"Listen, as a guy who is headlining and will be taking some of the pay-per-view points, a big part of me is hoping that Conor IS there but he's not going to be there.
"I can see both sides of the coin. I do believe that Conor does have a gripe. He does do more [media] than all of us, probably combined, outside of Ronda Rousey so if there might be some leeway there, it could be for him.
"But this is the big one. This is 200. This is the one you are obligated to promote so the UFC should stay firm in their stance."
No, not really. We're all fighters and we do want to stand on our own accord. We don't want to ride Conor's coat-tails or anything.
"He has done some great things in the sport, but we're [Cormier and Jon Jones] fighting for the UFC Light Heavyweight championship. If that's not big enough for you then you've got a problem.
"When you're getting to see two of the best guys that have ever competed... two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world - and you've got Jose Aldo, Frankie Edgar, Miesha Tate, Amanda Nunes, Cain Velasquez, Travis Browne - if that's not enough for you, you're really just a fan of Conor McGregor and not a fan of fighting."

Daniel Cormier has a way with words, very intelligent man indeed.
