Morning Report: Anthony Johnson welcomes return fight with Jon Jones, but believes Daniel Cormier is more dangerous

While former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones sorts out his legal matters, Daniel Cormier get another shot at redemption when he faces Anthony Johnson this weekend at UFC 187.

Johnson doesn't seem to mind.

"I'm excited either way," Johnson told TMZ this weekend in New York. "I'm still fighting for a title and I'm still getting paid so I'm good."

Johnson admits he's disappointed not to be fighting 'Bones,' but that he'd happily welcome the former champ back to fighting when if and when he's ready.
