The two had to be separated at the UFC 187 post-fight press conference after Cormier was asked about his in-cage speech, which focused only on Jon Jones.
“Joe Rogan, no disrespect to you or the 16,000 people in this arena, but I have a message for one man – Jon Jones, get your s**t together. I’m waiting for you!” Cormier yelled before storming out of the octagon.
Bader, who was sitting feet away from the live action, thought Cormier should turn his attention towards him, the man who he was supposed to fight in June before Jones was stripped of his title which allowed Cormier to slide into Saturday’s title tilt with Johnson for the vacant crown.
