Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier seemingly put their differences aside but the UFC heavyweight champion has continued to troll his former foe.
Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier‘s names will forever be linked, as they fought each other twice in one of the biggest rivalries in the sport’s history.
Their feud was extremely bitter and during media day for their scheduled fight at UFC 178, they broke out into a huge brawl which heightened their hatred for each other. That, though, was only the beginning of several years of torment.

It seemed as though the two UFC greats had put the majority of their differences aside so that they could both continue their work with the promotion.
Of course, ‘Bones’ is still active and is reigning over the heavyweight division, making it relatively awkward for Cormier who has become one of the UFC’s regular commentators.
Jones has attempted to squash the beef several times since DC’s retirement as a fighter, and a phone call during a fighter meeting showed that Cormier is the one who is still holding onto the angst.
However, the UFC heavyweight champion has gone back to his old trolling ways recently, as he has shown off a new painting of Cormier in his home.
The painting shows Cormier crying following their fight at UFC 214, which at the time Jones was awarded the win, but it was eventually overturned to a no-contest after he failed a drug test.
“That is hilarious! All fun and games guys, that’s not really going up there, but that would be funny,” Jones said in the video whilst showing off the painting of an emotional Cormier.
In the video, Jones captioned it, ‘La Cry De La Pus’, further trolling his former rival.
