Anthony "Rumble" Johnson will battle Daniel Cormier for the vacant UFC light heavyweight belt at UFC 187, a main event that was originally scheduled to feature superstar Jon Jones.
However, the UFC stripped Jones of his title and suspended him from the company after he was reportedly involved in a hit-and-run incident, per Fox Sports Live (h/t Mike Bohn and Matt Erickson of MMA Junkie). Having failed to capture the gold from Jones in January—losing via unanimous decision—Cormier has stepped up to provide Johnson's final hurdle for the prize.
This battle will round off a tremendous night of action in arguably the UFC's most stacked night of the year.
