In May, at the UFC Summer Kickoff presser in Dallas, all eyes were on Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier in anticipation of their July 29 rematch at UFC 214. Unsurprisingly, the pair picked up their right where they left off, with a snappy, sniping repartee.

CORMIER VS JONES 2: EXTENDED PREVIEW

The rematch was originally scheduled at UFC 197 on April 23, 2016, but Cormier pulled out with a foot injury. It was then rescheduled for UFC 200 on July 9, 2016, but then Jones was suspended for a doping violation ahead of the fight.

“I took him down, I don't know, like five times to zero. I'm sorry I'm being classless right now. I do not like DC, and this is why I'm being this way.”
