Jon Jones became the first man to ever finish Daniel Cormier at last night’s UFC 214 event in Anaheim, California, reclaiming his UFC light heavyweight championship in the process.
“Bones” was able to land a perfectly timed head kick on Cormier early in round-three and then finished “DC” on the canvas with some brutal ground and pound.
Here is how the pros reacted to Jon Jones stoppage victory over Daniel Cormier at UFC 214.
Both @JonnyBones and @dc_mma are so emotionally invested in this fight. I think the loser will definitely need some counselling 😬😳#ufc214

JJ doesn't seem to have the same wrestling advantage as the first fight. Still landing plenty though, as is DC. #ufc214

Sucks to see D.C. Like this. Jon Jones acted like a true champ on that mic.

Jon Jones (23-1 MMA) has now won fourteen straight fights. His lone career setback came to Matt Hamill in 2010, where “Bones” was disqualified for using illegal elbows.
Following his victory over Daniel Cormier, the newly crowed light heavyweight champion of the world, Jones, proceeded to callout former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.
