Newly minted light heavyweight title contender Daniel Cormier is feeling like a new man now that he’s fighting champ Jon Jones for the belt. Despite previously announcing a pair of knee injuries that would prompt surgery, Cormier (15-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) said he is 100 percent ready to fight Jones (20-1 MMA, 14-1 UFC) at UFC 178 on Sept. 27 in Las Vegas. “I was supposed to meet with doctor this past Wednesday to discuss a date where we could either do the surgery or go forward without it,” he told MMAjunkie Radio on Thursday.
