\"Cormier<\/a><\/p>\n

UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is scheduled to defend his title for the first time against Alexander Gustafsson.<\/p>\n

Even with that fight scheduled, Cormier told MMAJunkie<\/a> that if former champ Jon Jones was cleared to fight again before the Gustafsson happened, then he’d tell the UFC to book a rematch with Jones instead.<\/p>\n

Here’s what he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Gus and I are scheduled to fight and Jones was back and Jones was eligible to compete, I would ask (the UFC). I would ask if there\u2019s any way we could get this rematch done, and Alex fight someone else.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the fight that you want. Any guy in the division would give you the same answer to that question.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

So what do you guys think, if Jones does return sometime soon, do you think he should get the immediate rematch no matter what’s taking place in the division??
