UFC CEO Dana White named the greatest confrontation in the promotion's history.
“Without a doubt, it was them — Jones and Cormier. They had a fight right in the MGM lobby. Yes, Dave Sholler missed it back then. The hardest part of these situations is when you are nearby; you are not there for photo shoots. Your task is to ensure these guys don't touch or disrespect each other. As soon as someone feels offended, they need to respond. And you can't stop it when some of these guys decide to let loose,” said the official.
As a reminder, Cormier and Jones met twice in the octagon, and both times "Bones" won. However, the result of the rematch was aned because Jones failed a doping test.
