White: If ready, Jones to rematch Cormier at UFC 214
Jayne Kamin-Oncea / USA TODAY
Jon Jones may be picking up right where he left off.
With Jones's year long suspension set to end in July, UFC president Dana White is offering the former champion a rematch against Daniel Cormier for the light heavyweight title at UFC 214 on July 29 in Anaheim, according to ESPN's Brett Okamoto.
"If Jon Jones is ready to fight on July 29, we'll see the Jones versus Cormier rematch, finally," said White.
If Jones is not ready to jump back into a championship match after a year layoff, White will book Cormier against Jimi Manuwa, at either UFC 213 on June 8 or UFC 214.
Jones was booked to face Cormier last July at UFC 200 but was pulled off the card and suspended for a failed drug test.
