Rashad Evans has used Twitter to take a swipe at UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones, continuing the feud between the rivals.

Jones posted a picture on his Twitter account to reveal his training progress ahead of a bout with Rampage Jackson at UFC 135.

"219lbs and battle ready," Jones wrote, which attracted a mocking response from Evans. "Hand on the hip! U go girl! Go "Battle"! U look fierce like Bruno!!" he tweeted.

Evans, who stopped Tito Ortiz in his most recent outing, is expected to land himself a bout against Jones at some point in the future.
