Daniel Cormier Reveals Heartfelt Message from Jon Jones Amid Rivalry

The storied rivalry between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones is etched into UFC history as one of the most intense and bitter feuds the sport has ever seen. But beyond the heated exchanges and fierce battles in the cage, a personal moment has emerged, revealing a different side to their relationship. Cormier recently shared a heartfelt message sent by Jones during one of the darkest periods of his life, showcasing a rare glimpse of mutual respect between the two legends.

Cormier Opens Up About Jon Jones’s Personal Message

Speaking on Henry Cejudo’s Triple C YouTube channel, Cormier reflected on how their rivalry evolved into an unexpected connection during times of personal loss:

“When my father passed, he sent me a message, he really did, and even in that moment, I appreciated that,” Cormier shared.

For all their animosity, the gesture stood out to Cormier:

“For all that we’ve been through, I appreciated him sending me that message as I sent that message for his mother because we understand what family is,” he added.

Cormier revealed that Jones reached out again after another tragic event. “He did send me a message when my mother passed, and my father passed. There’s good in that dude. There really is. I just ain’t really had the opportunity to see it, but we’ll see what time brings.”

A Rivalry That Defined an Era

The animosity between Jones and Cormier remains one of MMA’s most iconic rivalries. From their infamous brawl at the MGM Grand lobby to their heated exchanges during press conferences, their feud was as personal as it was professional.

Inside the cage, the rivalry produced two unforgettable matchups, with Jones emerging victorious both times. Despite the outcomes, both fighters walked away with newfound respect for each other, even if it wasn’t always openly expressed.

Cormier’s recent comments highlight how, even in the midst of such a heated rivalry, moments of humanity can shine through. The personal messages from Jones offered a rare glimpse of mutual understanding, built on shared experiences of loss and family.

Looking Beyond the Feud

While the rivalry between Cormier and Jones has settled, Jones’s latest feud is heating up with Tom Aspinall. The interim heavyweight champion has been vocal in his campaign for a shot at Jones’s undisputed title, taking every opportunity to make his case.
