UFC 214: Cormier vs Jones II

Main Card

Daniel Cormier (C) vs. Jon Jones LHW
Tyron Woodley (C) vs Demian Maia WW
Cristiane Justino vs. Tonya Evinger Women's FW for vacated title
Robbie Lawler vs Donald Cerrone WW
Jimi Manuwa vs Volkan Oezdemir

(C) - Denotes reigning champion
All title matches are 5x5 minute rounds including the vacant women's featherweight title. The rest are 3x5 minute's

TV: BT Sports 2 - 3am

One of the best cards of the year, the long awaited rematch, Cyborg looking to reign supreme and David Haye's possible future boxing opponent Jimi Manuwa in action.

I think given Jones' multiple extended suspensions and lack of in ring action really gives Cormier a better chance than people have him. Tyron Woodley needs an impressive win after a dud fight, Cyborg will be looking to continue her usual rampage.

Again though, we may see another boxing crossover here. If Manuwa wins it'll be interesting to see if he brings Haye's name into it. Baring in mind Manuwa has been knocked out twice against fairly mediocre opposition, he packs a punch but he's in dreamland trying to bang with Haye in a boxing ring, not to mention making the jump to heavyweight, one leg or not I doubt he stands much of a chance.
