10 Best Insults In The History Of MMA
2. Daniel Cormier - I've Never Been A Crackhead Like You
The rivalry between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier is so epic, that the two fighters' careers have since been irrevocably intertwined.
So what better way to bring this list to an end than to detail two of the best barbs these two MMA greats ever traded?
It's worth pointing out that it doesn't take a psychologist to determine a heel/face dynamic going on with Jones and Cormier. Cormier is the stereotypical protagonist, humble, fallible, and an all-round good guy. Meanwhile, Jones, on the other hand, has often portrayed himself as the storybook villain with his frequent flouting of the rules and repeated run-ins with the law.
During a press event to hype the rematch between DC and Jones scheduled for UFC 217, the pair couldn't help but get into a war of words. Jones remarked that Cormier looked like a "junkie", presumably a reference to the extreme weight cut leading DC's face to look hydrated. However, DC would demonstrate a sharp wit on the spot, citing Jones' history with drugs replying:
"I could look like a crackhead with a suit on, but I've never been a crackhead like you though."
The line even managed to force Jones into cracking a smile and proved that under drastically different circumstances the two might have made quite the comedy duo.
