Picking & Grinning: UFC 214 ‘Cormier vs. Jones 2’




Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones will bring their rivalry to a boil once more on Saturday, when they battle over the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight crown in the UFC 214 main event at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. They first met in January 2015 at UFC 182, where Jones took a unanimous decision and handed Cormier his only professional defeat. Their dislike for one another has only grown since.
