Reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will run it back with former division kingpin Jon Jones at the upcoming UFC 214 pay-per-view (PPV) event on Sat., July 29, 2017 inside Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
“DC” and “Bones” were previously slated to throw down at UFC 200 last July; however, the bout was scrapped at the 11th hour after Jones was notified of a failed drug test by United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). As a result, Cormier went on to fight (and defeat) Anderson Silva on short notice.
“Jones,” meanwhile, was hit with a one-year suspension which put Cormier into a title defense against Anthony Johnson at UFC 210, a victory which prompted a dejected “Rumble” to retire.
Sure, there are two more title fights taking place at UFC 214 (see them here and here), but this event — at least from a marketing standpoint — is all about the Cormier-Jones rivalry (and for good reason).
