Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier seemingly put their differences aside, but the UFC heavyweight champion continues to troll his former foe.
The names of Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier will forever be linked as they fought each other twice in one of the greatest rivalries in the history of the sport.
Their feud was extremely bitter and during media day before their scheduled fight at UFC 178, they broke out in a huge brawl that increased their hatred for each other. However, that was just the beginning of several years of torment.

Jon Jones shows off a new Daniel Cormier painting in his home
It seemed like the two UFC greats had put most of their differences aside so they could both continue their work with the promotion.
Of course, 'Bones' is still active and rules the heavyweight division, which makes things relatively difficult for Cormier, who has become one of the UFC's regular commentators.
Jones has tried to take the fight several times since DC's retirement as a fighter, and a phone call during a fighter meeting revealed that Cormier is the one still holding on to the fear.
However, the UFC heavyweight champion has returned to his old troll ways lately, as he has shown off a new painting of Cormier at his home.
The painting shows Cormier crying after their fight at UFC 214, which Jones was awarded the win at the time but was ultimately overturned to a no-contest after he failed a drug test.
“That's hilarious! All fun and games guys, that's not really what that's about, but that would be funny,” Jones said in the video as he showed off the painting of an emotional Cormier.
In the video, Jones captioned it “La Cry De La Pus,” further slamming his former rival.

Joe Rogan comments on a possible title unification fight between Jones and Aspinall
This isn't the first time Jones has returned to his trolling ways lately, as he has continually gone back and forth with fans over a potential title unification fight against Tom Aspinall.
'Bones' continues to troll fans by stating that he is not interested in fighting the interim champion, but some fans and pundits think he is playing the game and trolling Aspinall.
Following his recent victory, the heavyweight champion stated that he needs 'F*ck you money' to continue fighting Aspinall, with negotiations for that fight apparently now underway.
UFC icon Joe Rogan recently expressed his excitement about that fight and admitted he has one question about Aspinall.
“I want to know (what would happen). Here's the question with Aspinall. What happens to Aspinall in the second round?” he asked on a recent episode of his podcast.
Aspinall currently has the shortest average fight time in the promotion, with all nine fights under the UFC banner ending in the first round, leaving fans extremely excited for that unification fight.
