As with every high profile pull out, there’s been a number of active UFC fighters throwing their hats into the ring to get that last minute replacement gig opposite light-heavyweight champion, Daniel Cormier – and one, prominent, non-active name.
Sorting through Twitter, so you don’t have to, we have the following possible possibilities:
Michael Bisping
2 months, 2 weeks, 2 days…… Hmmm middle vs light heavy???? I stand by my words. I’d do it!

Ok for the record. I WILL fight DC. I love him, but if the @ufc need me, I’m in! @danawhite@lorenzofertitta

Gegard Mousasi
I was the last LHW Strikeforce Champion. I will be the next LHW @ufc Champion if given this fight. @danawhite

The curious, the curiouser, and the downright ridiculous.
