UFC 192: Cormier vs. Gustafsson was a mixed martial arts event held on October 3, 2015, at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.{{cite news|url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/UFC-192-Headed-to-Houston-Fight-Night-Cards-Announced-for-Nashville-San-Diego-83337|title=UFC 192 headed to Houston|publisher=sherdog.com|author=Tristen Critchfield|date=2015-03-15|access-date=2015-03-15}}
Background
The event was the fourth that the promotion has hosted in Houston, and the first since UFC 166 in 2013.
The event was headlined by a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout between current champion Daniel Cormier and top contender Alexander Gustafsson. The bout was initially linked as the event headliner for UFC 191. However, the bout was postponed to this event as a result of Cormier's knee injury.{{cite news|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2015/07/daniel-cormier-vs-alexander-gustafsson-booked-as-ufc-192-headliner-in-houston|title=Daniel Cormier vs. Alexander Gustafsson booked as UFC 192 headliner in Houston|publisher=mmajunkie.com|author=Matt Erickson|date=2015-07-18|access-date=2015-07-18}}
Leslie Smith was expected to face Raquel Pennington at this event. However, Smith was forced to pull out of the event due to injury and Pennington was rebooked against a separate opponent at another event.{{cite web|url=http://mmanytt.se/galor/ufc/leslie-smith-drar-sig-ur-ufc-192-och-matchen-mot-raquel-pennington/|title=Leslie Smith drar sig ur UFC 192 och matchen mot Raquel Pennington|publisher=mmanytt.se|author=Denniz Löfgren Hasyilmaz|date=2015-08-05|access-date=2015-08-05}}{{cite news|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2015/08/liz-carmouche-meets-raquel-pennington-at-ufc-191-in-las-vegas|title=Liz Carmouche meets Raquel Pennington at UFC 191 in Las Vegas|publisher=mmajunkie.com|author=Mike Bohn|date=2015-08-12|access-date=2015-08-12}}

Johny Hendricks was set to face Tyron Woodley in the co-main event. However, Hendricks pulled out of the fight on the day of the weigh-ins due to a kidney stone and intestinal blockage suffered during his weight cut. Therefore, the fight was canceled.{{cite news|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2015/10/ufc-scraps-saturdays-johny-hendricks-vs-tyron-woodley-ufc-192-co-headliner|title=UFC scraps Saturday's Johny Hendricks vs. Tyron Woodley UFC 192 co-headliner|publisher=mmajunkie.com|author=Staff|date=2015-10-02|access-date=2015-10-02}}
Francisco Treviño missed weight on his first attempt at the weigh ins, coming in at 160 lb. He was given additional time to make the weight limit, but made no attempts to cut further. Instead, he was fined 20 percent of his fight purse, which went to Sage Northcutt.{{cite web|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2015/10/ufc-192-live-and-official-weigh-in-results|title=UFC 192 weigh-in results: Cormier and Gustafsson on point for title showdown|publisher=mmajunkie.com|author=Staff|date=2015-10-02|access-date=2015-10-02}}
On October 15, it was announced that Treviño tested positive for marijuana in post-fight tests. If Treviño was found by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation's enforcement division to have violated its rules, he would face a one-year probated suspension, in which he can still fight provided he does not break any more rules, or a full one-year suspension. He also faced up to a $5,000 fine.{{Cite web|last=Raimondi|first=Marc|date=2015-10-15|title=Trevino pops for weed after Northcutt loss|url=https://www.mmafighting.com/2015/10/15/9540741/francisco-trevino-tests-positive-for-marijuana-after-loss-to-sage|access-date=2020-09-02|website=MMA Fighting|language=en}}
