Cormier argues that because Jones is still suspended, he really shouldn't be in Buffalo this weekend at all. Even worse, he said the posters around town advertising an "after party" featuring Bones is a bad idea.
"What genius did that?," asks an incredulous Cormier in an interview with Ariel Helwani at UFC 210 media day. "What genius decided to give Jon Jones, a recovering alcoholic, an after party? Who does it? Great job, Malki (Kawa, Jones' agent). Awesome work, buddy. Jeez!"
"It doesn't bother me. I just think it's desperate. Very desperate."
I noticed the ads for Jones signing experience. Dudes charging ppl for a signed photo etc,
pretty desperate stuff
Literally every pro athlete that has even the remotest form of noteriety does this. I remember a local sports convention thing in the cincy area from 2015 where Chris fucking sabo was charging $35 a pop for his autograph. Extra $$ for pictures
I met rampage about 16 years ago and asked for a photo. He said "you got $20". I stared at him for about 3 seconds before he started laughing. That was the first fighter I ever met. He was a nice guy. Probably second to randleman and Coleman. Met them at different events and they were definitely a couple of the nicest guys I have ever met. Offtrack I know, I have been drinking.
Not defending the party animal, but just being real. Jones is from upstate NY. Buffalo is upstate NY. Should Jones just stay home that night? Let's give respect where it's due. Jones is the best fighter of our generation. If he doesn't show up, that would be a shame.

Cormier's just trying to sell the rematch.
that's why Jones is there if DC wins he can call him out.

Chris Sabo haven't heard that name in over 20 years now.

Wrong. It's guys that are considered total douchebags in their sport, or totally fucking broke that do this kind of shit. People like Pete Rose and Tom Barrasshole
