UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will defend his 205-pound title for the second time in a rematch against No. 1-contender Anthony Johnson. The winner will likely go on to face former champion and former pound-for-pound king Jon Jones.
Cormier and Jones have already faced off once before with Jones taking home a unanimous decision victory at UFC 182. The two were supposed to rematch last July at UFC 200, but Jones was forced to withdraw after failing a drug test. He then received a suspension from USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) that will keep him out of action until this upcoming July.
As it turns out, âBonesâ will be in attendance at UFC 210 and Cormier recently issued him a warning:
âHe better not come in my cage after I win. Heâs not welcome in there,â Cormier said on Thursday (Via FOX Sports). âHeâs still suspended. When heâs eligible to fight then he can walk in the cage but if he dares to step into that Octagon, something bad will happen.â
Continuing on, âDCâ said that if he were in Jonesâ shoes, he wouldnât even attend the event, which is taking place in Buffalo, New York, not too far from where Jones grew up in Rochester, New York:
âThis is where heâs from, I get it, but if it was me and I was in his situation, I wouldnât be here,â Cormier said.
At the end of the day, Cormier admitted that itâs âsadâ what Jones has put himself through, but he also said that heâs strictly focused on Johnson:
âThe guy is the most talented human being Iâve ever competed against. Heâs so good in every aspect of fighting but for him to have done the things heâs done to limit the history that he was making itâs crazy. Itâs sad,â Cormier said about Jones. âBut at the end of the day, I have to worry about myself and I have to worry about Anthony Johnson.â
