Jon Jones is prepared to return to Ultimate after being away for 15 months due to punishment from the United States Anti-Doping Agency. 'Bones' will face Alexander Gustafson in the main fight of UFC 232, December 29th in Las Vegas. In their reunion, the fighters will compete for the light heavyweight belt. Already thinking about his future, the former champion challenged Daniel Cormier to conclude the trilogy before his arch-rival's retirement.

Through his Twitter, Jones proposed donating US$100 to charity if Cormier agrees to face him again.
“Fight me one more time and prove that you are the champion. I will donate $100 to a charity in San Diego if you accept,” Jon posted.
'Bones' provoked Daniel by stating that the only true double UFC champion is Conor McGregor. Because the organization took away Cormier's light heavyweight belt only with the possibility of his return.
"Conor McGregor was a true double champion, the whole world knows his claim is a joke. What proud 'double champion' just vacates his belt because someone else returns to the sport? You are more than welcome to be my first title defense,” 'Bones' wrote.
The fighters faced each other on two occasions: January 2015 at UFC 182 and July 2017 during UFC 214. In both clashes Jones beat his rival, but Jon was caught in an anti-doping test. Because of this, Cormier won and retained the light heavyweight belt.
Fight me one more time and prove you're actually the champ champ. I'll donate $100,000 to a charity in San Diego if you accept. Conor McGregor was an actual double Champ, the whole world knows his claim is a freaking joke. You're more than welcome to be my first title defense

“Pinch of salt, no pinch of salt. You still had steroids in your system in a fist fight,” Cormier stated. “Not cool.”
