It looks like the reason Daniel Cormier is insisting on a December showdown at UFC 207 for his next title defense when his rumored opponent, Anthony “Rumble” Johnson is calling for a November showdown at UFC 205 is because of non-fighting commitments that D.C. has lined up.
Apparently Cormier has signed on to join Jon Anik in calling the UFC Fight Night 96 event in Portland, Oregon in October. The show is scheduled to feature John Dodson vs. John Lineker in a Bantamweight main event.
“I don’t control the fights,” D.C. told FOX Sports. “I show up when they tell me. I said, ‘OK, we can fight, but it’s not going to be November.’ I’ve got this play-by-play gig and other things to do before I start training. You can ask anybody — when I start training, there’s no more ‘UFC Tonight.’ I just start training. I want 10, 12 weeks to feel confident about a fight.”
UFC Fight Night 96 is scheduled to take place on October 1, 2016 in Portland, Oregon, and will air live on FOX Sports 1 (FS1).

Well, if we are to believe UFC president Dana White, we will not be getting Eddie Alvarez-Conor McGregor at UFC 205.
When asked on Twitter late Tuesday night, White responded that Alvarez will be defending his lightweight title this November against top division challenger Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Alvarez called out McGregor to sign the contract on Tuesday with several social media posts, all of which were answered by Nurmagomedov. “The Eagle” even put a time-limit on on of his responses to Alvarez needing to sign the contract.

UFC flyweight Ian McCall will attempt for the third time to make his 2016 debut, signing to face Neil Seery at UFC Fight Night 99.
McCall (13-5-1) had a bout at UFC 201 scrapped when Justin Scoggins failed to make weight, while his recent UFC 203 fight vs. Ray Borg was also canceled after Borg fell ill. He is 2-3-1 over his Octagon career, but has not fought since early in 2015.
Seery (16-12) will get a homecoming, as the card takes place in Northern Ireland. He is 3-3 over six UFC fights.
UFC Fight Night 99 takes place November 19 from the SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It airs entirely on UFC Fight Pass.
