I agree. When I think "Cormier" my first thought is "a fight I don't need to watch".

But all that said, what Cormier went through this past week is something that a lot of champions would have walked away from and not taken a fight. Lose lose scenario for a champ. Silva deserves a tonne of credit for stepping up on 2 days notice, but Cormier also deserves a lot of credit for accepting the fight. Instead people were booing him as if he was some how responsible for Jones not being there.

MacGregor got embarassed after taking a fight on short notice
Rockhold got embarassed for doing the same thing

He could have refused and been well within his rights to do so.
