UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier ejected a Jon Jones’ fan from his open workout.
On Thursday, the UFC held open workouts for UFC 214, which takes place July 29 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
While doing his workout, Cormier did his best to be a fan favorite. While his upcoming opponent, Jones, only signed autographs and talked to the media, Cormier promised to do everything Jones did plus do a workout in front of everyone.
While Cormier was talking, he started getting heckled by a fan of Jones. The UFC champion responded by having that fan kicked out of the building.
Cormier will defend his championship against Jones in the main event of UFC 214.
This will be Cormier’s third title defense. He has previously defended his championship by defeating Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Johnson.
Jones is the only fighter to ever defeat Cormier inside the Octagon. In 2015, Jones defended his title by winning a decision against Cormier.
