UFC 192 takes place on Saturday night and will see a big fight between Daniel Cormier and Alexander Gustafsson for the UFC Light Heavyweight title. Cormier will be confident that he can successfully defend his belt tonight, but "The Mauler" has a big height advantage and will be looking to steal the title away from "DC" tonight. UFC 192 gets started with Early Prelims at 6.30 p.m. ET, followed by the Fox Sports 1 Prelims at 8 p.m. ET. The Main Fight Card, which can be seen below, has a start time of 10 p.m. ET. The event can be watched on TV on the UFC network or online through live stream on UFC.TV via the link below.
Newly crowned Daniel Cormier will be making his first title defense against Gustafsson, who is a former challenger and is currently ranked number 2 for the belt, in a five round UFC contest.
Champ, Daniel Cormier, comes into today's contest with a record of 16-1, and 5-1 UFC, where as his Swedish opponent has a 16-3 record, 8-3 UFC.
UFC 192 takes place from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas tonight and will see the 6'5" Gustafsson try to wrestle the title from the much smaller 5'11" Cormier.
This was not the fight that everyone wanted to see, but nevertheless it should still provide top entertainment.
Most UFC fans had been hoping for a Jon Jones vs Gustafsson rematch after their bout last year, which proved Jones' most difficult of his career so far. He did win but was later stripped of his title after being arrested for fleeing the scene of an accident in New Mexico earlier this year.
Gustafsson actually went on to suffer a devastating knock out from Anthony "Rumble" Johnson in Stockholm in January. Cormier gained the title in just his last fight by gaining a submission from Johnson in the third round of UFC 187 in May. Gustafsson will now get another crack at taking Jones' old title.
Not many believe that Cormier is the number 1 fighter at the 205 pound weight division, and following Gustafsson's devastating loss in his previous bout, this title fight has lost a little of its jazz.
However, it is still interesting given the fact that Jones has now pleaded guilty to charges he faced and has been sentenced to probation. That means that the winner of the fight tonight is very likely to be up against Jones soon - the man universally recognized as the top fighter in this division.
