Daniel Cormier Disputes Notion That Anthony Johnson is Different Fighter Since First Bout

There is no doubt that Anthony Johnson has been on a roll since falling to Daniel Cormier in their bout for the vacant light heavyweight championship at UFC 187.

In a little more than seven minutes of Octagon time, “Rumble” has dispatched Jimi Manuwa, Ryan Bader and Glover Teixeira, earning himself a rematch with Cormier on Saturday in the UFC 210 headliner in Buffalo. Johnson started quickly in his first meeting with Cormier, dropping the American Kickboxing Academy product with an overhand right in the early moments of the first round.
