The worst kept secret in MMA has been finally made official, and Jon Jones will make his UFC comeback against Daniel Cormier in a seriously exciting title bout.

AND
Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson will defend his flyweight title against Henry Cejudo as the co-main event.
Cejudo is an Olympic goal medal winning wrestler and boasts a professional record of 10-0 having gone 4-0 in the UFC since December 2014. All four of his wins have come via decision, so Johnson faces a tough opponent as he looks to extend his UFC winning streak to 10.
That's right! TWO title fights on #UFC197 card! ???????? pic.twitter.com/ZEqpmc0bB2
