NOTTINGHAM, England – Dana White thought he had Daniel Cormier’s next opponent all set up. Instead, it was back to the drawing board.
Cormier was scheduled to fight former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir in about a month in Oklahoma City. But Mir dropped out with an injury, and White and the Zuffa brass went to work on his replacement.
White thought it was going to be Matt Mitrione – but the UFC heavyweight turned down the fight earlier this week.
