Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier’s latest social media beef continues to pick up steam.<\/p>\n
This latest skirmish began when Jon Jones divulged that he hopes to fight Daniel Cormier twice more<\/a> before all is said and done: once to reclaim the light heavyweight title, and once to swipe Cormier’s new heavyweight belt.<\/p>\n \u201cMy vision is fighting him at light heavyweight first,\u201d Jon Jones said in a recent interview with\u00a0RT Sport<\/a>\u00a0(transcript via\u00a0MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cI think that beating him a third time would really do something to his confidence. In his head, I feel like he thinks he can still beat me, especially because the fight was going fairly well until I knocked him out. I want to crush his confidence\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cLeading into our fourth fight, a possible fourth fight for the heavyweight championship of the world, his confidence won\u2019t be in the right spot,\u201d Jones concluded. \u201cIt won\u2019t, and I think it will help me take that fourth victory over him and that heavyweight championship from him. I think I have his number.\u201d<\/p>\n From there, Daniel Cormier promptly responded, reminding the world that Jon Jones failed a drug test when they last fought, and calling the former champion a cheater.<\/p>\n Big goals for a guy that could only achieve them after he finishes getting disciplined for his 3rd drug failure! I mean jeez this guy #Cheater<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/Kfuki7qRCM<\/a><\/p>\n — Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) September 4, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
