VIDEO: Jones, Cormier talk trash after odd weigh-in for UFC 182

Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports

The animosity between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier was readily apparent Friday at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, where the two fighters refused to engage in the traditional face-to-face staredown that typically follows the pre-fight weigh-in.

Shortly after stepping on the scales - both weighed in at 205 pounds, by the way - the two proceeded to turn their backs to one another rather than putting up their dukes for the standard photo opportunity in advance of their light heavyweight title bout at UFC 182.

Moments later, however, the hostilities began to fly, as the two fighters started hurling trash talk at one another, punctuated with some expletives, of course.

These guys won't stop!!! This just happened in the fighter meeting and this NEVER happens. #UFC182 #ufc
