More than a year after Jon Jones defeated Daniel Cormier by unanimous decision at UFC 182 to defend his light heavyweight title, the two are slated for a rematch on April 23 in Las Vegaswith Cormier now in possession of the belt, according to MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani.
UFC confirmed the tilt on Twitter on Saturday night:
Jones was stripped of his light heavyweight belt last April and suspended indefinitely due to his involvement in a felony hit-and-run incident in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The 28-year-old didn't serve jail time, but he was ordered to serve up to 18 months of supervised probation, per MMAJunkie.
