Jones’ long-anticipated return to the Octagon is just over a week away, as the former longtime UFC light heavyweight champion will square off with Alexander Gustafsson in the main event of UFC 232 in Las Vegas with the vacant title up for grabs.
But even the prospect of the rematch of one of the greatest fights in UFC history is starting to take a backseat to the latest flareup of the deepest-rooted rivalry in MMA history.
Jones took to Twitter on Wednesday night to challenge Jones to a light heavyweight title fight after he presumably defeats Gustafsson, a response to comments Cormier made on the Jim Rome Podcast about having a “pinch of salt” worth of PED’s in his system.
