11 days.
It’s been some time since there’s been a rematch as hotly anticipated as the one which will take place between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones at UFC 214.
On July 29, the two greatest light heavyweights of all time will do battle for the second time with pride and the UFC 205lbs title on the line.
It could be argued that the ever-brimming bad blood between Jones and Cormier has turned the feud into the most vicious in mixed martial arts history, with a full three years of trash talk against one another under their belts.

Even during Jones’ extended spell away from the Octagon and Cormier’s string of successful title defences, the pair have been on a collision course for one another.
We’ve seen brawls at press conferences, countless promos and cancelled rematches along the way but, presuming tragedy doesn’t strike, it will all go down at the end of this month in California.
The week building up to the grudge rematch will be filled with tension and shit talk, as both men up their attempts to promote the event, but ‘DC’ is well on his way to hyping the fight.
The 38-year-old, whose only MMA defeat came at the hands of ‘Bones’ in 2015, took to Instagram on Monday night to issue a tirade against his fiercest rival, calling on a line used by UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor last week and referencing Jones’ fondness for sexual enhancement pills in the process.
“And they say I’m obsessed,” Cormier wrote alongside screenshots of Jones’ social media posts about the defending champion.

“Dance for me boy, keep commenting on all my shit. Watch me work. Show those insecurities.
“In your moment of judgement you pay close attention to the one that’s handing out the punishment.
“You got two weeks. Play my game! P.S You have a limp Dick and Horrible leg Genetics.”
