Daniel Cormier was all set to finally fight Jon Jones. Then he learned the devastating truth.
After losing to Jones at UFC 182, Cormier seemed destined for a rematch against his biggest foe. But Cormier captured the light heavyweight championship without a fight after Jones relinquished the title following a hit-and-run incident. When Cormier and Jones were ready to meet in The Octagon at UFC 197, Cormier was forced to bow out after suffering a shin injury.
All of that was in the past, though. Main event time at UFC 200 was coming Saturday.
