Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones will have the opportunity to regain the title he lost outside the octagon at UFC 214, on July 29, against his biggest rival, the current owner of the belt Daniel Cormier. A few weeks before the rematch with DC, “Bones” updated his fans through social media and promised that the duel will be a “watershed” in his career.

When talking about training for the second fight with Cormier, Jones also spoke about his current weight, ensuring that the cut is going well and that he will easily reach 93 kg. limits of the light heavyweight division, in addition to thanking the fans for their support.
“Good afternoon everyone, this is light heavyweight champion Jon Bones Jones. I'm just here to say hello. And give a quick thank you to all my fans, all the haters and everyone who is excited for this event. I want you to know that I feel good, my weight is low, my spirits are high, and my health is good. My body is in the right place. I'm very excited. This will be a turning point in my life And I just wanted to thank everyone. Thank you all and I’ll see you in a few weeks,” he commented. Jon Jones in a video posted on his Instagram.
Jones and Cormier fought in early 2015, when “Bones” was still the champion. On that occasion, he beat DC by unanimous decision, keeping his belt. However, after problems with the police, the UFC stripped him of his title, and Cormier became the new champion with a victory over Anthony Johnson. The rematch was scheduled for UFC 200, in July last year, but Jones was caught in an anti-doping test days before and suspended for a year.
