Let the trash talk commence.
When it was announced that Herb Dean would be officiating the highly anticipated rematch between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, the current belt-holder was
not impressed at all with announcement.
UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier expressed his concern over Dean getting the gig for the rematch, explaining that he was not a fan of how he officiated their first fight at UFC 182.
Jon Jones took a hard-fought unanimous decision over Cormier that time around and DC reckons Dean allowed the pair to remain in a clinch for an extended period of time, which favoured Jones. His complaint fell on deaf ears, however, as Dean will still be reffing the rematch.
Jones heard Cormier's complaint loud and clear and decided to respond to the champ on Twitter.

The pair are set to slug it out in the main event of UFC 197 which takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 23.
