Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier met today at the MGM in Las Vegas to promote their fight at UFC 178 next month. While on stage in front of a crowd of media members, the two fighters had the typical, dramatic face-to-face staredown that comes with these kind of media events.
That staredown escalated very quickly when Cormier shoved Jones, who responded by tackling Cormier and basically bringing down the entire stage in the process. The brawl was eventually broken up and the fighters were separated, at least until they got behind a keyboard.
Come on DC where was your takedown defense?
