In the fallout of UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones being stripped of his title last week, the new realities for everybody else are setting in. Namely, that Anthony Johnson -- who was to challenge Jones at UFC 187 on May 23 – is now facing Daniel Cormier, who is getting a title shot mulligan after losing to Jones at UFC 182 in January.
With Jones now out indefinitely has he deals in legal matters and gets his life back on track after last week’s hit-and-run incident, the reconfiguration of the 205-pound division is underway.
