Jon Jones continues to troll Daniel Cormier ahead of their bout at UFC 197.

In a move that was surely meant to antagonize his opponent, Jones brought his own title belt to his press conference with Cormier on Friday, and was greeted with rousing applause.

Jones defended his UFC light heavyweight championship eight times, but was stripped of his title after being involved in a hit-and-run incident last April. Cormier became the new champion after defeating Anthony Johnson at UFC 187.

In their last bout, Jones defeated Cormier by unanimous decision, and is of the belief that since he never lost in competition, he's the genuine champion.
