Cormier: Take a breath and lay off Jones
Daniel Cormier: “Jon is not on this ride alone, remember this man has a family. Let’s respect that.”
UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier saw his belt restored after the fight with Jon Jones at UFC 214 in July was declared No Contest, due to ‘Bones’ failing an anti-doping test for now the second time. While the investigation by the California State Athletic Commission and the US Anti-Doping Agency is far from complete, countless fans are done with Jones. However, in a recent message on his social network, DC requested people lay off Jones.
“Life can be such a roller coaster,” Cormier began. “I think sometimes you have to just take a moment and breathe it in. You never know what’s gonna come your way. You try and handle it the best way you can. One thing that has been amazing is the support from you the fans. I have never felt so much love. It’s crazy because this all happened when I lost.
“Guys now I call upon you to take a breath, lay off of Jones. Let him and his team figure out what’s going on and what happened. I was down and some may have kicked me but the majority of you showed compassion and love. After the fight Jones showed compassion, regardless of what has happened as humans we must show compassion. Jon is not on this ride alone, remember this man has a family. Let’s respect that. You don’t show your support for me by hurting others. Again I thank you for your unbelievable support and I trust that you guys will come thru again.”
