Es una rivalidad que va más allá del octágono. Se caen mal, y por fin tendrán chance de volverse a topar nuevamente.

La segunda parte del combate entre Daniel Cormier y Jon Jones es probablemente el más esperado en años en UFC por el odio que se profesan y que los ha llevado a darse de golpes fuera de las octágono.

Es el pleito estelar será esta noche en el UFC 214 que se realiza en el Honda Center de Anaheim, California.

Cormier, de 38 años y quien tiene marca de 19-1, es el actual monarca Semicompleto del UFC y busca vengarse de la única derrota que tiene en su historial, misma que le propinó el “Bones” Jones, de 30 años, por decisión unánime en el UFC 182 en enero de 2015.

“Soy el campeón y lo voy a demostrar. Hubo cosas en el pasado que no cuadraron, pero es hora de ganar y dejar eso atrás”, apuntó esta semana Daniel, quien hizo referencia a la primer derrota que tuvo ante Jones, pues dio a entender que el rival habría utilizado sustancias prohibidas.

Curiosamente, el pleito Jones-Cormier II se iba a realizar en el UFC 200, pero el combate se canceló pues “Bones” dio positivo en un examen antidopaje en dos sustancias que bloqueaban la producción de estrógenos.

“Voy a volver a ganar, no habrá otro chance, a reafirmar el triunfo”, dijo Jones, quien tiene marca en AMM de 22-1.
