Cormier Says Jon Jones Intentionally Leaked Hip Arthritis to End Wrestling Match Talk

Overview

• Daniel Cormier argued Jones knew he was being recorded and used the leak to signal he is hurt and effectively done.
• Cormier said the video convinced him Jones has nothing left and declared there will be no wrestling match between them.
• In the leaked clip, Jones discussed severe left-hip arthritis and said he may qualify for a hip replacement.
• Jones confirmed the condition but criticized the filming as covert, later downplaying aspects of the injury on social media.
• Jones has floated retiring again after a prior U-turn, leaving any UFC return — including a hoped-for White House card matchup — uncertain.
