For the fourth time in the last couple of years, it looks like Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier are on a collision course to meet. With Cormier having defending his light heavyweight title against Anthony Johnson at UFC 210 this past weekend, Jones — who was cage side for the fight — would seem to be logical next opponent.
Yet, as MMA fans know by now, it’s complicated. It always is.
Jones is serving out his one-year, USADA-mandated suspension for violating the banned substance policy, which prevented the two from meeting at UFC 200 just days before the fight at UFC 200.
