"None. Jones doesn't have a platform and I refuse to give him a platform. He's a nobody. He has been suspended again. He's mired in controversy for drug abuse. Your issues are tied to steroids, performance enhancers. You don't get a platform when you're like that. It's like me glorifying Lance Armstrong."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1015870357838934016
"Maybe we're living in my world now. So I dictate the rules. Plus I just really don't like Jones. So, I'll never give him a platform."Cormier played down the possibility of completing his trilogy with Jones for the heavyweight championship. Presently, the series stands at one win for Jones and one No Contest. Jones scored a unanimous decision victory over DC at UFC 183 while his knockout win at UFC 214 was overturned due to the failed drug test.
"I would if he's around, but I don't know if he's going to be around. Honestly,at this point, does he even deserve it? All these fights... I hold the cards now. He may have won the fights, but I hold the cards. I am the one that competed, I went up and did something that you were not going to do, I went and fought the baddest man on the planet, the most successful heavyweight champion of all time, a great guy, a great champion, a guy that does everything the right way - and I won. I don't know if that's going to happen."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1015938301621129217
"Brock's gotta be clean, man. I'm not going to fight him if he's not clean. We'll do USADA testing and we'll do other testing. We'll do testing above USADA to make sure the man's clean because I'm not going to fight him if he's cheating. I've done that on a number of ocassions already. I don't want to fight him if he's dirty, man. Do it the right way." "You've kind of put me in a hard position. I can't really say much in terms of USADA because USADA's been great to me. I've been in this testing programme since 2001. But, when you watch boxing, sometimes the guys do USADA testing and they do independent testing. I just want him tested all the time. He's going to be getting tested, even if I've got to pay for it. We'll get him tested as often as we need to just to make sure he's clean."Jon Jones dropped the mic after he called out Lesnar at UFC 214. He must be absolutely raging now.
