<p>It was a slow news week for MMA, with the exception of Jones vs. Cormier trash talking, which alone was enough to make the week lively.</p>
Among the charges jabbed at Jones by DC were that he is fake, that he has one persona for the public, and another in private.
"You are just the fakest person," said Cormier. "I actually admire that you can be this fake and when the TV comes on you can just change. You're like a chameleon. It's awesome. It's unbelievable."
"It's unbelievable just how fake you can be! You're such a f----ing p---y! My god! It is amazing... You're the f-----g scum of the earth. You're a terrible human being, but you can sure turn it on."
From there, the conversation got markedly worse.
Before the UFC 178 fan Q&A in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Dave Doyle asked Jones about the phoniness charges that have long dogged him.
"I think it is interesting when people call you fake when they don't know you personally," Jones said. "I think all of us as human beings, we have many sides of us, many aspects to our personalities. You know, you can be angry sometimes, you can be happy sometimes, you can be sad sometimes. Sometimes you have your business hat on, we all have many hats throughout the day. That's who I am. I have many different sides to me."
"For someone to call me fake, it holds no weight. If it was a trainer, or a close friend, or my fiancee, then that would mean a lot more. ‘Fake' is something that kind of stuck with me since I fought Rashad Evans and now it's [Cormier's] go-to ammo. You can't criticize my MMA game too much, so they attack my character and my personality. It has no relevancy because none of these guys actually know me."
