Jones had barely gotten through his opening statement when Cormier broke in the first time. "You know what," Jones said. "First of all, I'd like to give an apology to the MGM Grand, all the fans ..."
"It's so fake!" a laughing Cormier interjected. "It's so fake!"
Jones continued with his version of Monday afternoon's events.
"Definitely not proud of what I did today," Jones said. "But, what happened was, we had a faceoff, and in he UFC, two athletes get very close in the faceoff, our heads touched, our nose rubbed together, it's a very intimate, very passionate moment for a lot of fighters (Cormier laughs). I've never actually had another fight put his hands on me by squeezing my throat. I reacted in self-defense by beating up Daniel."
Cormier again took a mocking tone with the champion before getting serious.
"I have actually never heard a fight being described as ‘intimate and passionate,'" Cormier said. "I have no idea what Jonny Jones is talking about.
