Jonny “Bones” Jones was on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to discuss his UFC 178 media day brawl with Daniel Cormier that occurred Monday in Las Vegas. Jones blamed the incident on Cormier, saying this was the Olympic wrestler’s highest profile fight and thinks the pressure got to him.
“I don’t think he’s used to fighting these big fights, and he was just really anxious and nervous, and I saw that it was going to be a really intense staredown just by the way he was looking across the stage at me,” Jones said. … “We go head to head and he like karate chops me in the neck, and I can’t let that happen. Being the champion I have to stand my ground. The next thing I know people were getting pushed and it was like a Royal Rumble.”
Jones also talked about his training regimen, saying he trains four times a day and he “doesn’t work out, he out works.” Check out the videos below.

Thoughts: Cormier definitely did not “karate chop” Jones in the neck. He probably doesn’t even know how to do a karate chop. This guy does though. Also, that’s a nice quote about “working out” … he “out works”. Sounds like he might not “out work” teammate Holly Holm though, according to what she said in her interview last night on UFC Tonight.
