While everyone has UFC 196 on their minds thanks to all the shit that’s been going on between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz, UFC 197 is only a month away and it looks as if things could get really fucking ugly between the two headlining fighters, Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones.
That is, if today’s press conference featuring both fighters is any indication of what’s to come—and I have a feeling it is.
According to Cormier, he calls bullshit on Jones’ “good guy” imagine, claiming that his opponent called him the “biggest pussy he’s ever met” and to “suck his dick.” And Jones didn’t back down when put on blast about it.
Check this out, via TMZ Sports:

The two argued back-and-forth during the media event in Vegas today to promote UFC 196, and, while I don’t want to overlook McGregor-Diaz tomorrow, I’m itching to see Cormier and Jones take things into the Octagon even more after this recent dust-up.
