the title after a long list of troubles outside of the cage, and then suspended after a failed drug test in July of 2016.
During the UFC 210 post-fight presser, Cormier weighed in on Jones’ recent insinuation that he is a dirty fighter, and the possibility of a rematch with the former champ. Cormier did not hold back.
“It’s like you sit there, and you take a table, and you put a bunch of kitchen appliances,” Cormier said (via MMA Junkie). “Then at the end of one side there’s a pot. Then on the other side there’s a kettle. Then that pot starts yelling, ‘You’re dirty’ while he’s sitting there with a steroid needle. That’s my opinion on that. You sit over there, pot, with your Cialis or whatever that sh*t is called. Get over there, sit over there pot in the kitchen. Cialis boy.”
“The thing about the whole Jones thing is I would always fight Jon Jones – I’ve always said that,” Cormier continued. “I’ve always been here. This whole time I’ve been here. Jon Jones is the one that hasn’t been here to fight again. When I lost to him in January of 2015 I knew we would fight again. I knew it was just the beginning of a series of fights with him and I would have. I said it in the build-up, ‘This is just number one. We will have several fights.’ But we just haven’t been able to come together. So of course I’d fight Jon Jones.”
