UFC 192 is scheduled for Saturday, October 3.
The event is headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between champion Daniel Cormier and Alexander Gustafsson. Cormier won the title by defeating Anthony Johnson after the UFC stripped Jon Jones of the honor for his out-of-Octagon behavior. Saturday marks Cormier's first chance to defend the strap.
Gustafsson gets his championship opportunity despite suffering a knockout loss his last time out. His fight with Cormier is the second time he will compete for UFC gold. He previously lost a close decision to Jon Jones back in 2013.
The co-main event of the evening is another light heavyweight bout. Ryan Bader will look to win for the fifth straight time by defeating Rashad Evans. Evans has not competed for nearly two years, but he won back-to-back outings before the layoff.
