It was recently revealed that UFC star Jon Jones has failed both the A and B samples of his UFC 214 drug test. As a result, many fight fans have become heated with the mixed martial artist, sending the fighter angry messages over social media. Now, the fighter’s toughest rival has come forward to defend him.
Daniel Cormier recently took to Instagram to tell his fans to “lay off” the UFC light heavyweight star.
“Life can be such a roller coaster.” Cormier stated. “I think sometimes you have to just take a moment and breathe it in. You never know what’s gonna come your way. You try and handle it the best way you can. One thing that has been amazing is the support from you the fans.
“I have never felt so much love. It’s crazy because this all happened when I lost. Guys now I call upon you to take a breathe, lay off of Jones. Let him and his team figure out what’s going on and what happened. I was down and some may have kicked me but the majority of you showed compassion and love.
“After the fight Jones showed compassion, regardless of what has happened as humans we must show compassion. Jon is not on this ride alone, remember this man has a family. Let’s respect that. You don’t show ur support for me by hurting others. Again I thank you for ur unbelievable support and I trust that you guys will come thru again. DC ?@layziethesavage”
