In eight short days, the Ultimate Fighting Championship returns from the Holiday break to kick off 2015, and they’ll be doing so in spectacular fashion.
“UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier” goes down January 3 inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The pay-per-view broadcast is headlined by one of the most anticipated light heavyweight title tilts in octagon history when champion Jon Jones defends his throne against Daniel Cormier.
Given the hoopla surrounding the scrap, the UFC kind of fell short with the card’s official event poster. Regardless, the billboard still gets the job done.
Here is the show’s complete agenda:
