This past weekend featured the conclusion to one of mixed martial arts' (MMA's) best rivalries of all time.

Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier first met inside the Octagon at UFC 182 back in January of 2015, following a great lead up that featured a brawl during a face-off, which "Bones" won via unanimous decision as he handed the former Olympian his first MMA loss. Following that, however, Jones was involved in a series of issues that kept him out of the Octagon and he was subsequently stripped of his light heavyweight title.

Cormier would win the vacant title and defend it successfully twice. "DC" and Jones finally got their opportunity to rematch this past weekend (Sat. July 29, 2017) to settle their differences once and for all and determine who the true champion at 205 pounds is.

After a good back-and-forth battle for the first two rounds, Jones landed a hellacious head kick on Cormier in the third round that rocked him and knocked him down. Jones followed up with some nasty ground-and-pound to pick up the TKO win and earn his championship back. Cormier was emotional after the loss and was crying after he came to and realized he had been knocked out.

UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping took to his podcast, Believe You Me, to talk about the events that transpired this past weekend, claiming Jones got the 'ultimate' revenge by making Cormier cry after the fight (quotes via MMA Fighting):

“Cormier shouldn’t have done that. I thought it was bad because - listen, I’ve never cried when I’ve lost a fight, that’s not what I’m saying though.

"What I’m saying is because how much they dislike one another, and for as classy as Jon Jones could be inside the octagon, don’t tell me that that wasn’t the ultimate f**king revenge for Jon Jones to see D.C. crying. So what I mean is that the way he should have handled that better is to save that for the private moments.

“But he’d just been scrambled. Obviously, he wasn’t thinking straight. He was highly emotional, he’d just been knocked out. You don’t know where you are when you’ve been knocked out, I’ll tell you that right now.

"Even though you’re back on you’re talking to Joe Rogan, you still don’t know what the f**k is going on. And by the way, that was a bad knockout.”

“In that period of fighting for the title and being the champion, he’s made millions and millions of dollars. I would guess six to seven million dollars in a couple of years, maybe more. Maybe close to 10 million dollars, who knows?

"I was feeling sorry for him but then I said, hold on a minute. At the end of the day, we do this for money. He’s earned a s**t-ton of money, he’s been the champion, and he’s lost and he’s a grown ass man and he’ll deal with it.

"There’s no need to sit here feeling sorry for him and he probably doesn’t want that anyway.”
