Off camera exchange, including death threat by Jon Jones
Jon Jones: I would literally kill you if you spit in my face. Literally kill you. I’m not saying I would fight you, I’m saying I would kill you if you did some stupid s–t like that.
On Tuesday Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier appeared on Sportscenter following a brawl at the UFC 178 media conference. The on-air exchange was back and forth verbal jabs, but apparently when the cameras went off, but not the mics, things got heated:
Jones: Hey p—y, are you still there?
Cormier: I’m here. You are just the fakest person! I actually admire that you can be this fake and when the TV comes on you can just change. You’re like a chameleon. It’s awesome. It’s unbelievable.
Jones: Hey, I’m a professional. The fact that you’re a p–y hasn’t changed.
Cormier: It’s unbelievable just how fake you can be! You’re such a f—–g p—y! My god! It is amazing! But hats off to you, you got a great PR person. They do a great job training you, because you are just terrible. You’re the f—–g scum of the earth. You’re a terrible human being, but you can sure turn it on.
Jones: Thank you.
Cormier: I wish they would let me next door so I could spit in your f——g face.
Jones: You know I would absolutely kill you if you ever did something like that.
Cormier: You could never kill me.
Jones: Oh, I bet you I could.
Cormier: Then you should try, Jon. You really should try.
Jones: I would literally kill you if you spit in my face. Literally kill you. I’m not saying I would fight you, I’m saying I would kill you if you did some stupid s–t like that.
Cormier: Jon, do you think I’m just gonna sit there and let you kill me? I mean, really?
