UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will defend his belt for the first time against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 192 on Oct. 3. Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez will look to reclaim his strap when he rematches Fabricio Werdum.

UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov isn’t fighting for a title, yet, but is a top ranked 155er who’s looking to make his return after his most recent knee surgery. Khabib is close to the top and a win over someone like Anthony Pettis would propel him into that number one contenders spot.
