It has been one of the most heated rivalries the UFC has ever seen. Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and current light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier appear to have an utter hate for one another. The two erupted into a physical confrontation at a press conference ahead of their fight at UFC 182 back in 2015 and you can bet UFC President Dana White was nervous as they faced off recently at the “UFC Unstoppable” presser. With their rematch scheduled to take place at UFC 197 on April 23rd, the two are still as competitive with one another as the last time around. However, Jones has a respect for Cormier and revealed to ‘Tiki and Tierney on CBS Sports Radio‘ that he holds no hatred for his opponent (transcribed by Mixed Martial Arts).

Apparently Jon Jones has spent his entire career partying and on some sort of substances. “Bones” has been widely considered the pound-for-pound best fighter in the game and many people have talked about Jones already being the best MMA fighter in history. What will he be able to accomplish completely sober?
