UFC light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier spent months explaining that he wasn't going to allow Jon Jones to get into his head leading up to their Apr. 23 main event rematch at UFC 197.
Cormier maintains the reason he lost a five-round unanimous decision to Jones at UFC 182 was that he became too emotionally invested in the bout. He believes the personal animosity between he and Jones cost him the fight and vowed to make the rematch a competition between professional athletes.
Well, that noble stance seemed to start breaking down the second the pair came face to face March 4 at the UFC's "Unstoppable" press conference event in Las Vegas, Nevada.
