Jon Jones’ classy message to Daniel Cormier after the death of DC’s dad

UFC legends Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier have had a very heated and personal beef between each other for what now feels like 100 years.

They have, of course, met in the Octagon twice, with Jones winning both times, though he did have his last win wiped out due to a positive drug test shortly after their fight.

On Monday, however, Jones put the insults aside and posted a very thoughtful and classy message to Cormier, who shared the sad news over the weekend that his dad, Percy Benoit, lost his battle with cancer and passed away on Saturday.

Jones wished DC and his family his best during this tough time:

Well done, Jon Jones.
