Daniel Cormier wasn’t interested in watching Jon Jones fight Anthony Smith in person on Saturday … he had other things on his mind — like taking his family to Disneyland!!!
Despite the crazy feud between the two, DC tells us he wasn’t going to let Jones dictate his weekend — and instead opted to take his wife and kids to the Magic Kingdom in Anaheim, CA — 260 miles from the Jones fight in Vegas.
There was a good reason for the trip … DC’s daughter, Marquita, turned 7 years old and the UFC champ wanted to do something special for her birthday.
Of course, while Cormier was enjoying the Happiest Place on Earth, Jones put a beating on Anthony Smith at UFC 235 … boosting his official record to an impressive 24-1-1.
Jones doesn’t acknowledge his 1 loss — because it was due to a disqualification from an illegal elbow in a fight he was otherwise dominating.
It was almost deja vu for Jones this weekend — he hit Smith with an illegal knee and was THIIIS close to being DQ’d again … but Smith took the honorable path out and opted to continue the fight.
Jones won in a unanimous decision.
Cormier — the reigning UFC heavyweight champ — and Dana White say he’s gunning to set up a 3rd fight with Jones before he hangs it up for good.
DC lost the first time he fought Jones and was KO’d in the rematch — but that 2nd loss was later ruled a “no contest” because Jones tested positive for a banned substance.
So, will DC agree to one last brawl with his arch enemy?
Stay tuned …
