Daniel Cormier beat everyone else in MMA besides Jon Jones and one of those times Jon Jones was high on cocaine, so I can see why that would bother him.
Jones understands as well.
He explained the dilemma to SI, but hopes they can be friends one day.
“I haven’t spoken to him since the fight. I would imagine deep down he doesn’t like me still. I mean this fight meant everything to him … this is his life’s work and the fans are so brutal. They put his whole athletic career on this one fight. It’s like dude you never really were because you couldn’t beat the number one guy. And so I know it has to be hard for him to be listening to kind of the fans and there’s been so many memes that I’ve been seeing on the internet of him crying and stuff like that so I’m sure that he has some type of sore feelings when it comes to me.”
“I would love to be at a place with him where we can respect each other, work together, I can show up to his charity events in the future, same he can do for me. You know I would love to have that, you know, open communication with him. We’ve been part of each other’s lives for two years, you know he’s been the only thing I’ve talked about for two years and vice versa. I feel connected to him forever, it’d be nice to be able to call him up and check on him here or there.”
It would be nice if these two brothers could find some middle ground, but we just have to see how receptive Cormier is to the olive branch.
