UFC 210 ended with light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier successfully defending his belt from KO artist Anthony “Rumble” Johnson. Directly after submitting the top contender, Cormier made sure Jon Jones and Jimi Manuwa knew what the score is.
KO artist Jimi Manuwa is climbing the light heavyweight ranks, as he stands at No. 3 in the division. Former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has a history with Daniel Cormier, being the only fighter to ever defeat him.
With Jon Jones nearing the end of his suspension, the former champion is likely looking to snag another shot at the title fairly soon. Jimi Manuwa is looking to make his mark in a championship fight as well.
All of this in mind, Cormier has guided his focus to both fighters. Following his brief words with Jimi Manuwa from the octagon at UFC 210, the two fighters have spiraled into a lengthy Twitter war. Monday’s Twitter warfare can be found below.
@dc_mma take the fight Daniel.
