UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier viewing and schedule guide
It's no secret that UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and top contender Daniel Cormier are not the best of friends.
The heated rivalry came to a head back in August when Jones and Cormier engaged in a pre-fight brawl on stage just seconds after squaring off for the first time in front of fans and media in Las Vegas.
Now after months of waiting the two fighters are finally ready to face off with UFC gold up for grabs as Jones and Cormier square off in the main event for UFC 182.
In addition to Jones vs. Cormier, Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone looks to keep his win streak alive after an undefeated 2014 when he faces upstart contender Myles Jury in the co-main event.
