The fight was originally scheduled for last sSaturday, at UFC 197, but Cormier withdrew with an injury.
Ovince Saint Preux stepped in at the last time and Jones got the unanimous decision win after five rounds to get his provisory belt.
Jones and Cormier have one of the nastiest rivalries in the UFC, with numerous altercations and insane badmouthing.
They fought once at UFC 182, when Jones came out with a unanimous decision win.
