The long-awaited rematch between UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson, scheduled for UFC 178 in Las Vegas on September 27, has been postponed after the Swede suffered an injury in training this week. Although there are scores of hungry challengers waiting for a crack at Jones’ crown, few can rival Daniel Cormier's burning desire to topple the champ at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
And now that matchup is set. UFC officials made the announcement of the main event switch to Jones vs. Cormier on Wednesday.

This is Jones-DC is almost as interesting but wasn't Cormier going to get the knee surgery after one last wrestling match?

Lettuce be honest, Jones vs. Gus should have happened already. He's been inactive for almost 3 months, didn't need to postpone til september..

In other news, if DC wins he is the greatest mma fighter of all time.
I'd be sh*tting bricks if I were at the Jackson camp right now, DC is still on top of his game wrestling-wise, Jones' grappling will be a non-factor.

Holy smokes, Jones has been GOATing getting big wins over big names and top competition for awhile, but DC spells a lot of trouble for him right now.

Bet the house on DC.

DC can really take this fight?
I hope everything goes okay win or lose...because he's going to potentially be exposing his knee to lots of bicycle kicks and heavy wrestling....Deathstroke and I list our most hilariously awful WCW moments (lots of gifs & vids; expect load time):

Damn it.
I don't like Jon Jones but he should be able to beat Cormier. But hopefully I'm wrong. DC didn't look that great in his last fight.* MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN Crew*

Looking forward to it. Love what each fighter does out there. I'd give Jones the edge due to his reach but wouldn't surprise me to see either guy win.

pretty ****ing annoying but this is the best time for DC to take this fight, he ain't getting any younger whereas gus has many years left to improve

Jones haters, rejoice! Today marks the beginning of the end for JBJ's championship reign. Cormier will dominate him for 5 rounds.

So, Jones' next two fights are decided. If he loses, it's either a rematch with DC or Gus. If he wins, it's Gus when Gus heals up.

Cormier has a shorter time frame than these young guys. Nows his time.
Who wants to bet Jones opens the fight with a kick to the knee?For every man, there is a sentence, a string of words, that has the power to destroy him

Don't wish any ill on Gus and I hope he is ok, but I'm happy it worked out that jbj vs dc is happening sooner rather than later. Dc is the only fighter I'm really following these days. Super excited. Are there any betting lines yet?
