The UFC's bantamweight champion says whoever wins the light-heavyweight championship now will be it's rightful owner.
The UFC will crown a new light-heavyweight champion at UFC 187 on May 23. After former titleholder Jon Jones got stripped of his belt and suspended indefinitely, number-one contender Anthony Johnson and former title challenger Daniel Cormier will battle out who the new best 205-pounder in the world is.
However, the situation is entirely bittersweet for both men, because whoever wins this fight will always have to deal with the concern that the "real" champion was never actually dethroned.
