Possibly the only thing more unexpected than Daniel Cormier's pre-UFC 197 injury was the well-wishing that followed from Jon Jones.
It could be argued that Cormier and Jones share the fiercest rivalry in the history of MMA and their grudge rematch was one of the most anticipated fights of the year.
But then Cormier was forced out of the main event of the April 23 card with an injury.
It's still unknown whether the UFC will offer a replacement to Jones who was hoping to regain the title he never lost.
And given the feud between 'DC' and 'Bones' many expected a bitter response from Jones but the former champion reacted with nothing but class, wishing Cormier a swift return to action.
