UFC fighter Daniel Cormier apparently did not appreciate that Jon Jones called him a coward when he appeared on The MMA Hour on Monday (h/t Shaun Al-Shatti of MMAFighting.com).
Cormier took to Twitter to let his opinions be heard in a rant that included more than just the two tweets below (warning: tweets contain NSFW language):
Jon jones I have never been afraid of you or anyone in my entire life. You calling me coward is insane. Your day will come bitch.

Remember jones I didn't call u coward when u moved our 1st fight due to injury hypocrite. That's biggest word I'll use when talking to u.

Jones' comments came after Cormier offered on The MMA Hour to assist Ovince Saint Preux in his preparation for a battle against Jones at UFC 197 on April 23. Saint Preux passed on the invitation, but Jones still seemed to take issue with the offer (h/t Al-Shatti):
[Cormier] is an absolute coward who will never beat me. And I say that not from an arrogant place. I say that from a place where, me getting my belt back, it means everything to me. That belt right now is a big part of my life. It means everything to me. Me losing to OSP should be the last thing that [Cormier] would want, because if I were to somehow lose, that means he doesn't get to avenge his only loss.
Jones appeared to have some fun with Cormier’s anger:
Lol you mad bro?
