Daniel Cormier will face Jon Jones at UFC 178 – Gustafsson Injured

UFC 178 Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier

Well they finally find a venue for UFC 178 and another fight suffers due to an injury. Alexander Gustafsson is out due to a knee injury, torn meniscus, and will not compete in the rematch. A fight many were looking forward to.

However we have a very excited Daniel Cormier who will step up to the plate to fight the champion Jon “Bones” Jones. The team over AKA will look for another UFC belt at UFC 178. The bout will take place on September 27 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Cormier has recently dropped down from being an undefeated heavyweight to a light heavyweight and has gone 2-0 since. DC has been looking really good and pretty much walked all over his last opponent, Dan Henderson.

One of the reasons Cormier dropped down a weight class was so he didn’t have to fight his friend and training partner Cain Velasquez. At least he will have the current UFC heavyweight champion to spar with before he faces the monster that is Jon Jones.
