While we are now less than one month out from UFC 197, where Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier will have their highly anticipated rematch for the UFC light heavyweight championship, it appears there is a chance the champ is injured. A report emerged from TalkMMA on Twitter that DC was spotted at a wrestling tournament barely able to talk. While this could simply be due to soreness from a tough training session, the report pinpoints DC’s left leg as the source of pain.

MMA media members are having a tough time with facing the consequences of simply doing their job and picking who they think will win the big matches in the UFC when the question comes up. Recently, Jon Anik who is a UFC commentator and familiar face to the promotion made a lot of noise when he picked Conor McGregor to win the main event at UFC 196 against Nate Diaz. Anik went and said that if Diaz won, he would get a “209” tattoo, which is Diaz’s hometown area code. Diaz was not happy about Anik’s pick and comment and made sure to remind Anik of his promise after Diaz was able to submit McGregor in the second round of their bout.

Earlier this month prior to UFC 196 the UFC previewed the next several months of events with the ‘UFC Unstoppable’ press conference, which featured several fighters that will be headlining events in the near future. The majority of the press conference however centered around Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, who ahead of their UFC 197 rematch, continued to throw verbal blows at one another. One thing that stuck out about the pair’s verbal exchanges was that when Cormier would get the microphone to talk, the audience would ‘boo’ him.

Rashad Evans and Daniel Cormier may have become friends through their analyst roles on Fox Sports 1, however the way Evans sees it, if Daniel Cormier were to lose to Jon Jones in their rematch at UFC 197, DC might have to retire. In the pair’s first meeting, Jones dominated Cormier for 5 full rounds at UFC 182 to retain his UFC light heavyweight championship. Following that fight, Jones was stripped of the light heavyweight championship following a hit-and-run incident.
