BREAKING: Daniel Cormier's New Opponent Set To Be Returning UFC Legend

As if the UFC 200 card couldn't get any more unpredictable, what with the Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz rematch being scrapped until 202, then Brock Lesnar's return being announced for the event followed by Jon Jones' suspension for potential steroid use. And now? Well, things just got even more interesting.

Daniel Cormier is currently without an opponent due to Jones' suspension, leaving the UFC Lightweight Champion looking visibly devastated at today's press conference, as it means he is no longer able to attempt to avenge his loss to Jones at UFC 182 in January 2015 until Jones' suspension is over.

However, if Instagram is to be believed, Cormier is going to be rewarded with a bona fide UFC legend in the form of a returning Anderson Silva.

Now, can everyone just stop getting suspended/injured/pretending to retire? Thank you.
