It looks like the beef between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones is not going to end soon. Both the legendary UFC heavyweights have a long history of feud brewing among them. While the duo fought a couple of bouts previously, Jones came out victorious on both the occasions. However, due to a positive drug test, Jones was disqualified and DC got handed over one of the victories. Now then, after so many years, Jones has claimed that he can still beat Cormier. But DC is not ready to entertain the chaos.
Jon Jones recently stated that he will be willingly to fight Cormier and also be able to defeat him. Reacting to the same, the former champ champ stated that he did not want to engage. Instead, Cormier took a dig at his former foe and asked him to fight Tom Aspinall instead.
“I’m retired. I’m done. I’m 46… How about you fight the dude that’s actually waiting to fight you – Tom Aspinall,” said Cormier.

Surely, Cormier seems to have hit a nerve here. Afterall, the entire UFC realm is waiting for a faceoff between Jones and Aspinall for a long time. Meanwhile, coming back to Jones and Cormier, DC recently turned down a fight offer in Thailand.

Daniel Cormier was recently offered the position of a coach in a reality TV series. As per DC, the offer was made by ‘ALF Reality’ in Thailand. The show was supposed to be carried out in the ‘TUF’ style. And although the offer initially did not involve a fight, Cormier did not seem interested.
“I can’t do a month in Thailand, opposite side Jon Jones… Especially when I can’t fight that dude no more,” said Cormier.
