Jones responds to Cormier PED speculation
Jon Jones: “The difference between you and I. I’ve punished the motherf@$%ers I thought were on steroids. You protect your pride with lies.”
UFC light heavyweight Alexander Gustafsson said he believed that former division champion Jon Jones was taking performance enhancing drugs when they fought at UFC 165 on September 21, 2013. Jones responded angrily on Twitter.
Division champion Daniel Cormier made similar allegations recently, although he stopped short of saying Jones was doping when they fought. Again, Jones has responded via Twitter.
“Imagine having so much power over a man that he thinks your abilities are supernatural,” wrote Jones. “The difference between you and I. I’ve punished the motherf***ers I thought were on steroids. You protect your pride with lies.”

And that was the end of it. NO IT WASN’T.
“U are right u punish cheaters,” replied Cormier. “U took no pity on urself did you. U constantly punish urself lol. I punish you next. I’ll give u a break lol.”

Expect this to continue right up to their fight in the main event of UFC 214: Cormier vs. Jones 2 on July 29, 2017 at Honda Center in Anaheim, California. And beyond.
If injury or some other calamity doesn’t cancel the fight again.
