The UFC's Vice President of PR couldn't hold off Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier when the pair started throwing punches at a press event ahead of their light heavyweight title fight.

Jones has recently been reinstated to the UFC roster after serving a suspension for his role in a hit-and-run earlier this year which resulted in a pregnant woman breaking her arm.
