Devil's Advocate: Who should fight Daniel Cormier at UFC 200?

BloodyElbow.com's Nick Baldwin plays devil's advocate by taking a look at some of the best options for short notice opponents for UFC light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier at UFC 200.

I recently wrote an opinion piece on why the UFC should not seek a replacement fight for UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, following the cancellation of his rematch against Jon Jones at UFC 200. I stated that Cormier is not a big enough of a draw without Jones on the other side of the Octagon to contribute enough to the already-stacked landmark event set to occur this weekend to make it worth booking him versus a new opponent.
