UFC 206 loses main event and fans can’t believe it

Another one bites the dust.

For the second time this year, UFC Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has withdrawn from a fight with an injury. Cormier will miss a planned title defence against Anthony Johnson at UFC 206 in Toronto on December 10. Cormier missed out on UFC 197, which was then downgraded to a Fight Night event, earlier this year. He was then set to face Jon Jones in a bout rescheduled for July's UFC 200 before Jones, the interim champion, was popped on a doping offence. Cormier ended up fighting Anderson Silva at UFC 200 and getting a comfortable decision win. His UFC 206 withdrawal was first reported by MMA Fighting, who claim the UFC want to keep Johnson on the main card while seeking out another headline event. News of Cormier's latest withdrawal did not go down well in Internetville: https://twitter.com/LostAus/status/802207764680417282 https://twitter.com/BjT_bennyt/status/802210874245214209 https://twitter.com/seanmcgill8/status/802211476849172484 https://twitter.com/Avant77/status/802210997301673984 The promotion had long held out for Georges St-Pierre to headline the PPV card but neither they or the fighter could agree on terms or an opponent. Top 10 middleweight Tim Kennedy is also on the look-out for an opponent after Rashad Evans, his slated match, was refused a licence to fight.
