The main event. Of all the things that went down at UFC 192, the title fight between champion Daniel Cormier and challenger Alexander Gustafsson outshone them all. It was the saving beacon on top of what was otherwise not that exciting of a PPV card. The two light heavyweights battled it out like their very lives depended on it and fans got one hell of a show. In fact, not just fans, but the fighters watching at home seemed on the edge of their seats as well.
The UFC's own were watching from the sidelines and tweeting along with the action. Here's what they had to say about Daniel Cormier vs. Alexander Gustafsson: (oh and if you're looking for the tweets from the rest of the fights, you can find them here)
