Daniel Cormier is clarifying the matter with respect to Jon Jones. During a segment of the UFC 318 Weight-in Show, Cormier was asked where he would like to fight his “enemy” if he could, And the former two division champion said he would like to do it at home because “I want to have the ability to kill him.”
Jones, in a couple of eliminated tweets, replied saying that he had “buried” Cormier in the octagon twice, that he had a “mansion” in Cormier's head and that the “beatings” that Jones gave Cormier in his two fights were the “most painful things that happened” in the life of his rival.
Cormier said he never mentioned the name of Jones, So he doesn't understand why Jones responded in the way he did.
“Obviously, when you deal with someone like that, it is immediately enraged. (Jones tweeted his answer), it is not true. I never said that I would like to kill him in my house …
Lately, many behaviors make many people laugh at him, but not with him. (Jones tweet over me), there is much to analyze. First, my work is to talk about the most important themes of sport. So I can't omit that when talking about Jon Jones due to our history. No, in fact, due to our history, people want my opinion about what is happening with Jon Jones more than anyone. So I give my opinion as part of my work.
I can't let anyone tell me that at this point in my life there is nothing we can do. We will no longer fight. There is nothing we can do.
After Cormier gave his response in the program, the presenter Dan Hellie asked if the name of the person brought with something that sounded similar to that of Jones. Cormier laughed, but still did not mention the name of Jones.
In fact, Cormier claims to have asked many unconventional questions in that program, It often gives unconventional answers, including this. But it was the most painful comment of Jones's tweets that really left Cormier bewildered.
“Only an unsafe person would immediately think that 'he is talking about me. No, maybe not. But maybe yes. Don't know. But, I repeat, I didn't say any name on purpose …
It was horrible to lose. And it hurt much more in 2017. Today it doesn't hurt. Eight years have passed. I don't cling to that. In addition, you cannot say that you are the most painful in someone's life when he loses a child. It is the greatest madness in the world … that will kill his father. He knows it, but you are dealing with a different human being.
