As UFC 214 draws nearer on the calendar, the anticipation for the rematch between current light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones begins to take on additional gravity. Yet there’s always a hypothetical nature to a Jones-Cormier fight. They were supposed to meet at UFC 197, until Cormier fell out of the fight with an injury and was replaced by Ovince Saint Preux. Then they were booked to fight at UFC 200, only to have that scotched when it was announced that Jones had failed a USADA-administered out-of-competition drug test (subsequently landing him a one year suspension).
