Hundreds of fans and dozens of journalists attended the MGM Grand in Las Vegas (USA) on this first day of 2015 to follow the “Media Day” of UFC 182. However, despite the vast agenda scheduled for the event, with interviews with the main stars of the card, you can't deny that the big attraction was the face-off between Jon Jones e Daniel Cormier. And those who expected a heated atmosphere between the rivals were not disappointed, as the champion and challenger exchanged insults on stage and had to be restrained by president Dana White.

Shortly after speaking to the press at the hotel-casino, Jones and Cormier were invited to the stage for the traditional face-off. Faced with a moment of distraction from Dana White, who left the duo alone for a few moments, tempers flared up and there was an exchange of insults, insults and mutual threats. Noticing what had happened, especially due to the fans' demonstration, Dana hurriedly returned and restrained the fighters. There was still time for DC to point the finger in a threatening tone at Jones, who responded with a lot of irony before leaving the place.
