Daniel Cormier is the real loser here

[Threetrees]

We should all cry for the dude

He's going to miss out on a shiiiiiit load of money, he will lose the chance to fight and legitimize his legacy as a champ against Jones, and if Jones is guilty he'll probably never get to fight Jones again
His legacy potentially takes as big of a hit as Jones if Jones is out for two years, in terms of potential to prove greatness

Jones is laughing, made him cut weight for nothing. DC hates dieting.

 

[StayCranked]

KFC is on the menu!!!!

 

[Gabe]

Yeah he got shafted bad.

 

[Threetrees]

Good point

DC had to give up his fucking popeyes for months for this shit

 

[SuperiorHands]

He is getting fucked.

 

[Which Doctor]

DC finished Jones w/o even stepping into the octagon. Reverse Dim Mak to the mind & soul.

The blueprint is official.

 

[NaughtyBoy]

DC is gonna lose a lot of money if Dana doesn't put my man Moose against him.

 

[Russie]

I do feel for him. The money is one thing but he wanted this rematch bad and was confident he could get it done. Don't know how it would have turned out but being locked in on this and having it cancelled is a tough deal.

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

they'll prob try to come to terms w a last minute fight - prob some sort of negotiations going on and then we'll see - i think if they can schedule DC for another fight, the ufc is nicer to jones - if the fight is cancelled, i expect dana to go off on jones

 

[Jopo]

He could still fight on the card

 

[Threetrees]

It also sucks because he really is a classy dude
I just watched his reaction to Jones being pulled
Dude is class personified, and unlike Jones you really believe him when he says he just wants to be an examples - yet he's now doomed to be the placeholder for Jon Jones, possibly for another two years. This was his moment, and there will also be a question mark now.
It really does actually suck for him, especially when you considered how he's usually recieved by fans in comparison to Jon Jones.
Forever in the shadow of a possible cheater? What a depressing legacy.

UFC needs to pay him what he would have made, to make things right.

Cormier deserves it.

meh, nah. People want to see jones not cormier. Put him against anyone else and it wont sell anywhere near as much because he isnt the draw.

It was mentioned in his press conference
Dana's reaction to paying DC was noncommittal at best
Also someone mentioned the good point that contractually he's not owed anything because he didn't weigh in yet

I hope they find him a fight, even if it's like Moose or something

meh, nah. People want to see jones not cormier. Put him against anyone else and it wont sell anywhere near as much because he isnt the draw.

Because Jones' last fight sold like crazy right?
Jones is a star but he's never been a giant draw
You know what Jones' last biggest fight was?
DC.
He has no other fights with buyrates in the top 15 of all time buyrates.
DC did his job selling this fight along with Jones. TOGETHER the were gonna make bank

True, but Cormier isn't the guy who tested positive.

Cormier earned his payday. No reason for him to be punished because of what Jones did.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

lets hope he is still fighting.

 

[Threetrees]

lets hope he is still fighting.

Yeah hopefully

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Yeah hopefully

To be honest though its such short notice, only 2 days time for the fight, and the weighs ins even less than that! 24 hours. I can't see it happening, it will have to be a HW for sure, can't see any of the LHW's making 205 on 24 hours notice. this really sucks so disappointing.
