Daniel Cormier has responded to the latest diss from his long-time rival, former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.<\/p>\n

Jones and Cormier, widely regarded as two of the best fighters of all time, have met twice previously. They first met in January, 2015, with Jones winning by decision. In their second meeting, which occurred in 2017, Jones knocked Cormier out, but the result was overturned when he failed a drug test.<\/p>\n

Despite the years since their last meeting, there’s still quite a bit of lingering animosity between Jones and Cormier, as evidenced by their recent skirmish on social media.<\/p>\n

The trouble seemingly began when Cormier suggested<\/a> that Jones doesn’t have the power to knock people out at heavyweight.<\/p>\n

\u201cJon Jones will not knockout anybody (at heavyweight),” Cormier said on\u00a0DC & Helwani<\/a>.<\/em> “He doesn\u2019t hit hard enough. If he couldn\u2019t knock these dudes out at 205, he\u2019s not knocking these heavyweight out.”<\/p>\n

That comment from Cormier prompted a response from Jones, who reminded Cormier what happened the second time they met in the Octagon.<\/p>\n
