Cormier V Jones II: How it will go down

UFC 200's main event sees Daniel 'DC' Cormier face Jon 'Bones' Jones for the undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship in the pairs second bout. Jones, last bout was at UFC 197 where he was expected to face Daniel Cormier, but the Olympic wrestler pulled out sighting injury. Ovince Saint Preux jumped at the chance to face Jones and the two battled for the Interim Championship. Jones dominated the bout and comfortably won by decision, although could be accused of some ring rust after a long lay off from the UFC. Jones looked like he was comfortable with the decision victory and Saint Preux sustained a broken forearm half way through the fight after blocking one of Jones' fierce strikes. 
Only Cormier and Swede Alexander Gustaffson can be argued as the only men who have pushed Jones the furthest in his UFC career. Cormier in my opinion doesn't have the beating of Jones and will find it difficult to find a way past Jones who holds a ridiculous height and reach advantage. Jones striking is world class, particularly his vicious elbow strikes. Another underrated aspect of Jones' game is his work off his back and his standing submissions, like we seen against Lyoto Machida. 

Jones takes this one against Cormier for a second time, most likely by unanimous decision
