Jon Jones Takes Shot At Daniel Cormier
Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones is preparing to challenge current champion Daniel Cormier for the gold in a rematch at UFC 182.
Jones decided it would be fun to take a shot at the champion and the controversy surrounding his UFC 210 weigh-in.
The former champion took aim via Twitter:
All the discipline and hard work is definitely paying off, was a mean 217lbs today after practice. #NoShortcutsToGreatness #CheatingAsshole pic.twitter.com/YpMd22a0ky

Cormier was on the receiving end of a lot of criticism during the UFC 210 weigh-in when he used the “towel trick” to apparently make weight for his title defense against Anthony Johnson.
UFC 214 takes place on Saturday, July 29 from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California with Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, with a post-show podcast to follow.
