Jon Jones on giving Daniel Cormier the finger: 'It was just me being a jerk'

Jon Jones is really embracing the villain role in his feud with UFC Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier. After picking up a unanimous decision over Ovince Saint Preux in his long-awaited return to the octagon — a fight Cormier called for the PPV broadcast — Jones found his rival in the crowd and flipped him off.

Jones, by his own admission, did not have much of a reason to do so.

Jones and Cormier have a history of getting into it on camera. The two were scheduled to fight on Saturday night but Cormier had to pull out after suffering an injury in training. Jones defeated Cormier by unanimous decision in January of last year but was stripped of his belt after his involvement in a hit-and-run incident.
