Cormier 'very disappointed' by scratched UFC 200 bout
With Jon Jones pulled from UFC 200 for a potential violation of the UFC's USADA-sanctioned anti-doping policy, his opponent Daniel Cormier addressed his disappointment over the situation.
"I'm very disappointed. I worked really hard for this," Cormier said on Wednesday night, according to MMAFighting.com. "I don't know exactly how to explain how I'm feeling right now."

Alongside a visibly angry and saddened Dana White, Cormier expressed his hopes to stay on the historic card, saying he would go up in weight - all the way to 220 or 225 - to take on a bigger opponent if need be.
"I've trained hard and long, Cormier said. "If anyone would fight, I would fight. Why not?"
Cormier also indicated he didn't wish to pile on Jones and was not there to judge, saying: " I'm not the moral police."
