Jon Jones\u2019s archrival, Daniel Cormier<\/a>, believes \u2018Bones\u2019 is done competing in MMA and, therefore, he intentionally leaked that his left hip is covered in arthritis and already qualifies for a hip replacement.<\/p>\n

For context, a video of Jones talking about a medical condition that he is suffering from made rounds on the Internet. Jones, however, later claimed that the news about his severe hip arthritis was never meant to become public. The former two-division UFC champ alleged that a private conversation was secretly recorded and leaked online by someone wearing Meta glasses<\/p>\n

Jones torched the leaker of the video. In an interview with The Schmo, he quipped:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true, I have arthritis, and the kid that leaked that was an absolute a****le. I was talking to some guys confidentially, and he had one of those Meta glasses on, like myself, and he ended up posting that. That wasn\u2019t for everybody to hear, but that\u2019s how life works.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jon Jones also added that Dana White and Co. are aware of the medical issues he is suffering from, and that will not stop him from competing at the White House <\/a>on June 14.<\/p>\n

Daniel Cormier, however, thinks Jones is done with MMA.<\/p>\n

Daniel Cormier says \u201cJon Jones doesn\u2019t have anything left.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a recent YouTube video<\/a>, Daniel Cormier opined that Jon Jones is hurt and has serious hip issues. Hence, \u2018Bones\u2019 has nothing more to offer to MMA fans. \u2018DC\u2019 also added that it is very easy to figure out if someone is recording with Meta glasses on, and Jones wanted the information about his injury to be made public, and therefore spoke about his medical issues to the kid, who Jones later alleged had secretly filmed him. Cormier said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very easy to tell if you\u2019re being recorded with the Meta glasses. They got a white light on the side of the glasses the moment they start recording. How could he [Jon Jones] have missed that?\u201d<\/p>\n

He added:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Jon Jones knew what he was doing, I think he wanted people to know he\u2019s injured\u2026 I believe Jon Jones is hurt. That was the video that made me believe that Jon Jones doesn\u2019t have anything left.\u201d<\/p>\n
