I think that right now, Cormier probably has three fights left in his career, you know what I mean? And one of those guys is definitely going to be Jon Jones.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, Dana White also answered &#8216;now&#8217; to another high-stakes champion-versus-champion rematch: Flyweight champ Henry Cejudo vs. bantamweight Tj Dillashaw. Cejudo recently defended his title with a first-round TKO of Dillashaw, and now, White seems interested in a rematch at bantamweight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Now,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think we do that fight again at 135 pounds now for the 135-pound title.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you think we&#8217;ll see rematches between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, and TJ Dillashaw and Henry Cejudo in the near future? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><em>BJPENN.COM<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;on 1\/31\/2019.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jon Jones is once again the UFC light heavyweight champion, and as always, one of the most compelling matchups available for him is a rematch with his arch rival Daniel Cormier, who currently holds the UFC heavyweight title.
