Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier set for Sept. 23 disciplinary hearing after brawl

The UFC had said there would be ramifications for Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier after their brawl at an early-August press conference, but unless said discipline was kept private, it appears the Nevada State Athletic Commission may beat them to the punch.

The NSAC will hold a disciplinary hearing for the two light heavyweights on Sept. 23 to address the incident, which took place on Aug. 4 in Las Vegas. NSAC chairman Francisco Aguilar confirmed the hearing to ESPN but would not discuss any potential action.

Unfortunately for fight fans, this mostly stands as a reminder that we were supposed to be less than two weeks away from seeing the bitter enemies throw down for the UFC light heavyweight title. Instead, an injury to Jones – and a minor injury to Cormier he says he would have fought through – have caused the fight to be pushed back to UFC 182 on Jan. 3.

Just ... what, 14 more weeks? Yeah, not getting impatient at all over here.
