The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held the UFC Summer Kickoff Press Conference yesterday. The event served to inform the fans of the mixed martial arts promotion’s many events coming this summer.
Many of the summer’s top competitors joined in for the occasion. The fighters attended the event to answer questions and to commit to a quick staredown with their opponents. Two of the fighters present for the event were Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier.
The bad blood between former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones and reigning champion Daniel Cormier began to boil as the event ensued. The fighters began participating in some heated trash talking that seems to have spilled over onto social media.
Jon “Bones” Jones and Daniel Cormier can be seen going at it over Twitter after the conclusion of yesterday’s UFC Summer Kickoff Press Conference. For the full exchange, see the tweets below.
What will your answer be when your kids ask how were you the toughest man in the world without beating Jon Jones?
