Jones confirms he will be at UFC 210 to watch Cormier-Johnson title fight

One deeply invested party will be in attendance at UFC 210 when Daniel Cormier defends his light heavyweight title against Anthony Johnson.

In a conversation with a fan on Twitter, former champion Jon Jones stated that he is planning to be in Buffalo on the weekend of the event:

While he doesn't explicitly say that he will be at the KeyBank Center, it's fair to assume that the Rochester native isn't making the trip just to watch the show at a nearby wing joint.

The 29-year-old Jones has been waiting for a chance to regain the championship that he never lost ever since it was stripped from his waist following his involvement in an April 2015 hit-and-run incident. In Jones' absence, Cormier won and defended the vacated belt.

Jones holds a win over Cormier and the two were booked to rematch at UFC 200 last year, but Jones was removed from the card after being flagged for a USADA violation. He received a one-year suspension and will be eligible to compete in July 2017.

Regardless of who comes out on top in the UFC 210 main event, you can bet that Jones will be ready to get up close and personal with the winner.
