Video: Dana White forced to separate Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier at UFC 182 media day

LAS VEGAS – They didn’t fall off the stage, all shoes remained on their owner’s feet, and no UFC public-relations officials got shoved into a new time zone. Still, Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier sure made it interesting.

During today’s UFC 182 media day in Las Vegas, UFC light heavyweight champion Jones (20-1 MMA, 14-1 UFC) and fellow headliner Cormier (15-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) got a bit heated during the customary face-off and photo opportunity.

The fighters, who meet Saturday in the featured pay-per-view bout at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, infamously brawled during such an event in August (watch it below). And though tempers flared and UFC President Dana White was forced to break them apart on two occasions, cooler heads ultimately prevailed.

Check out the full scene above.
