Jones vs. Cormier 1 | Best Moments

anytime you have a text from lorenzo or dana you know it's like big news something's going on so i uh i called him back he said give him a call i called him back and he offered me this fight i actually was sitting next to you at ufc 148 and you guys had some words and i don't think a lot of people knew that you didn't like each other at the time what originally made that happen he just said a couple things like you know you look like you can wrestle go get cauliflower on the other side maybe you can get a takedown against me and my whole thing was it just came off so off-putting because he didn't know who i was true he dm'd you on twitter he did today he direct messaged me somehow i don't know how he did that he said i hope you're ready to come to daddy so i wrote back i am and i'm gonna beat you up he needs to be able to do everything he's a well-rounded fighter but it's pointless don't wrestle no matter what you do between now and that fight is gonna change the outcome of that department of the fight [Applause] and then when we got up front i guess in front of all the people you know you got a little hype and got in my face as me and daniel were walking towards each other i knew that it was going to be one of those face-offs when we got right into each other's faces he felt the need to karate chop me in the throat instinctually i reacted [Applause] i just think we both acted really immaturely up there you know i i think things just escalated way too fast so i definitely want to take the time to apologize to all my fans that i may have let down i wanted to apologize to mgm i'm not afraid of jon jones in any way shape or form so he's not going to come in there and try and bully me that's not gonna happen so yeah i push his ass get out of my face he's on twitter get some ice for your face i'm fine if that is the best you got he's in trouble he's in trouble please welcome the champion john bones jones [Music] i think this is a fight that a lot of people really want to see anytime you get two guys who's never lost i mean that's the story in itself i'm sure there's going to be a lot of drama and controversy coming up um but um yeah people are definitely interested in this fight and uh i don't think it's going to go anywhere well do you think you got under a skin i'm not exactly sure if that's a good thing rashad got under skin and got beat up but um i'm excited about fighting the best jon jones that there is so if i had to kind of prod him a little bit to get him to train harder and be more committed then so be it january 3rd i can't wait to fight him yeah i'm definitely fired up i'm sure he's fired up and you'll see that come january 3rd and still and anew we got dana here today so it's not going to get too crazy we'll see how that goes and i'm just going to say something too because he can't get the last word damn danny you want to move out of the way for me for a second what's that right all right big boy oh there you are all right what's up man how are you doing that's funny yeah no you got to tell me your whole question cause i was looking for you the whole time are you guys done are you guys done are you done yet oh you're done i'm glad you won this one because you're not winning the next time i get my hands on i whoops your asses now if you can bring a dog fight to me please do it there's nothing you can do to stop me daniel cormier expect very malicious violent things to happen hey are you still there i actually admire that you can actually be this fake in like when the tv comes on how you can just change thank you you're the scum of the earth you are a terrible human being but you can sure turn it on john can you hear that john when i found out i was fighting jon jones i was like finally i won 15 fights every round i fought in my career i've won there's a level of intensity attached to this fight that is really unprecedented he actually thinks we got into a fight yesterday i don't understand that i didn't count that wasn't an actual but you you beat me up good job champ you're an idiot shut up you're an idiot he told me on an interview i'm gonna do very violent and malicious things to you there's nothing you can do to stop me daniel cormier expect very malicious violent things to happen at 27 years old he's the number one pound-for-pound fighter a lot of people knock him for being you know short with tubby i don't you're a little fat that tubby buddy made it to the olympics he got to wrestle division one this is not the first time i've bought a guy who seems stylistically my worst matchup i'm used to making guys who seem amazing not look that good what a fight i'm better than him at wrestling he ain't taking me now i'm gonna take him now let's see how he deals with that daniel cormier is a sensational wrestler he also has lightning fast hands legit one punch knockout power i'm glad he thinks that that that's a thing he has over me i'll let him keep thinking that all right i'm here live with daniel cormier jon jones welcome via satellite i've been in many steer downs and i've never had my throat grabbed and the guy grabbed my throat and uh i had to kind of stand my ground and let him know that i won't put up with nonsense like that so yeah i think i would do it again so you did not expect him to drop his belt and start throwing punches well i mean i don't know i just didn't expect him to touch me from the get-go you know we do stare down right he's been in a number of stair-downs but uh he didn't have to touch me i wasn't there to be touched i was there to do it it was fun photo a photo opportunity and uh john just actually took it too far i'm gonna push that man to a place that he's never been in his entire life and i will make jon jones quit sunday morning joe rogan you will wake up and you will say how daniel make this look so easy where he has a tremendous wrestling experience i have tremendous championship experience i feel great and uh you guys are going to see that what are you doing pop i'm driving my truck is it a cool truck it's a truck just like daddy's isn't it yeah i'm so excited i mean it's something i've been waiting for since i started mma yeah yeah and i've always wanted to be the ufc champion but the opportunity to be the ufc champion while fighting the number one pompom fighter in the world i mean it doesn't get much better than that the only way to settle it is to to duke it out you know when i was a kid you know me and my cousins would just fight all the time and argue eventually someone will put some boxing gloves on us and make us fight and that's that's what's happening with john and i bam bam bam i like that you know pages of notes you know me and uncles just have studied him you know several times and pretty much every time we watch the fight we find a new combination that could land or should land and we kind of perfect them i feel like i was just here yesterday with the unstoppable 20 fight win streak glover to share now we got the 15 fight win streak and daniel cormier cheers my friend cheers to victory to victory to team jones baby cheers to you guys daniel cormier is very special he's one of those unusual characters who grows when he steps into a fighting arena roy jones jr used to do it as a boxer i was on the olympic wrestling team in 2004 and 2008 i was top five in the world four times i got a bronze medal at the world championships in 2007. i love that kane trains so hard as a heavyweight these guys look like they know what it takes to be the best daniel cormier finishes patrick cummins just like that this one's different man this is the one that you kind of prepare for for i mean since day one time to get down to business you know it's all real but after you get everything together it's time to go try to win a championship who's the bad guy dan ganjon who's the bad guy mama don't and then dad's gonna be what we just landed in vegas about to pull up at the mkm brand love getting there during fight week man it's uh the environment it's just a big fight feel the moment you step foot into the empty brain beautiful las vegas man i haven't fought here since i fought i think ryan bader or somebody i'm not sure it's been a long time was it baiter it's been a long time last time i was here i beat an undefeated wrestleman ryan bader there's batman and then there was catman [Music] i'm fast i'm pretty it can't possibly be as long as i got my suit entire ready y'all ready we'll get a look at you in here because you're the subject after all it's good to have you both via skype how you feeling now towards dc can you not wait to get the octagon against this guy man to be honest i can't wait to get in the octagon with him i can't wait to go out there and win this fight and do what i got to do well i think what helps is that we're here i believe that this fight for me is bigger than daniel cormier it's it's about what i set out to do a long time ago and that's be the greatest of all time gentlemen hey to me it to me it sounds like to me it sounds like he just believes everything that you know i was a kid that was that was broken i was a kid that got beat on a lot i was a kid that got bullied a lot i needed something i needed something to change my thought process and wrestling was that and all of a sudden i had gotten comfortable wrestling freestyle i won the u.s nationals and i was on the olympic team the following year nobody knows what i can do inside of the octagon until we get locked in the cage it doesn't matter how good he is i just have to try and be me do what i do best and uh i'll keep doing this and he's holding his belt i'll keep pulling at it pulling at it pulling at it till eventually he'll say go ahead shake the blue stretch it out john guys thanks for having me here i'm excited to work out with you guys it's been a long time since i've been to an official wrestle wrestling practice so don't make fun of me if i look a little goofy my freshman year wrestling my record was 5 and 35. i got my butt whooped i was never the strongest never the fastest never had the best physique [Music] jon jones is not going to realize what it's like to have dc on top he's never felt anything like that you got to keep bringing all these kids that way you can hit those and you're gonna come in off them you're gonna make them think about everything there you go why cruise control babies fight more [Applause] [Music] [Music] magic do you remember when you like just were solo like look at all these people that's kind of nice huh yeah i'm like dripping out the legs there [ __ ] zero hours about honest there is no doubt in my mind that i'm gonna win this fight on saturday i mean i know that the guy's good i know he's great but i'm prepared man i've prepared a lifetime for this i'm ready to go ladies and gentlemen luke rockhold john jones six four can't dunk a basketball so who's the athlete really focused on the fans [Laughter] yeah if you want to yeah yeah that's probably just for me the big deal is can john get up again and do it again at this level where if you make a mistake it can cost you the whole fight stopped your level you know i mean what i should what i was gonna do and just was just that oh i don't know that he wasn't i was just trust you man i hear that back in the wrestling days you know he's the guy who's used to fake injuries he's the guy who's to cry at practice he's the guy who's quit so many times [Applause] what was it like up there uh it was i mean it was it was it was uh it was okay i guess i had to actually i swear to god to fight my hands not to just grab him by the neck and choke his ass again glad you were talking i'm glad you're talking yeah yeah you'll be talking saturday though hey when i'm beating your ass saturday show me on saturday with myself hey show me myself you suck don't run from me little guy i'm ready the more you weigh jon jones the worse it's going to get because i'm going to continue to get better you should have got me a year ago because now i'm not sure you have any chance at all actually me getting that title shot i think it was fast but i was also very active you know in 2011 i fought about four times and i felt like it was fast but i felt like i was up for the challenge i was definitely nervous backstage i'd say but at the same time they were good nerves you know i i really knew that it was my time i really knew that that was the fight catching with an uppercut kind of stalk and walk them down catch them with a body hook switch to a left knee boom the testimonies that dreams came from true guys they really can't believe in yourselves with your heart and once you get there don't sit down it comes true ufc fans it's great to be back in las vegas as we welcome you to the official weigh-ins for ufc 182 jones versus cormier here is joe rogan [Applause] what's up my friends welcome to the weigh-in there's a guy on my mind i'm going to be the champion you think i'm just going to sit there and let you kill me can you hear that john daniel insulted me and really doing his best to piss me off it's work this is an opportunity to shine and he wants to go down as the greatest fighter the sport has ever known the strike force heavyweight crossbreed champion danielle cormier [Applause] [Music] 205 205 for the challenger [Applause] 205 205 for the champion you know what man i'm just gonna stay undefeated you know it's very telling that these people cheer for me and they don't even like me they just hate jon jones man i'm just confident you know what i mean i uh i definitely have plans on doing great things and i know doing great things never come easy so i'm not expecting this to be an easy challenge uh but i'm excited about it because i do believe i'll end up victorious so i love it good luck to you sir the best part that i get the best uh the hardest fight that i have that i've been through is the dc you know inspiring so just being able to push each other make each other better daniel's asked me to show him a couple of things that are unusual and i will do that let's see how it goes please turn that off what's up yeah i mean you you you know very well what could happen if he does one of those right why are you walking away man she couldn't get on me yesterday we were coming down the hallway and it looked like the scene out of the good bad the ugly you know what i mean tumbleweed [Applause] [Music] and his opponent ufc light heavyweight champion of the world [Applause] all right guys i feel like right now is the moment i mean i'm close as i can be i can almost feel the belt in my hands tonight i'm gonna go out there and pose my will on john and become the ufc champ it's a great talker i can't wait to just put my fist in his mouth and shut him up once and for all happy new year ufc fans around the world and welcome to beautiful las vegas nevada what this represents is the highest level competition we have ever seen inside the octagon and daniel cormier is one of the very best wrestlers who has ever competed in mixed martial arts he is spectacular daniel cormier the two-time olympian with the world-class pedigree in wrestling it's as nasty as he gets yep he has fought bigger guys [Music] [Applause] the youngest champion in ufc history at the age of 23 [Applause] [Music] look at the difference in reach 12 inch reach advantage for jon jones [Applause] protect yourself at all times follow my instructions you're gonna have a clean fight you can touch gloves at this time if you wish [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] by good kick by jones that one looks significant those elbows are so nasty they're so sharp well he's just so oh nice kick bike dc looking to trip that back leg is just so hard to reach it john's so tall wow good take down defense by jones cormier 86 jones 81 plus that one big kick by john that's how close this fight truly is second takedown against cormier in his career this ultimate grudge match goes the distance john just raises his arms up and then left hooks daniel because the fight had not ended yet but daniel hit him after the buzzer see what this shirt says ivory box it says i'm broken maybe this team is unbroken let's go baby and still take them down i think that's like i don't know five takedowns to zero i'm sorry they don't that i'm being classless right now i do not like dc and this is why i'm being this way one thing that you cannot deny is that i outgrinded him i outworked him as simple as that i out wrestled him i outworked him i beat him at what he was good at and uh feels good um honestly you know i know it's always nice to be a class act after a victory but i really hope he's somewhere crying you know and i'm sure he is and yeah i mean jon jones it's just so hard for me because jon jones is so young and has so many more things to accomplish but he's he's beat the who's who he's cleaned out the division he's breaking records um and if this continues yeah the question is what happens to a guy when he gets into deep water it's fun being a fighter when you're the guy kicking everybody's ass but when you start getting some back that's when you find out you know who's a real champion and jon jones has proven it twice i don't know i don't know uh i don't know how to judge a fight so you know i know i lost and john one that's pretty much all it boils down to it doesn't matter if it's closer or if it's if it's uh if it's if it's not you know he won the fight it's not gonna this is not gonna ruin me you know one way or the other i'm gonna stand across the cage from that man again and uh i believe just as i did tonight and i'll take the fight to him again i guess because your dream got cut short and you had a kid and you had to give up wrestling doesn't mean that you can't wrestle with these great wrestlers so we had a chip in our show there and our goal was to go out there have faith in our wrestling and to take him down you know i watched him hold my boy frank mir against the cage and i was just like i see what you're doing there and just watching my opponents so much i start to subconsciously inherit their talent and their gifts working in the desert man in order to hang out in the desert you got to be tough the animals that live in the desert are tough the plants that survive in the desert are tough my boy cowboy here is a bad bullfold once i realized that he let his guard down i snuck in two punches before the bill rang after the bell ring he snuck in a few punches i don't think any of them hit me he almost hit her dean and that's why i gave him the second sign because he tried to hit me after the bell you know sometimes it feels like it's me against the world and it's me against my division but at the end of the day the other day it's me against one person one guy at a time fortunately i get several weeks and several months to know who i'm fighting and prepare for them and i'll keep taking them down one guy at a time
