VIDEO: Jon Jones reminds Cormier who the real light heavyweight champion is
Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier are at it again on social media.
The latest shot fired is in response to Cormier posting (and then deleting) a photoshopped image on Instagram comparing Jon Jones to beloved "Chappelle's Show" cocaine enthusiast Tyrone Biggums:

Jones took to Instagram himself Wednesday to poke fun at the fact that Cormier only became champion after Jones was stripped of the title and suspended:
Another drug joke. Very clever. That must have took a lot of thinking. Hey, I got a clever idea. How about this weekend we all pretend that you're the actual light heavyweight champion of the world and I let you hold my belt.
The UFC light heavyweight title was vacated when Jones plead guilty to a hit-and-run charge resulting in a sentence of 18 months' probation along with public appearances and charity work. In his absence, Cormier defeated Anthony Johnson at UFC 187 to become the champion.
In their first meeting last January, Jones defeated Cormier by unanimous decision to retain his title, but tested positive for cocaine (which isn't banned out of competition) in his pre-fight drug test. The two are set for a rematch at UFC 197 on April 23.
