Jones, Cormier get into heated exchange on Twitter
In case you didn't know Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier hate each other, they gave everyone on Twitter a reminder.
The exchange was triggered by a Twitter troll who came at Cormier for his controversial weigh-in before his successful title defense against Anthony "Rumble" Johnson at UFC 210.

Cormier initially came in 1.2 pounds overweight, but after a brief disappearance, the light heavyweight champion came back and hit 205 pounds exactly.

Jones, apparently, is dying to shut Cormier up:

Cormier hit back, appearing to revel in his new villainous role, taking a shot at Jones' drug history and current ban for a tainted sex pill:

UFC president Dana White said after UFC 210 that Jones has the option of fighting Cormier for the title or taking a tune-up fight upon his return from suspension in July.
Based on his comments, it appears Jones is itching for the long-awaited rematch.
