Jones spoke about the incident and explained his behavior in an interview with Fox Sports later in the night:

“You know what, it wasn’t even me and Daniel Cormier,it was just me being a jerk. I wanted to give him the finger, I don’t know why. I don’t know what he said, he was commentating throughout my fight and he may have been really nice and now I’m a jerk, or he could have been talking trash. Either way, I wanted to cover my end so that’s why I said; you know what I said.”
