LAS VEGAS -- The UFC 187 post-fight press conference was supposed to be Daniel Cormier's victory lap, his chance to parade in front of the media with his newly won UFC light heavyweight title belt and talk about his victory over Anthony Johnson.
But Ryan Bader was there to make a nuisance of himself, as he had all week long.
Cormier was originally scheduled to meet Bader in the main event of a June UFC Fight Night card in New Orleans. But when Jon Jones was removed from UFC 187 and a spot in the main event for the vacant belt opened up, Cormier outmaneuvered Bader to land the fight.
