The long drought of UFC events will soon come to an end when Daniel Cormier defends his UFC light heavyweight championship against Anthony Johnson next weekend at UFC 210. The fight is a rematch of their 2015 contest which saw Cormier survive an early knockdown to submit Johnson in the third round, claiming the vacant 205 pound title. And to hear Cormier tell it, this one might look a lot like their first encounter.
Speaking with the Anik and Florian podcast recently, Cormier said that Johnson is very dangerous early in the fight but he fades after the first round.
