Doesn't matter to Daniel Cormier, he'll defend title vs. Jon Jones or Jimi Manuwa at UFC 214

UFC President Dana White clarified the light heavyweight title picture Monday when he said Jon Jones and champion Daniel Cormier would rematch at UFC 214 if Jones was ready to go by then.

Cormier (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) posted his response today on Instagram, saying it doesn’t matter to him if it’s Jones or Jimi Manuwa — he’ll be ready to defend his title July 29 in Anaheim, Calif.

July 29th I will be in Anaheim and I'm bring my @UFC title with me. The question is which one of em gon get it. Is it gonna be Jones or Manuwa? #showmemyopponent #andstill #weareaka #dcchampion

It’s been a wild time for Cormier since his submission win over Anthony Johnson at UFC 210 earlier this month, full of trash talk directed at both Manuwa (17-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC). Hell, the drama with Jones started even before Cormier’s win when Jones held a press conference the day before UFC 210, ripping the the champ for his weigh-in controversy and encouraging him to “enjoy his last moments with the belt.”

In addition to his octagon outburst after the win, Cormier ripped both Jones and Manuwa during his post-fight press conference. Since then, Cormier and Manuwa have engaged in some ridiculous Twitter sparring as “Poster Boy” continues to call out Cormier and push for his title shot.

Guess we’ll find out soon enough who it’s going to be. Cormier is prepared either way.
