UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier stood up for his friend and sparring partner Luke Rockhold, whom Alexander Gustafsson had warned against switching to 205 pounds the day before.

"You chose a great moment, Alexander. I have a better idea: he will not fight you, but Robert Whittaker. Sometimes it happens. You got your title fight after the defeat," Cormier wrote on his Twitter.

In January 2015 Gustafsson suffered a crushing defeat by knockout at the hands of Anthony Johnson in his native Stockholm. Nevertheless, in October UFC gave him the right to fight for the title, and Cormier won by split decision.
