Trenutni šampion UFC-ove poluteške kategorije Daniel Cormier i bivši šampion iste te kategorije Jon Jones baš i nisu u najboljim odnosima i puno toga vuče ka tome da će se njih dvoje boriti po drugi put uskoro. Njih dvoje su se suočili na “UFC 182” kada je Jones pobedio jednoglasnom odlukom sudija. Trebali su da odrade revanš na UFC200 prošle godine u julu mesecu ali je Jones pao na doping testu par dana uoči te borbe. 

Cormier je izjavio za “The MMA Hour” i Ariel Helwania:

“I’ve gotten to a point in my life to where this guy has no control over me anymore. If he can’t never fight, that’s on him. I’ve got three gold UFC titles, I’ve got everything else, my family, my money, my jobs for the future, everything.

I don’t need that guy, that guy needs to fight and he needs to come back to fight me. This thing doesn’t define me as a human being. I think Jon Jones, he needs to be Jon Jones the fighter because there is nothing else.”
