Daniel Cormier (Dave Mandel/Sherdog)

UFC 200: Cormier vs. Jones 2 Pre-Fight Press Conference

On Saturday, July 9, the UFC will host UFC 200: Cormier vs. Jones 2 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

In the night’s main event, light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will once again face the only man to defeat him, former titleholder Jon Jones. Jones never lost the belt, but was stripped of the title after multiple run-ins with the law. During his absence, Cormier was crowned champion, submitting Anthony “Rumble” Johnson and edging Alexander Gustafsson. Jones captured interim gold against Ovince Saint Preux earlier this year after an injury to Cormier delayed the anticipated rematch.

The co-main event features the return of former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. The current WWE superstar will take on knockout artist Mark Hunt.
