Cormier-Jones exchange harsh words after ESPN appearance

August 9, 2014 by Jason Cruz 14 Comments

MMA Junkie reports on the “behind the scenes” verbal sparring between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier after their appearance on ESPN’s Sportscenter. As many know, the two had a big dustup last week at the UFC media event at the MGM Grand.

The video shows Jones and Cormier in different studios after their appearance on Sportscenter when Jones starts a verbal fight with Cormier.  Cormier responds and quickly escalates to Jones threatening to kill Cormier.

Payout Perspective:

Does the additional venom perk your interest in this PPV? While there are skeptics that might argue the verbal sparring between the two may be produced (and its definitely edited), the amount of attention for this fight has grown. The question is whether or not the UFC, Jones and Cormier can continue this frenzy until September 27th.

    This whole altercation has definitely sparked interest amongst casuals. Reminds me of the way boxing was hyping fights in the 90’s. But In the end… not so good for MMA in general. It’s unfortunate that the UFC wants to have it both ways; Condemning this behaviour while at the same time reveling in it… they are looking like quite the hypocrites at the moment.
