\"Jones<\/a><\/p>\n

This past weekend, at the ‘UFC: Welcome To The Show’ press conference, Jon Jones and Anthony Johnson squared off for fans and media members.<\/p>\n

When the two met on the center of the stage, the two proceeded to reenact the infamous brawl Jones had with Daniel Cormier prior to their fight (See that HERE<\/a>), however nobody else was in on the joke at first. After everyone realized it was a joke they shared a laugh, including UFC President Dana White.<\/p>\n

Now, Anthony Johnson is admitting that he in fact was the mastermind behind the idea of the fake brawl. <\/p>\n

He spoke to MMAJunkie<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018We need to do something to get everybody going,\u2019 and he said, \u2018I\u2019m going to headbutt you.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Cool, let\u2019s do it,\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Johnson went on to say that their prank was even better, because of UFC President Dana White’s reaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cDana\u2019s \u2018Mr. Billy Baddass,\u2019 and you can\u2019t do anything to him. He definitely damn near sh-t on himself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
