“We’ll get a fight done,” White said in the show. “Cormier will fight this weekend.”
It was revealed late Wednesday that interim champion Jon Jones was pulled from Saturday's main event because of a potential drug test failure.
While the UFC has been looking for a suitable replacement for Jones, fighters such as middleweight champion Michael Bisping, former 205-pound champ Rashad Evans and heavyweight title contender Alistair Overeem have thrown their names into the mix to fight Cormier.
