And new! Well, sort of.
Jon Jones finally reclaimed his spot atop the light heavyweight division Saturday night thanks to a knockout win over Daniel Cormier. The fight, which was the main event of the UFC 214 card at Honda Center, lived up to the billing — and then some.
These two rivals were pretty even through the first two rounds, but Jones landed a huge kick in the third round and followed with some brutal punches to secure the victory at the 3:01 mark.
