Submission! Daniel Cormier vs Anthony Johnson full fight video highlights from UFC 187 last night

AND NEW!!!

Daniel Cormier is the new Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight champion, submitting Anthony Johnson in round three last night (Sat., May 23, 2015) in the main event of UFC 187, which took place inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada,

It wasn't that easy, though.

Johnson literally floored Cormier seconds into the 205-pound showdown, sending "DC" to the canvas with a head kick for the first time ever in his UFC career. Oddly, Cormier didn't appear to be in too much danger, which is bizarre because Johnson packs perhaps the most power in the division.
