UFC 200 on July 9 features one of the biggest title fights in the UFC, as light-heavyweight champion of the world Daniel Cormier takes on interim champ Jon Jones for a second time.

It's a mouth-watering title unification battle that looks set to capture the imagination of fight fans around the world, as the UFC's biggest grudge match gets a second chapter.

The pair initially met at UFC 182 in January 2015, where their rivalry boiled over with a brawl during a photocall in the lobby of the MGM Grand hotel.

Jones won the battle on fight night, beating Cormier by unanimous decision to retain his title.

But after a hit-and-run incident landed him in hot water with the authorities, Jones was stripped of his title, as Cormier became the UFC's now king at 205lbs with victory over Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson.

Now Jones is back, having shaken off the Octagon rust in a laboured, but successful, interim title fight with Ovince Saint-Preux at UFC 197 in April this year.
