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 this Saturday night (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.
Also profiled in the “Countdown to UFC 214” video, conveniently embedded above, reigning welterweight champion Tyron Woodley defends his 170-pound strap against jiu-jitsu ace Demian Maia, while former Strikeforce and Invicta FC featherweight champion Cristiane Justino collides with Tonya Evinger for the vacant 145-pound belt.
Good times.
