Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC LAS VEGAS – While Monday’s public dust-up between UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (20-1 MMA, 14-1 UFC) and undefeated challenger Daniel Cormier (15-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) may very well have brought more attention to the pair’s UFC 178 matchup, UFC officials are publicly standing against such actions. UFC Chief Legal Officer Kirk Hendrick issued a statement through the company’s official website and claimed there will be a price to pay for both Jones and Cormier. “This is certainly not a proud moment for the UFC organization,” Hendrick stated. “We expect more from our athletes, especially these two gentlemen, who are very well-trained and highly educated professionals. Their actions were clearly a violation of the UFC’s code of conduct.” Jones and Cormier were taking part in a UFC 178 Ultimate Media Day session in the lobby of Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Hotel & Casino. After taking part in interviews for approximately one hour, the two were brought together on stage for a traditional pre-event staredown photo opportunity.
