Early stoppage?

Cowboy and Miller next

Cowboy's entrance music fits him to a tee

That was fantastic

Nice win for Cerrone.

I assume no one ever wants to be on the same card as Cerrone. He always takes the fight bonuses.
[Reply]

He's a beast and I hope he can keep his momentum rolling. I really like his fighting style.

Gustafsson got hurt, so that rematch is off.

Jon Jones is now scheduled to defend his title in UFC 178 against....

Cormier. That is gonna be awesome.
[Reply]

Yep. Doesn't hurt the card at all.

If anything, it greatly improves it. I think a clear majority of UFC fans wanted Jones to fight DC, even Jones wanted it but Dana scheduled the Gustafsson rematch over his objections. Now a fluke injury has forced Dana to give us the fight we were really wanting.

If Jones beats DC, then OK, whatever, let him fight Gustafsson again.

I don't think so. Gust/Jones was an awesome fight that people have been clamoring for a rematch for some time. Jones only wanted DC because he thinks it will be easier fight than Gustafsson and he might be right. I would have preferred to see Cormier/Gust fight and the winner get Jones, but they couldn't keep putting off Gustafsson any longer.

DC is still a very interesting contender, but in no way can it possibly be better. I think it's more of a step sideways which is still far from what you usually get when an injury happens for a ME fight.

I was about to disagree, but after quickly double-checking around on fight forums I found out that you were actually right. I guess I wasn't aware of it, but it seems like most people wanted to see the rematch, though no one is disappointed at all with having DC instead.

So I guess the general consensus is that this is a step sideways as you say. Thats fine though, its an upgrade to me, so I'm happy.
[Reply]

Yep. Gotta be honest, this is the first Jon Jones fight 5 hat has interested me in a couple of years.

I'll definitely be tuned in for this one.
