Who does Daniel Cormier face next?
With the UFC Light Heavyweight division now up in arms after the controversy around Jon Jones anti doping violation, I take a look at who current Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier could defend his title against next:
Anthony Johnson/Glover Teixiera: With these two battling it out in the co-main event of UFC 202 with the winner more than likely taking on Daniel Cormier. Johnson who fought and lost to Cormier when the light heavyweight champ submitted Johnson via a rear naked choke. Glover Texiera who holds impressive victories over Ryan Bader, Ovince Saint Preux and most recently, Rashad Evans. Teixiera's most significant losses include now Bellator star Phil Davis and former champion Jon 'Bones' Jones. Glover, a vicious knockout artist will face arguably the hardest hitter in the Light Heavyweight division in the form of Anthony Johnson.
Alexander Gustafsson: This would see a rematch between the two men after Daniel Cormier won via split the decision. The Swedish Mauler is known as the man to have pushed Jon 'Bones' Jones the furthest he has been pushed in his career with many believing Gustafsson won the bout with Jones really dominating the last 2 rounds to sway the judges. Gustafsson faces Jan Blachowicz in UFC Fight Night Hamburg. Gustafsson can more than likely expect to face the winner of either Cormier and Johnson or Teixiera.
