Daniel Cormier doesn't want to start training for Jon Jones rematch until 2016

Ever since the reinstatement of Jon Jones to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the world of mixed martial arts (MMA) has been waiting with bated breath for the announcement of a rematch with Daniel Cormier.

Jones has been egging on the "belt sitter" on Twitter, taunting and teasing out his rival in an attempt to goad Cormier into settling their differences sooner, rather than later. It's a fight Cormier says he wants, particularly since he lost their first encounter via unanimous decision at UFC 182 in early January.

But according to an interview Cormier gave to Damon Martin of Fox Sports, "DC" is going to take it easy until the new year.
