Jones has apparently sought out Cormier’s comments, taking to social media to draw a public outcry.<\/p>\n
High school state champ, JUCO national champ, youngest UFC champion, greatest in MMA history. A lifetime of loss, victories and sacrifice and this guy wants to write it all off as steroids. Honestly, it\u2019s insulting. But I can\u2019t help but laugh, knowing it was God given abilities\u2026<\/p>\n

I do know Dana was really excited about the fight, and the door hasn\u2019t been completely closed. That\u2019s all a guy like me really needs. It sounds like another awesome goal to be inspired by.”<\/p>\n Jones added he expects things to calm down in the coming months, however.<\/p>\n Jul 16, 2025; Hollywood, CA, USA; Jon Jones poses on the ESPYs red carpet at the Dolby Theatre.

It was Jones’ only title defense after moving up to heavyweight, as he won the vacant heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in March 2023 after a dominant run at light heavyweight for the better part of eight years.<\/p>\n Stick with\u00a0MMAKnockout<\/a>\u00a0for more\u00a0FREE coverage\u00a0of the UFC, MMA, Boxing.
