What a wild turn of events ...
As a result of the shocking announcement on FOX Sports Live tonight that Jon Jones was stripped of his Light Heavyweight title and suspended indefinitely, a new UFC 187 main event has been booked.
Daniel Cormier, who lost a unanimous decision to Jones at UFC 182 in January, will step in to face Anthony Johnson for the now-vacant 205-pound title inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 23, 2015.
"Cormier, as soon as he heard it, said put me in," said company president Dana White.
