The UFC on Saturday night released the official trailer for UFC 214 to promote the highly anticipated rematch between light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones, and it did not sugar-coat a thing.
The 3 1/2-minute clip titled “Tame Your Demons” (which you can watch above) doesn’t hold back and perfectly recounts Jones’ checkered past as a former champion with a history of drug addiction and trouble with the law and a year-long suspension, all leading up to his upcoming bout with arch-rival Cormier.
The brutal honesty resonated strongly with various MMA media members.
UFC 214 takes place July 29 at Honda Center in Anaheim. Cormier (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) vs. Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) headlines the pay-per-view main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
The rematch between Cormier, No. 2 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light-heavyweight rankings, and No. 1-ranked Jones is one of the most anticipated in MMA history.
