Bisping and Mousasi offer to face Cormier as Jones’ UFC 200 replacement

Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports

Michael Bisping vs Daniel Cormier super-fight? Gegard Mousasi? Several fighters have offered to step in for Jon Jones at UFC 200.

Shortly after Jon Jones was pulled out of UFC 200 stemming from an out-of-competition drug test by USADA, several fighters have offered to step in. This included heavyweight Roy Nelson, and now Gegard Mousasi, who are both fighting on this same weekend.

Mousasi, who held light heavyweight titles in DREAM and Strikeforce, is willing to move back up and compete in a 5-round title bout against Daniel Cormier.

Nelson or Mousasi make sense since they’ve already had full camps, but I have to admit, I’d rather watch this champion vs champion bout even for a very small chance that Bisping shocks the MMA world yet again.
