Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones set to fight at UFC 214

The UFC booked a light heavyweight title fight between champion Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones for UFC 214 on July 29 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

The bout was announced during a Summer Kickoff news conference on Friday.

UFC president Dana White, who did not attend the news conference, said last November that he lost trust in Jones after multiple incidents and would never headline a show with him again.

"I think that's still undetermined," said the 29-year-old Jones, who is a former light heavyweight champion. "I don't really see what would be a bigger fight over Daniel and I, but if Dana wants to stick to his guns and make me a co-main to prove a point -- ultimately, I think he'll end up losing more money doing that.

"Whether I'm co-main or main, Daniel's getting his (expletive) whooped and the belt is coming home with me."

Jones (22-1) is serving a one-year suspension for a failed drug test. He is eligible to return the first week of July.

Jones was stripped of his light heavyweight championship and suspended by UFC in 2015 after a hit-and-run in New Mexico. Before that, Jones beat Cormier (19-1) by unanimous decision to defend his title at UFC 182.

A rematch between the two was scheduled and scrapped twice, first after Cormier pulled out with a knee injury before UFC 197 last April and again at UFC 200 in July because of Jones' failed drug test leading to his United States Anti-Doping Agency suspension.
