As a person who will not personally be spending a dime on this package but rather will be attending a party where this event will be broadcasted, I am actually pretty stoked about Silva vs. Cormier.
Would I rather have Jones vs. Cormier? Sure. But under the circumstances this isn't a bad back up plan.
I assume Cormier will be the heavy favorite but regardless, it will be a very intriguing fight.
Kudos to Dana and the rest of the UFC crew for pulling this off.
