Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson to rematch at UFC 210:

UFC Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson will finally meet in the pairs rematch, at UFC 210. The two were touted to headline UFC 206 in Canada last year, before a groin injury to defending champ Cormier forced him off the card, resulting in Max  Holloway's eventual Interim Featherweight title win over Anthony Pettis in the re-shuffled main event. Johnson's inability to find a suitable replacement, subsequently robbed him from a pay day. When the two met at UFC 187, Johnson demonstrated his undoubtable, almost scary knockout power, when he scored an early knockdown, before blowing his gas tank, allowing 'DC' to finish in the third round with a rear-naked choke. Cormier's wrestling is something to be admired, a hugely accomplished NCAA Divison 1 All-American winner in 2001, also competing in the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Since Cormier's win over 'Rumble', the Louisiana born Light Heavyweight, has defended his title once, against Alexander Gustafsson in a narrow split decision victory, and picking up a unanimous decision win over the MMA icon Anderson Silva. Johnson has amassing an impressive 2:07 fight time in his three bouts, finishing Jimi Manuwa, Ryan Bader and Glover Teixeira at UFC 202.
