Daniel Cormier Rejects Jon Jones Truce, Leaves Door Open Only for Wrestling or Boxing

The UFC Hall of Famer says past animosity, including cheating allegations, means cordiality without friendship.

Overview

  • Cormier told The Ariel Helwani Show he will not be friends with Jones, saying he can be polite around him but has no interest in reconciliation.
  • The rivals recently reunited as opposing coaches on ALF Reality 3 in Thailand, which rekindled tensions during and after filming.
  • Jones publicly called Cormier vulgar names and alleged poor treatment of others on set; Cormier replied that their feud included family insults and what he calls constant cheating.
  • Cormier questioned Jones’s ability to be a selfless coach, praising Khabib Nurmagomedov as a contrasting example of putting athletes first.
  • Cormier said he would consider a one-off wrestling match—predicting a 10-0 result—or a boxing bout if the payday is massive, adding that no matchup is currently arranged.
