LAS VEGAS – Daniel Cormier can’t imagine a situation where the UFC reneges on its plans to book him in a heavyweight championship fight against Brock Lesnar . Losing his belt to Derrick Lewis (20-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC) at UFC 230 next month might change all that, but assuming Cormier (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) lives up to his end of the bargain and defends the gold, he expects to be the one welcoming Lesnar (5-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) back to the octagon next year, and not anyone else. That goes specific for Jon Jones (21-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC), who likely would have been the one getting the Lesnar fight had he not been ruled out of competition for the past 15 months due to a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) suspension. “Bones” is back, though, and if he can defeat Alexander Gustafsson (18-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) for light heavyweight gold at UFC 232 in December, who knows what would happen next
