LAS VEGAS -- Light-heavyweight champion Jon (Bones) Jones and challenger Daniel (DC) Cormier scuffled Monday at a news conference to publicize their UFC 178 showdown, falling off stage after coming to blows. Mike Remmers Jersey . The trouble started when the two fighters squared off in a photo op on a temporary stage in the lobby of the MGM Grand. The taller Jones touched foreheads with Cormier, who shoved him backwards. Jones came right back at Cormier, with a pair of UFC employees shoved aside as they tried to intervene. Both fights tumbled off the low stage, whose backdrop was ripped down, and landed in a pile of bodies before they were eventually pulled apart. "I wont let another man get in my face and put his forehead against mine. I will react every time," Cormier tweeted later. "Lol those baby punches from the bottom," Jones said by Twitter. "I really hope you have more prepared than that for when I take you down again." No one was injured in the incident, according to the UFC. UFC president Dana White normally MCs such events but missed this one. "The first day of my vacation and this happens," the UFC boss said via Twitter, including a video of the scuffle. The two fighters are slated to meet in the cage for real on Sept. 27. The two have made no secret of their dislike for each other, a sentiment that will undoubtedly help sell the fight. Mondays brawl wont hurt either, although the UFC said the fighters would pay a price. "This is certainly not a proud moment for the UFC organization," UFC chief legal officer Kirk Hendrick said in a statement. "We expect more from our athletes, especially these two gentlemen, who are very well-trained and highly educated professionals. Their actions were clearly a violation of the UFCs code of conduct." The UFC said the Nevada State Athletic Commission had requested a video copy of the incident. "We are going to reserve our right to penalize both fighters after the commission has made a decision," Hendrick said. "We expect more from our athletes and we are prepared to levy sanctions to reinforce the appropriate behaviour." "There are going to be ramifications," he added. "Whether youre the champion, or this is your first fight in the UFC, there are going to be ramifications from the UFC for these actions." Mike Hughes Jersey .

"I want to beat them just as bad as I want to beat everybody else," said Moore, who spent three seasons with the B.C. Lions until he was scooped as a free agent by the Bombers after the end of 2013. "I want to win every game. Theyre just another team." Moore said his time with the Lions included highs and lows as he moved back and forth from the active roster to the practice roster, although he went out with a bang, finishing third in the CFL with 1,105 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 2013. He says the Lions wanted him to stay but "it was the best choice for me to come here and, as you can see, it worked out well for me." At the same time, he suggested a little immaturity might have made him focus on the wrong things when he was wearing Lions colours. "It was a little bit up and down but I cant complain, it made me what I am today." He has already established himself as No. 1 on the Bombers receiving list this season with 221 yards after four games and is a favourite target of Winnipeg quarterback Drew Willy, who he has known since their years trying to crack the NFL. "Being with a new team, thats one of the games that you look forward to," he said of his return to Vancouver. "That being said, its just another game. Its an important game because its a divisional game but its just another game." The Bombers have moved back to the CFL West after spending almost a decade in the East following the departure of Ottawa, which has now returned to the league with the Redblacks. The Bombers will be wiithout a promising young receiver, Aaron Kelly, when they walk into B. Mike Hughes Vikings Jersey. C. Place. He continues to be bothered by a knee problem, although he did practice some this week. Promising Canadian receiver Julian Feoli-Gudino will be playing, although he didnt practice Wednesday. The Bombers will also be missing veteran defensive back Johnny Sears. They had already accepted that defensive end Jason Vega, No. 2 on Winnipegs sack list, wouldnt be playing. Coach Mike OShea confirmed Wednesday that Maurice Leggett will sub for Sears, now that Leggett is off the injured list. The Bomber offence has been working all week to close the gaps that let Willy get sacked five times last week, as they fell 26-3 to the Edmonton Eskimos, their first loss of the season. "Mentally weve had good practices all week, were definitely ready to go," said Willy. "I like our game plan this week and I think were going to go out and execute it. We really just need to go out there and be successful as an offence, really communicate, depending how loud it gets and all that, and just make sure were on the same page." Communication, or lack thereof, was an issue OShea highlighted after last weeks pasting. But nine-season CFL veteran offensive lineman Steve Morley says as far as the front five were concerned, that wasnt really their problem. "I think the communication was fine, we didnt really have missed assignments, it was more just guys getting beat," he said. "They knew we were passing, Edmonton has a really good front four rushing the passer. . . We have to use better technique, finish our plays, hopefully dont get down by 20 in the fourth quarter."
