Recently, UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier put former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones on blast<\/a> ahead of their July 29th rematch at UFC 214 for the undisputed light heavyweight title.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the fight, Cormier made some controversial statements on ‘The Herd with Colin Cowherd’ as he proclaimed that he believes Jon Jones was forced to fight PED-free for the first time<\/a> when he fought Ovince Saint Preux:<\/p>\n

\"DC\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI do believe that we will see a different fighter in Anaheim, because I do believe he has to be clean this time. Otherwise, he\u2019ll be caught. And that\u2019s why he got caught last time. I think he fought Ovince Saint Preux clean, and didn\u2019t like the way he felt, and tried to do something again dirty, and got caught at UFC 200.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jones fired back on social media, saying:<\/p>\n

“Imagine having so much power over a man that he thinks your abilities are supernatural,” Jones wrote. “The difference between you and I. I’ve punished the motherfuckers I thought were on steroids. You protect your pride with lies.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
