Daniel Cormier was, to put it mildly, unimpressed with the news about Jon Jones yesterday.
The current UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion reacted angrily to the news about his rival’s inability to get licensed in Las Vegas next week after the Nevada State Athletic Commission revealed they would need a meeting to properly discuss Jones’ test abnormalities from last year.
Cormier took to his social media to blast Jones, USADA and others.
He tested positive again!

Keep the money, more stringent drug testing and no excuses or mishaps and I’ll give 125,000 to charity in Lafayette and 125,000 to a charity in San Jose. You just pay for the drug testing! #cheater https://t.co/RqtHv1r7Ra

Naturally, Jones wasn’t going to let those comments slide without some comebacks.
Meanwhile this exchange just happened on Daniel Cormier’s Instagram account after he posted about tonight’s news: pic.twitter.com/VT3luF5G0q

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that night. $150,000 to any charity in Lafayette if he accepts my challenge. Let’s see if his IG stops working again 😩 https://t.co/6LdQW9LfAU

It tickles my pickle when you call me a cheater, have you convinced yourself I cheated the first time too? https://t.co/yzOWenlkFJ
