Just days before they fought for the second time in the Octagon, Daniel Cormier said he believed Jon Jones tried to cheat by using performance-enhancing drugs.
During their pre-fight press conference for UFC 214, Cormier shared his feeling towards Jones and said he feels like he tried to cheat.
“The other day Jon about cried on the (media) call because I accused him of using steroids,” Cormier said. “But if I do feel like he tried to cheat, yeah, I do. Why can I not say what I feel? I can say whatever I want. If I believe it in my heart, then I will say it. And yes, I do believe he has done it. For a long time.”
On Tuesday, it was revealed Jones tested positive for a banned substance from a sample taken just one day before his second fight with Cormier. Jones went on to win the fight by knockout in the third round.
