    Cormier is fighting this weekend!

    Dana White on the Colin Cowherd show just said they are working on it now, an a new opponent should be announced this afternoon. Note, Dana said Bisbing is on a bender now after winning title fight and will not be considered

    is it really dc vs jds?

    that would be an amazing roller coaster we have been on because dc vs jds is awesome. I don't even care about jones vs dc in that case.

    I looked through LHW and HW top 15 rankings and only compelling fight for me is DC vs JDS. Thats why i posted that. Make it happen Dana

    aww lol

    yeah, that would be amazing and even more impressive if dana gets that fight together in time for Saturday. I hope it is someone relevant and like you said, not too many options. JDS would be so awesome tho.

    Yes,,, Dana did say hopefully will be finalized and announced this afternoon. A. Gustaffson at heavyweight isnt a bad idea..No weight cut... 225-230 is where DC will be roughly maybe a tad more.

    true, a loss wouldn't technically matter either. Really is a win/win for both fighters in that scenario. Lots of money and no real tarnish for the loser.

    Mousasi maybe? It would be sick if it was Anderson Silva.

    I wish Gustafson would go heavyweight in general I think he'd give stipe a good fight
    even Cormier would have a great shot at stipe but he won't do that since if Cain wins he'll probably get a title shot after overeem/stipe...

    looking at at the top 15 for lwh and heavyweight I honestly don't see any compelling match ups all of the guys are tied up, he's beat rumble and gus and he said he doesn't want a huge heavyweight so that doesn't leave plenty options, guessing he gets an average fighter and completely mollywhops him with huge slams all fight to get his anger out

    Rashad Evans said he is more than willing to step in on short notice to face Cormier.
