Jon Jones’ return fight is set. And it’s a runback of one of the greatest battles in MMA history - for the UFC light heavyweight title.
Jones, who has not fought in more than 14 months, will meet Alexander Gustafsson in the main event of UFC 232 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Dec. 29. MMA Fighting confirmed a Wednesday report by ESPN.
Cormier, who has been holding both the heavyweight and light heavyweight championships, will be stripped of the 205-pound belt, as he focuses on his upcoming heavyweight title defense against Derrick Lewis at UFC 230, and the belt will go to the winner of Jones and Gustafsson.
