Jon Jones has savagely mocked Daniel Cormier after he claimed his rival will NOT knock anyone out at heavyweight.

Jones will make his eagerly-awaited UFC heavyweight debut later this year after dominating the UFC light-heavyweight division.

He has bulked up in preparation for the move up in weight with 'Bones' showing off his heavyweight power in a training clip.

But 'DC' isn't impressed and believes he will struggle to stop anyone at heavyweight.

He said: "Jon Jones will not knock out anyone at heavyweight. He doesn't hit hard enough.

"If he couldn't knock these dudes out at 205-pounds, he's not knocking these heavyweights out."

Jones caught wind of his comments and hit back with a ruthless video.

He shared a video of him beating up Cormier at UFC 214, attached with a clip of his assessment and accompanied with the caption: "Hope you like this quick little edit I threw together for you."

Cormier responded, tweeting: "There is a difference punch vs kick, you're still as dumb as you've always been, you'll never surprise me.

"Dance for me, I can always make you move. And lastly , this fight didn't count if you forgot there was an issue...... remember?"

Of course, their UFC 214 meeting back in July 2017 was eventually overturned to a no-contest after Jones tested positive for Turinabol.

He was stripped of the UFC light-heavyweight title, but went onto reclaim it before relinquishing his crown in May 2020.

The 33-year-old hasn't fought since his victory over Dominick Reyes as he gears himself up for his heavyweight bow.

He's expected to fight the winner of Stipe Miocic vs. Francis Ngannou II, according to UFC president Dana White.
