UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier was a mixed martial arts event held on January 3, 2015, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The event was headlined by a Light Heavyweight Championship bout between the champion at that time, Jon Jones, and top contender Daniel Cormier.
Jones was initially scheduled to face Alexander Gustafsson in a rematch on September 27, 2014, at UFC 178. However, Gustafsson pulled out of the bout due to a knee injury and was replaced by Daniel Cormier. Subsequently, on August 12, Jones pulled out of the bout against Cormier citing a leg injury, which in turn led to the rescheduling of the pairing to this event.
One of the most historic beefs in MMA's history started with a straightforward phrase; “I bet you that I could take you down.” Jon Jones told Daniel Cormier backstage at UFC 121 in 2010. Unsurprisingly, the former Olympic wrestler Cormier took offense to this, and their rivalry was born. While their squabbles wouldn’t hit the cage for another five years, their distaste for each other would be firmly established.
Initially, their beef was rather superficial as Cormier fought at Heavyweight, but in 2014 DC would come down to Light Heavyweight, putting together two wins over Patrick Cummins and Dan Henderson. Jones was coming off his Hall of Fame bout with Alexander Gustafsson and was initially supposed to rematch him, but Gustafsson would have to pull out with an injury, thus giving Cormier the title shot. In the build-up to this fight, their rivalry would reach mainstream awareness, starting with their famous scuffle at a UFC media day in August of that year.
The two faced off at a press event at the MGM Grand, and things went awry relatively fast. Jones got right in Cormier’s face, leading Cormier to respond with a hard shove. Jones stormed back at Cormier, leading to them getting tangled up and knocking over numerous people and the fake wall behind the stage. When the dust had finally settled, it was clear that the bad blood between these two had boiled over and would only continue to do so.
Jones and Cormier later did an interview on SportsCenter, in which they had to be kept in separate rooms. The two would exchange words when they believed cameras weren’t rolling and the seriousness of their beef was truly exposed. Jones would drop a now infamous line, “Hey pu--y, are you still there?” Things would only spiral out of control from here, with Cormier telling Jones, “I wish they would let me next door so I could spit in your f--king face.” Jones warmly responded, “...I would literally kill you if you spit in my face.”
Jones won the fight by unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, and 49-46).[138] He also became the first person to take Cormier down, scoring three takedowns in total. The win also earned Jones his fourth Fight of the Night bonus award. However, their rivalry wasn’t finished. At the end of the fifth round, the two got into an intense exchange, ending with Jones giving Cormier a crotch chop. After the victory, Jones would get on the mic and say, “ I don’t respect Daniel Cormier. I hope he’s somewhere crying right now. I’m sure he is.” Shockingly, it would then be revealed that Jones had tested positive for a cocaine metabolite before the fight. As this was not a banned substance out of competition, the fight was allowed to go on, but this would be the tip of the iceberg of Jones's questionable behavior. - Zábava
The clinch boxing, knees and elbows in this fight were on a different level 🔥
Pro comment
Jone jones is 12 years younger then DC and my props goes to DC for fighting a man in his prime but not in his own prime.
*8 years
Also Jones has a major reach difference
This was cormiers prime he joined the UFC old
Cormier had a weight volume strength advantage
Just 8 years different and also dc was at his prime.
So much respect for both fighter but especially for DC fighting someone bigger, taller and legendary as Jones
I know Jones is the goat an all, but considering DC is literally the same height as Khabib, a lightweight, at a whopping 5'9 and was fight at LHW and HW. VS jones at 6'3. I honestly find Cormier more impressive. Dude just didnt give a f about weight classes, he fought anyone regardless of natural size.
@@Dippa666 Its not all about height though. cormier is a natural heavyweight, that was used to fighting heavyweights. being shorter is also an advantage when it comes to defending takedowns, being more easily able to get lower to get underhooks etc. so theres advantages and disadvantages. what rly gave jon the advantage was his 84.5" reach, but as we've seen from other long fighters all of that is meaningless without the IQ to go along with it.
@@zombieepx1933 natural size may have been the wrong phrase to use. I mean more like peak bf%. I.e if he fought lean instead of carrying round a KFC family bucket in the ring
@@Dippa666 thats just genetics though, cormier had to basically kill himself to make 205 lbs. hes wide thats just how it goes for some people no matter what they do it wont change
@@zombieepx1933 DC also gassed out at lhw a lot because of the cut and that's how he lost this fight too
DC makes Jon Jones look human lol
And yet still lost, twice dibshit.
Gold
Best
@@salasortenga1050you completely misunderstood his comment…. He was complimenting jones
@@johnscarce792 hmmmm🤔strange compliment
Very close matched fight. Both fighters are legends in my book.
No it wasn’t lmfao jones completely dominated
@@Tiberious__ shut up
@@Tiberious__ steroid head.
@@Tiberious__ no way you can say he dominated. I’m a Jones fan for sure but it was good fight both sides.
@@KemkachiI scored it 49-46 Jones, it wasn’t total domination but there was a clear winner if that makes any sense 😂
2:46 the way he blocks the kick, geniues
The battle of the two strongest light heavyweights in MMA stories
Ты Американец?
@@UmidRavshanov_UR Yes
Indeed.
DC is so good in the Clinch with his short uppercuts and hooks. Put down Stipe in similar fashion. Jon Bones realized that and adjusted beautifully I think.
yeah he really is good at luring ppl into his dirty boxing game. even stipe was playing handsies with him trying to figure it out for 2 fights.
The main reason dc lost the fight is his short height
@@shaikharfat1923 Feel like that’s true. Both have very high skill sets one is just taller and gave him the edge
Jon jones dominate him so bad dc fans trying everything to make dc look good
I was literally thinking the exact same thing, he’s so dangerous in the clinch and attempted that exact same punch that kod stipe multiple times, either jon has a good chin, saw it coming or dc has more power at heavyweight its hard to say
I love how no matter how they hated eatch others they still touched gloves in both fights
Love and respect the sport more than they hate each other
DC's short height and short leg is the main reason he lost the fight
Fat boy can’t make a lower weight. That’s his fault. He was one of the smallest light heavyweights.
Dc is a good fighter... Jones just has very good defense even big fighters cant do nothing ... At least dc put in a good challenge. Both are skilled Fighters.
Clearly ignoring the fact that he is 12 years older than him
@@harshilameta Not 12, but 8. Where are you getting 12? Also DC was not a typical 35 year old in the UFC. He did not have the wear and tear since he hadn't been in the UFC as long or fighting since his 20s, which would have been way way worse because those guys have injuries and wear and tear. Randy Coutre was similar. He had his first fight and 34 and had no wear and tear and was freash physically, which is how he was champion at 45. DC was in his prime. Had you watched him dismantle Barnett and Henderson? He was a complete beast, which is why they set the fight up. Age is not a good excuse for using in DC's specific situation.
That wouldn't be DC then. If he was a different height and different length you would have a fighter that doesn't exist. DC would have different skills and be worse in different aspects, so your statement is very wrong as well That's like saying if I was taller I would beat Lebron James or Michael Jordan in basketball. Height and length you can't complain about. No fighter would have ever make that excuse for losing, it makes no sense. They wouldn't fight if things like that bothered them.
Watching this back just realised DC was landing alot in the clinch
For sure. Rounds 1 and 4 go to jones, 2 and 3 were debatable rounds. I’d have to watch 5 in its entirety again.
@@brianjackson30315 definitely goes to Jones as well, but 2 and 3 were debatable. 49-46 Jones sounds right. I wouldn't call the fight close though since Jon dominated so much in round 4, and controlled everything in 5. It was a dominating performance, just not an extremely dominating one. I gave DC round 2, and Jon round 3.
Anybody else not remember it being this close? Jon’s typical Jon here but DC was one of the only guys who could compete with bones. DC surprised me again in this fight, he’s a beast at dirty boxing.
I don't remember this fight being so close for DC
They went the distance this is only 11:22 of a 25 minute fight it wasn't even this close, now Cormier did way better in the 2nd fight until Jones head kicked him into oblivion.
@@sheistdolo6086 I said close but meant it wasn't a one sided show
@@sheistdolo6086 Cormier was literally beating Jon until he got sent to the shadow realm in the second fight lol
If dc height is more he definitely would have beat jon jones because his short height is huge disadvantage for him
They edited out the part of Jones beating his ass. This edit makes it look like DC won
The world still owes dc an apology for all the media and generalized hate he got during their rivalry 😂
Thanks very much!
This fight was closer than history likes to tell it. Great inside work by DC under pressure. Good job increasing distance after that tho by Jones with those kicks.
Jon won 4 rounds to 1... took down cormier several times with double legs. Cormier did great but it wasnt a close fight at all.
@@zombieepx1933 it was very competitive but a clear win for Jon. It was similar to Jon's fight against Reyes where Reyes clearly won the first 3 but it still looked close enough for the judges to rob Reyes
@@zombieepx1933 closer than than people make it seem. But I'd say Gustaffson and Reyes could've gone either way.
I saw the full fight and it wasn't close
@@TheBookOfHarper gustaffson beat jones the first time
This is still a victory for Cormier. He stood with the best and put in great work. No shame
Yeah without steroids aswell, rewatching it now years later I clocked how dangerous dc is in the clinch, the punch he knocked stipe out with was attempted multiple time in this fight and either Jon has a great chin or he saw it coming every time
He lost lol
@@dang5217 🎶 captain obvious to save the day 🎶
@@jordymanunited DC had a testosterone level of 7000 ng/dL. Thats 7X as much as the average man. He was deff on roids.
@@Keltonwiez I hadn’t heard that, fair enough if it’s true, where did you hear read this?
Anyone else notice DC clipped the ref with that right hook?
Close fight because of a picky highlights, but the entire full fight of this will show you how much Jones dominated the fight.
He did nothing significant
The highlights were fair, but Jon still dominated, it was never extreme domination though.
@billj4525 Domination doesn't matter unless the other person can't recover. Leon vs usman is a great example of this.
Jon Jones confusing DC some seconds before the end was amazing😬
This was a Really good back and forth flight
I'm watching your video thanks for sharing
DC is a tank. Dude got hit with a lot of good shots, but it seemed like none of them hurt him somehow
This was a closer fight than I remember. And man Jones was cat quick he's definitely not that guy anymore
I feel like a lot of people fail to factor in who is being aggressive vs defensive. Jon always cuts the ring and brings the fight to the man. It’s the reason when the rounds look close they in fact are not.
He’s a really big guy now!
That’s typically what happens when you’re 30 pounds heavier
He is though
He will be in his next fight
Amazing fight
Some of those uppercuts were brutal
Man!can u imagine that u are facing the goat and u also have a huge disadvantage on reach and still believing in urself that u can beat him
I need this confidence
Well DC was a beast at the time and had never lost, so of course he had the confidence. He thought he was the GOAT. This was earlier in Jons career. Both men were undefeated and dominated pretty much everyone, which is why they set this up. Such an exciting fight at the time.
Both fucking legends, ive had the honor to meet and love both guys. 🙏
You met and loved them? At the same time?
Gayy
Rephrase ur comment,it seems like ur praising sex workers
😂 , funny and misleading comment.
@@Evilevilmonkeyy😭😭😭
Épico. No hacían falta más palabras para describirlo, pero era necesario. ❤
DC won that
DC knew DEEP down he could NEVER hang with Jones 😂😂
Lmao
Did a lot better than other competitors casual
@@heavingearth6727 doesn’t matter . Still got whooped and cried lmfao
Bro did better than every else and didn’t take PEDs
DC would fuck him up if Jones was clean !!! Jones is a big time cheater !!!
6:04 how come they didn't comment on that upward elbow, that same one by Spider Silva ended a fight with someone, I forgot who.
DC is a fxckin beast
That is not pretending to be a bad dude like some guys. That is seriously an insane dude.
Steroids vs raw strength
The first was indicative of DC being on juice though right? Not Jon. The blood work indicated that. You remember that?
Beautiful fight ❤❤❤❤
This seems like ufc at its finest
Highest level matchup in history . Honestly volk and Islam was close to this too
What is Hector Salamanca doing in the background?
Tbh it looked like dc couldnt get them take downs cuz of how shorter he was than john but he was eating them kicks and hands wonderfully
Jones have very good defense, it was a very good fight.
9:01 this what i was looking for..touch of glove love lol
Good match.
The guy next to herb dean looks like Hector Salamanca 😅
Jones: do you wanna dance and hold my hand.
Cormier: of course not! You're not Sharon stones!!
Good fight
Was herb dean caught at the end
im surprised this was unanimous
Look at the referee at the end, he already knew that Jones was the winner. How did he?
@@alymay2441 It was obvious, just casuals didn't know.
@@alexpolanco7885 Sure kiddo
@@alymay2441 I think Jones raised his hand himself than the referee try’s to put it down after being like wtf you did it to early
@@alexpolanco7885 only casual is your bitchass
Love how when its Jons highlight joe rogan has to always compliment it 😂
Very very close fight
no way ppl are saying this was a close fight and it could of went either way? jones outlanded cormier 4 rounds to 1 and had more takedowns as well. jones had 6:30 control time compared to dcs 1:30
Finally somebody said it 🙄. Nobodys saying Jon is an Altar boy or anything. Or that he’s even a more likable guy. But this fight was NOT that close.
they think the full fight was anything close to a highlight comp showing equal highlights
@@rvdical9843 actually was. much smaller fighter without steroids was real opponent to talented but huge monkey for his behaviour. no respect jones here. no respect for steroids usage. i wish that fight to be judged to draw for justice.
Jones was 12 years younger, in my book he should have beat him more decisively.
@@smokeodorelimination8016Don’t know where you’re getting 12 years from Jones is 8 years younger and they were both in the prime age range for LHW during this fight
Would have been interesting to see a non juiced Jones fight DC at heavyweight
Jon was winning the majority of the 1st and the 3rd even though he got whooped at the end of those rounds. After all it was a clear win for Jon.
Are you sure about the first round 🤔 and if Jon did well at the first and the third round what about the other round's I mean the second and the fourth and the last round DC has dominant in
@@user-fg7vl2zj4p the first was DC's round imo. The second was clearly DC's round. In the third round they both landed a lot of big shots but Jon landed more. 4th and 5th were clearly Jon's rounds, Jon took down DC multiple times which and landed more shots
@@user-fg7vl2zj4p 4th & 5th were clear Jones rounds. 1st & 3rd were close but Jones I guess. 2nd was probably DC.
What did u smoke
Was a better fight then I thought
it's obvious that he was on something like he wasn't getting tired like dc
Damn even Herb new Jon won before it was announced 💀
Good ass fight
Am I missing something because these highlights make it look like DC won 😭
Yeah, brain cells
No they didn't lol.
This is happened after a week of cocaine.
I wish these two could fight one more time at heavy weight. I just want to hear them argue some more leading up to the fight. We all know Jon would win again. Still though, the greatest rivalry in UFC history. So good lol. They reminded me of brothers who had enough of each other.
Bro, there's no rivalry when one man is so much better than the other and is far more popular. Had DC won ANY of these fights, then maybe you could consider it a rivalry, but, my God, let's stop trying to act like DC belongs in the same stratosphere as JBJ, let alone OCTAGON!!!!
@@akbarshabazz-jenkins7847 ordinarily you would be right but not in this case. DC was better than everyone else except Jon. They were both undefeated which made for the build up. Jon won both fights but lost the belt both times. So DC still became champion lol. Jon may have won in the octagon but DC had his victories as well. Jon lost his Nike and Gatorade sponsors after the fight they had at the state down at the MGM. Those sponsors were unheard of in MMA at the time. It’s the most bitter petty contentious and before both fights most competitive. No one knew Jon would win both fights. While Jon was getting arrested and having shameful court appearances DC was Mr. Happy commentating and on TV calling Jon “Son” telling him to get his shit together. Bringing up the steroids (even though they were both on them, everyone’s on steroids). The way Jon’s life went outside the cage and how well DC’s been doing, you would think Jon lost and DC won, but Jon DID beat him both times so it almost makes no sense. It’s almost as if DC put some kind of Voodoo on Jon. Until Jon won the HW belt. As long as Jon doesn’t get arrested anytime soon and beats Stipe (the guy who retired DC) then it’s over for DC. He has to shut up lol. The end. I love it. Wish we could see another fight just for this to continue.
@@Berkmugga nice comments bro
I honestly dont think anybody is going to be jon jones until he retires.
We'll see. He never fights, and it's amazing how he comes back after years of no fights and wins the heavyweight belt, and even before that there was like over a year between his last few fights, just incredible. Eventually that might take a toll on him. He's not getting any younger either. He's just unbelievable, but it's tough. He needs to fight like soon. Even his last fight wasn't much practice. He just dominated. Jon is a freak though, best ever by so much.
Just think if DC was younger, so much older and still hurt him a bunch, if Stipe still has it Jones could be in real trouble in my book.
Stipe is a beast, but he's rusty too. Neither hardly ever fight. Stipe likely gives him a better fight than most think, but Jon is too good.
Herb dean the unidisputed champ at the end lol
DC grande guerreiro, deveria ser ao menos um empate.
Jones said it best , DC was an excellent champion
i was super tired of this wrestling nerd, ragdolling his opponents. Finally he got his awakening
dc?
Man, DC bruised the guy quite a bit
Jon could always strike well idk where ppl thought he had bad striking
Kicks to the thigh my ass!!!. Jon trys to fold your knee backwards!!!!
Cormiere was the aggressor the whole fight?? That shoulld've been his.😢😢😢
essa luta me fez lembra cro cop & fedor its War
Just imagine if both were 6' or about the same height it would have have been a lot different
And same age
Almost made me remember Islam vs Volk match 😂
I thought it's was a clear win for DC
JJ is a beast!
Herb ate one at the end lol
DC is the Tank
Daniel should have came at Jones with angles. Had he did that he would have gotten the decision or maybe a KO.
DC was never really known for footwork or cutting of the ring, it would've been useful for him tho. He just marched forward and beat up his opponents from close range.
9:37 Voice.. two voices exactly the same timing.. may be its just a bug😂whatever
DC has good qick hooks.. whenever they hold.. he will throw two three inside the hands uppercuts
Eye poke masters face each other in the ruptured cornea championship
Size difference is huge
I loved DC's fighting style before he got tired at least, shame he was in there with a guy clearly on PEDs, how are you not exhausted in the fifth I dont know, still physically able to lift DC lmao.
Jon jones got a boosie fade
DC should have been a winner.
dc looks way too good in this highlights , i watched the whole fight, it wasnt close like that at all .
DC made Jon Jones want to jump guard. LOL..... What a legend DC is
10:15 the best moment
Folks who're saying Jones dominated DC should really rethink what they're doing in bed.
Cormier memang mempunyai setamina yg luar biasa..andai posturny sama2 imbang pasti lain critanya
Kalo menurutku karna cormier beda jauh juga umurnya dengan jones. Tapi oke banget bisa lawan jones sebagai itu
DC is built like Hyena. 10 Inch reach advantage saved Jones a$$
Bones just has a better instinct for fighting than anyone I've seen. That mixed with his training and skill. The goat. Khabib yeah undefeated etc. But Jones is another level again.
Jones undefeated too.
Dc got embarrassed
Por dios, Jones es demasiado bueno
2black man fight don't need judgement
How the Fuck Don Hector there
Jones's legacy is marred by his positive drug test results.
DC vs Jones at the same age (also, jones not jucied up), I will always put my money on DC. DC is the goat.
Never was into the UFC during this period (wish I was feelings are the same for when GSP was in) but damn does DC holds up well against JJ.
For everyone saying JJ was the GOAT I’d argue DC was especially seeing as DC didn’t cheat…
0:00 the salamanca grandfather??
Cormie foi o único lutador que o Jones não encoralo cormie tá um trabalho pra coloquei adversário e uma pena que ele paro de luta
both fighters were equally strong i think its a tie
Jones is is dirty fighter. He intentionally kicks opponents knees.
That’s legal so how is it dirty
