In a sport where controlled violence is rewarded it doesn't hurt when the opponents dislike each other. Jon "Bones" Jones and Daniel Cormier despise each other.
The two are scheduled to fight at UFC 178 on September 27, 2014 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.for Jones' light heavyweight title.
On Monday, August 4, they got a head start on the action by brawling at UFC 178 media day. It started when they faced off. The two men got so close their foreheads were touching. Cormier shoved Jones and it was on from there.
As UFC officials attempted to step in between them, Jones pushed them back and punched Cormier in the face. The fight then went to the ground for a few seconds before it was finally broken up.
This wasn't a set up to hype the fight because it doesn't need any. Jones and Cormier are the two best light heavyweights in the world. Alexander Gustafsson is also in the mix. He was originally scheduled to fight Jones in a rematch at UFC 178, but a training camp injury forced him out of the fight, opening the door for Cormier.

Jones and Cormier continued to go at each other on Twitter later in the day.
Jones' little daughter even got in on the trash talk a couple of weeks ago via an Instagram video, guaranteeing her dad would win against DC.
Watch the fight below and let us know who you think will win on September 27.
