A bother between Jon Jones e Daniel Cormier gained another troubled chapter this Friday (08), when behind-the-scenes images of the interview given by the duo to the North American TV channel ESPN last Monday (04) were released – moments after the confusion in Las Vegas (USA ). In the video, the fighters talk after participating in the Sportscenter program and Jones goes so far as to threaten Cormier with death, literally, in his own words.

In the images, Jones and Cormier exchange insults and accusations of cowardice for a few moments, until the challenger suggests that he would spit on his rival if he were by his side at that moment. The words displease the champion who says he would kill his opponent if he tried something like that. From then on, the discussion takes the direction of the threat made by Bones. Until the end of the video, DC remains in disbelief with what was said and also continues provoking his opponent through intimidation.

Check out the video of the backstage discussion between Jones and Cormier, with a transcript of the dialogue below:
Jon Jones: Hey, coward, are you still there?
Daniel Cormier: I'm here, I'm here. You are simply the most fake person. I actually admire that you can be so fake, and how, when TV comes, you can just change. It's like you're a chameleon. It's incredible!
JJ: Hey, listen. I am a professional. The fact is that you are a coward!
DC: It's unbelievable! This is unbelievable!
JJ: The fact that you're a coward hasn't changed, but I'm a professional.
DC: It's unbelievable how much you actually are. You're just a fucking coward. My God, it's incredible. It's incredible. But, you know, I take my hat off to you. You have a great PR people, they do a great job training you, because you are terrible. You are the scum of humanity. You're a terrible human being, but you can certainly turn the key, huh?
JJ: Thank you!
DC: My God. You're kidding me.
DC: I wish they had left me there, so I could spit in their shitty face.
JJ: You know I would absolutely kill you if you did something like that, right?
DC: You could never kill me.
JJ: Oh, I bet you could.
DC: Then you should try it, Jon. You should really try, Jon.
JJ: I would literally kill you if you spat in my face.
DC: Yes, let's try that, Jon.
JJ: Literally, kill you!
DC: Let's try this, Jon.
JJ: I'm not saying I'd fight you. I told you I'd kill you if you did something as stupid as that.
DC: Jon, do you think I would just sit here and let you kill me, Jon? I mean, really?
