Rampage Jackson has refused to back down in the escalating war of words between himself and Jon 'Bones' Jones' camp over spying allegations.

Jones' manager, Malki Kawa, came out earlier in the week to rubbish allegations that Jones - the light-heavyweight champion - had a spy in Jackson's training camp, reporting back on his progress and condition, explaining that he had heard about a hand injury that Jackson suffered on Twitter.

Jackson says he made up the injury to see if information was being leaked, and has questioned why only Kawa seemed to pick up the news from the social networking site.

"Come on. Think about it. If that was on Twitter, that would have been big news," Jackson told MMA Junkie. "Me pulling out of the fight with Jon Jones? That would have been big news already.

"So you can just tell that he's lying, he's full of s*** and he's dumb."

Jones and Jackson are set to go head-to-head inside the Octagon at UFC 135.
