Daniel Cormier isn’t impressed by how Jon Jones comported himself after Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Justin Gaethje at UFC 254.<\/p>\n

Heading into that card, Jones and Nurmagomedov had long stood out as the top two pound-for-pound fighters in the UFC, with Jones holding the No. 1 spot in the rankings and Nurmagomedov sitting at No. 2.\u00a0After Nurmagomedov defeated Gaethje by submission in the UFC 254 main event, however, he was promoted to the No. 1 spot\u2014and Jones was not happy about that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m talking to all you Khabib fans out there,\u201d Jones wrote on Twitter after Nurmagomedov’s win. \u201cFifteen world titles to your guy\u2019s four. And you guys really talking about who\u2019s the best fighter ever? You guys are joking, right? Fifteen to four, are you guys kidding me?\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on MMA Junkie Radio<\/a> recently, Cormier, a long-time training partner of Nurmagomedov and two-time Jones opponent, weighed in<\/a> on this topic.<\/p>\n

“I think sometimes we, as athletes, we all have egos,\u201d Cormier began. \u201cWe all have massive egos. And active competitors don\u2019t like the spotlight to stray too far away from them, and that\u2019s why you get that sometimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cGive the guy his time,” Cormier continued. “Let the guys have their moment. We have been blessed with so many moments, moments that people are hoping to have just one. \u2026 We need to really sometimes take a step to the side and understand it can be about the other guy for one night. It doesn\u2019t have to be about him the whole time, but give him his time, especially when they have performances like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the biggest case of that recently was when Khabib was the man and then Jones just kind of lost his mind,\u201d Cormier added. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t about him, so he lost his mind. This guy just had a great performance under the circumstances \u2013 lost his father \u2013 now everybody is like, \u2018This guy\u2019s the best.\u2019 OK, for years people have been saying (Jones) is the best. It should not offend (him) to the point that you feel like you have to go on this tangent and answer pretty much every single tweet.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you answer every tweet sent to you when you have that many followers? I just think sometimes you gotta let go of your ego, read the room, pick your time, and do those things in those moments that are necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n
