UFC PPV Events Season 23 Episode 8 UFC 214: Cormier vs. Jones 2
- July 29, 2017
The highly anticipated UFC 214 event is finally here, featuring a highly anticipated rematch between former light heavyweight champions Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones. These two bitter rivals first faced off back in 2015, with Jones emerging victorious via unanimous decision. However, that decision was later reversed after Jones tested positive for banned substances and was stripped of his title.
Now, two years later, Cormier and Jones are set to square off once again, with the winner taking home the light heavyweight championship belt. The tension between these two fighters has been palpable in the lead up to this fight, with both men exchanging verbal jabs and threatening to knock each other out.
But Cormier vs. Jones 2 is just one of several highly anticipated bouts on the UFC 214 card. In the co-main event, welterweight champion Tyron Woodley defends his title against Demian Maia. Woodley has been on a tear as of late, winning his last three fights in impressive fashion. Maia, on the other hand, is one of the most dangerous submission artists in the UFC and will look to take Woodley down to the ground and finish the fight.
Also on the card is a women's featherweight championship bout between Cris Cyborg and Tonya Evinger. Cyborg is one of the most dominant fighters in the UFC, with a record of 17-1 and a no-contest due to a failed drug test. Evinger, meanwhile, is a veteran of the sport who has fought in several different weight classes and will look to pull off the upset.
Other notable fights on the UFC 214 card include a light heavyweight bout between Jimi Manuwa and Volkan Oezdemir, a featherweight bout between Ricardo Lamas and Jason Knight, and a bantamweight bout between Aljamain Sterling and Renan Barao.
