UFC 187: Jon Jones Emerges as Biggest Winner Following Cormier vs. Johnson

On the surface, there's no reason for you to agree with the premise of this article. It's out there—borderline crazy, even.

Fallen light heavyweight king Jon "Bones" Jones emerged from Saturday's UFC 187 main event action as the night's biggest winner. This, despite the fact that he didn't actually fight. This, despite the fact that his former title was on the line and he could do absolutely nothing to defend it. 

This, despite the fact that his biggest rival to date, Daniel "DC" Cormier, captured his vacant slab of gold and proudly strapped it around his waist.
