Daniel Cormier made it clear that he&#8217;s the guy who gets <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/daniel-cormier\/give-volkan-oezdemir-title-shot-alexander-gustafsson-light-heavyweight-twitter-q-and-a\/\">the next shot at the title<\/a>, a fight that would happen <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/daniel-cormier\/daniel-cormier-targets-fight-volkan-oezdemir-early-2018\/\">sometime in early 2018<\/a>.

If he gets beat by Daniel Cormier, like every fighter he&#8217;s ever faced besides Jon Jones, then he can have that hyped fight with Alexander Gustaffson to determine the King of Sweden. He could work himself back up in one or two fights to challenge Cormier again. However, we&#8217;re getting ahead of ourselves. You never what the UFC has up their sleeves, but a fight with Daniel Cormier for the title is the most logical choice.
