UFC Fight Night 68 (New Orleans) loses headliner

Daniel Cormier Pulled for Title Shot, UFC New Orleans Headliner Unresolved


quote:

The shoe dropped Tuesday night with UFC officials not only handing Jon Jones and indefinite suspension, but also stripping him of the light heavyweight championship.

With Jones without a belt and out of the UFC 187 main event, company president Dana White announced that his original opponent, Anthony Johnson, would instead fight Daniel Cormier. The two 205-pound contenders will battle for the belt that Jones is being forced to relinquish following his involvement in a hit-and-run car accident in Albuquerque, N.M. on Sunday. Jones has been charged with a felony count of Knowingly Leaving the Scene of an Accident Resulting in Bodily Harm or Death.

Cormier had been slated to fight Ryan Bader in the UFC Fight Night 68 main event on June 6 in New Orleans.


I was really looking forward to seeing Cormier fight, but I guess I'm happy for the upward move for him.

This is old news and kind of misleading. I thought you meant they lost another headliner

Well it probably will lose Bader too. We should have known this card was too sorta-halfway-decent to actually happen.

Maybe they will get Alexander Gustafsson to replace Cormier against Bader.

Sounds like you're talking about the German card and not NOLA.

Yup, his knee. It sucks they all get hurt because IMO right now AKA has the best fighters in 4 of the top 5 weight classes. AKA fighters could hold titles in HW, LHW, MW and LW by the end of the year if Khabib can come back soon and DC and Luke win.
