The main fight of UFC 192, an event that takes place on October 3, in Houston (USA) will be for the light heavyweight belt. This weekend Ultimate confirmed that the champion Daniel Cormier will defend his reign for the first time against the Swedish Alexander Gustafson.
The fight between Cormier and Gustafsson was planned for UFC 191, on September 5th, but an injury to the current champion ended up postponing the fight. Now, less than a month after the scheduled date, the athletes will compete for the division title.
First defense
Cormier won the light heavyweight belt in May of this year after Jon Jones being suspended by the UFC due to his involvement with drugs. As a result, the title became vacant and Daniel beat Anthony Johnson to take the belt.
