\"Jon<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s just days after Daniel Cormier beat Anthony Johnson for the UFC light-heavyweight title, but the Jon Jones talk has already started boiling up.<\/p>\n

Even Cormier can’t keep himself from taking jabs at the former champ, as if he was trying to build up for a rematch down the road. While talking on The MMA Hour<\/a>, Cormier said he absolutely hopes Jones was watching the fight and saw him get the belt.<\/p>\n

“I hope he was (watching). Can you imagine him sitting there watching me, of all people, get the belt? If the roles were reversed, I would be going insane if I had to watch him do that, if I were in his situation. He doesn’t want to see me win, he doesn’t want to see me carry what he probably feels is still his title — which it isn’t, it’s mine. He doesn’t want to see that. But I don’t know, maybe Jon is in so much of a better place now after going through the issues that he has, that he’s probably let everything go. But we will see, I guess.”<\/em><\/p>\n

So, I guess this will probably be used for all the previews ahead of their second fight right?<\/p>\n
