Phil Davis responds to Jon Jones' going-away messages: 'It sounds like I got under his skin'

That Phil Davis vs. Jon Jones matchup isn't happening any time soon. But the war of words between the two light heavyweights is still going strong.

Jones, the UFC light heavyweight champion, poked fun at Davis last week after finding out Davis was leaving the UFC for Bellator MMA. Jones tweeted that maybe Davis' "Mr. Wonderful" nickname will "come into play now" and also called him "Mr. JV" on a Google Hangout with Andrei Arlovski.

Maybe the whole wonderful thing will come into play now https://t.co/xRn7H9wqQl

Davis laughed when host Ariel Helwani told him what Jones said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour.
