Jones-Cormier is new main event for UFC 200

The rematch is back on. The fight that was supposed to take place last weekend at UFC 197 is now set for UFC 200 in July as interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will take on lineal light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier at the event in Las Vegas.

Jones and Cormier have had their spats in the past, starting with the press tour for the first go round. Just before UFC 178, Jones and Cormier shoved each other and nearly brawled on the ground floor of the hotel.

After picking up the unanimous decision win over Cormier, Jones was suspended from action for his involvement in a hit-and-run accident in New Mexico and subsequently stripped of his title.
