Remember that televised melee on CBS featuring Nick Diaz and Mayhem Miller?
I'm afraid Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier have made that point of reference obsolete, following today's (Aug. 4, 2014) epic staredown explosion at the UFC 178 media day, which took place inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Watch the insane video footage here.
But just because their pull-apart brawl is over doesn't mean they've stopped fighting. In fact, round two of the light heavyweight showdown between "Bones" and "DC" is currently playing out on social media.
In the red corner:
Come on DC where was your takedown defense?
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) August 4, 2014
I put you on your back in six seconds
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) August 4, 2014
Put some ice on that face DC, you got lots of interviews tomorrow
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) August 4, 2014
Lol those baby punches from the bottom, I really hope you have more prepared than that for when I take you down again
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) August 4, 2014
And in the blue corner:
"@JonnyBones: Come on DC where was your takedown defense?" I got some td def for you. Don't ever put ur dirty face on me again.
— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) August 4, 2014
@JonnyBones u hit like a bitch. Better be kicking because I will eat ur punches all day. Ur a punk. I can't wait to beat u up. My goodness
— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) August 4, 2014
I won't let another man get in my face and put his forehead against mine. I will react every time. @JonnyBones next time I will slap you.

After two rounds of action we go to the judges' scorecards. Well fight fans, how do you have it scored?
I was going to say the next round starts at UFC 178 on Sept. 27, 2014, but we still have the fight week press conference and then the "Jones vs. Cormier" weigh ins to get through.
Giggity.
Though I'd reckon somewhere is Stockholm, Simple Minds is stuck on a loop, drowning out the sound of Swedish tears...
