Gotta be April Fools! UFC world reacts to Cormier pulling out of UFC 197
It had to be an April Fools' joke, right?
That was the feeling Friday night when the news broke that Daniel Cormier was pulling out of his UFC 197 rematch with Jon Jones due to injury.
Cormier saw that video of Jones brutalizing poor @SixGunGibson and was like...."Nope." pic.twitter.com/LB1ndIrs7T

Daniel Cormier pulled out of the fight with Jon Jones. The Main Event will now be Jon Jones vs Officer Brown. #UFC197

Cormier is too old, it shows in this recent injury. He would've gotten dismantled by Jones anyways, but a fight's a fight #disappointed

Yo since jones-Cormier isn't gonna happen at #UFC197 ether give rumble a shot or have for #UFC200

#UFC200 gonna be insane if they add Cormier v Jones, but will they co main Diaz v McGregor?

@MattMiller8389 Nah. UFC 200 is fine without Jones-Cormier.

If this Cormier injury is real and not an April fools day report I'd hate to be the one to break the news to super fan @StevensL96

Jones v Cormier for #UFC200? Would that be the main or co-main? Got to be the main event in my mind.

Just left #VFC49 then find out no Cormier and Jones is off? kind of puts a damper on the evening
— Nate Tenopir (@NateTenopir) April 2, 2016
I hope they move jones vs Cormier to the #UFC200 card would be sick
