Alexander Gustafsson spoke up, saying he would be ready to fight in 2015, and if Jones couldn&#8217;t fight until then, he should be the one to fight him, because he was the rightful contender in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>The UFC disagreed with &#8216;The Mauler&#8217; and Jones vs. Cormier was rescheduled for UFC 183 on January 3rd.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Cormier spoke to Ariel Helwani on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2014\/10\/20\/7022293\/daniel-cormier-i-dont-feel-bad-for-alexander-gustafsson-at-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The MMA Hour<\/a> to discuss the matchup, and why he was chosen to fight Jones.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It\u2019s circumstance, man. A lot of things come down to circumstance. This job [with UFC Tonight], circumstance. The fight with Jon, it\u2019s circumstance. You know, like me winning the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix, circumstances. Sometimes things come down to the person that\u2019s willing to step up when an opportunity is presented. I did.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the matchup, a bout that went under the radar for some, quickly became the &#8216;must see&#8217; fight of the year after the brawl between Jones and Cormier, which further pushed Alexander Gustafsson out of the picture.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Did we know, [either] Jon and I, that it would be so electric? No. It\u2019s taken on a life of its own and now it\u2019s like he (Gustafsson) can\u2019t get back in his place. &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But no, I mean, I\u2019m not going to feel bad for him now, and I\u2019m not going to feel bad for him when he\u2019s waiting at the end of 2015 to fight for the title, because I\u2019m going to win and then Jones is going to get a rematch.
