UFC 200 is just another fight for Jones, hatred for Cormier fading

The rivalry between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier may have peaked. For years, both men have traded insults in interviews and on social media, taunting face-to-face at weigh-ins, staredowns, and even inside the Octagon.

UFC 182, which saw both men battle for the light heavyweight championship in 2015, only seemed to intensify things. Jones walked away victorious, retaining his belt for the eighth time and mocking 'DC' in the process. 'Bones', however, was soon stripped of the title after a hit-and-run incident in April, last year and Cormier was crowned the new champion after submitting Anthony Johnson at UFC 187.
