DC blasts Jones in Instagram post: 'You're a cheater and a snitch!'

There's apparently still no love between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones.

In response to an attack on Instagram from Jones on Thursday night, Cormier called his longtime rival "a cheater and a snitch" in his own post on Friday.

So here we go again Jonny boy. First off, if you did nothing wrong and were “innocent“ then you’d have never been suspended. You’ve had to stand before these people and arbitrators so many times it’s insane. So you slipped again, how many times can one man slip? I’ve been tested 70 times and I haven’t slipped once. How do you explain that? And on top of all the cheating you’ve done around UFC 182, UFC 200 and UFC 214 that’s not even the straw that broke the camel’s back. You are actually a SNITCH! You think you’re the only one that’s been offered this deal? No, you’re just the only scumbag low enough to take it! Which one of your teammates did you tell on to get this joke of a punishment from USADA! I thought there was nothing lower than a cheater but it’s not surprising that you show me a whole new level. You’re a cheater and a SNITCH! Get off my page and go do some coke, or steroids or whatever you losers do in your spare time. #doublechamp

Jones accused Cormier of avoiding calls from the United States Doping Agency "because the second you hear them say I'm innocent is the instant the illusion you've created shatters."

The former light heavyweight champion added that his longtime rival is haunted by the fact that Jones had won both of their previous encounters - though the second win was ruled a no contest when Jones tested positive for a banned substance.

@dc_mma You mad, Bro? USADA keeps calling but you’re not going to pick up the phone because the second you hear them say I’m innocent is the instant the illusion you’ve created shatters. Then it’s all real AGAIN and that’s not a step you’re willing to take. Instead you wrap yourself in your fake belt and keep telling yourself the shin that slammed into your face and the performance that buried you once again was enhanced. The fact you can’t beat me kills you and it stops you from picking up that phone. If you answer it then the nightmare becomes reality. Then again, maybe you do pick up, accept the truth that you were defeated by a superior fighter and that gives you peace. Or it goes another way and you get motivated to try a third time and that will save me the hassle of having to dig you up before I bury you. So now that the illusion you’ve built is crumbling and the “violation was not intended nor could it have enhanced the athlete’s performance” you still have to tell yourself something yeah? And while there was “absolutely no intention to use prohibited substances,” it was my intention to kick your ass once again. Mission accomplished. Pick up the phone #letstalkaboutit

The UFC is apparently working on a fight between Jones and Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 232 on Dec. 29 for the former's return to the Octagon. He is eligible to compete again on Oct. 28 following a 15-month ban for a failed drug test.

Prior to targeting a rematch between Jones and Gustafsson, the UFC reportedly pursued a trilogy bout between Jones and Cormier at heavyweight, but both fighters wanted a third fight at light heavyweight.
