Daniel Cormier reacts to Jon Jones' UFC reinstatement: 'This is a good day'

What, were you expecting him to run and hide?

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier lost to Jon Jones at UFC 182, but still ended up with the 205-pound strap when "Bones" was submitted by Johnny Law back in April. Of course, "DC" did have to beat two very tough opponents in the process.

But now the Olympian has a chance to avenge his loss to Jones and prove once and for all that he's more than just a commercial break in the Jones drama. To that end, "DC" praised his longtime rival on Facebook and declared it a "good day" for MMA fans.
