Daniel Cormier vs. Alexander Gustafsson delayed due to Cormier injury

Daniel Cormier will still defend his UFC light heavyweight title for the first time against Alexander Gustafsson, but it won't take place at UFC 191 as expected.

It looks like we'll have to wait a little longer than expected to see Daniel Cormier defend his title against Alexander Gustafsson. The UFC light heavyweight title bout was announced a little while ago by the promotion, and was expected to take place at UFC 191 in September. The promotion never 100% confirmed that though and it appears that a lingering Cormier injury is the reason why.
