Jon Jones hasn't forgotten about UFC 210.

The weigh-ins for that event ended in dramatic fashion, when light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier appeared to hold onto a towel in a last-ditch attempt to beat the scales for his title fight opposite Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. The trick worked, and Cormier went on to successfully defend his belt, but Jones would later refer to the weigh-in as "one of the dirtiest things I've seen in sports."

On Wednesday, Jones took to Instagram to post an image referencing the incident, with hashtags reading "No Shortcuts To Greatness," "Earn it," and "Cheating Asshole."

You can bet Jones will be keeping a close eye on Cormier at the weigh-ins for their UFC 214 championship bout next Saturday.
