Taking care of legal matters outside of the cage, former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones caught wind of Daniel Cormier’s decision that after a busy 2015 fight campaign, he planned to take some time off.
Jones was less than impressed by his former rivals decision.
Take as much time as you want, the fire inside of me won't be dying down anytime soon. #AndStill

Jones was stripped of the 205-pound title after his hit-and-run accident, a title that Cormier promptly claimed.
Courmier took to Twitter and fired back, promising Jones that a championship rematch would take place in a matter of time, as D.C. lost a decision to Jones back at UFC 182 in January and has made it clear that he wants to get “Bones” Jones back into the Octagon.
I will take my time. I've been fighting against the best in the world not dealing with nonsense. Our time is coming. #growup #urnotakid
