Check out the current fight card for UFC 197, which features a rematch between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones.
With UFC 196 in the books, the promotion looks forward to their next major event on April 23rd. At UFC 197, long-time rivals Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones will renew acquaintances in the octagon, meeting for the second time. But this time it’s Cormier wearing the gold at not Jones, after Jones was stripped due to out-of-octagon drama. Cormier has won the belt and defended it once since then, and will now look to even the score with the man known as Bones.
That is not the only title fight on the card though – dominant flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson will also put his belt on the line against what could be his toughest opponent to date, Olympic wrestling gold medalist Henry Cejudo.
Elsewhere, former lightweight champ Anthony Pettis will look to bounce back from a couple of losses when he takes on vaunted striker Edson Barboza, while middleweights Rafael Natal and Robert Whittaker will look to break into the upper echelon of the division with a win.
