Jones-Gustafsson for the light heavyweight title will still take place September 27 on pay-per-view. The exact location of the fight has yet to be determined. "Bones" defeated "The Mauler" via decision last year and followed that up with a decision win over Glover Teixeira.

Meanwhile, another rematch – this one between TJ Dillashaw and Renan Barao for the bantamweight belt – will take place August 30 at UFC 177 from Sacramento. Dillashaw won the title from Barao earlier this year, becoming the first member of Team Alpha Male's camp to secure UFC gold.
