With Jon Jones still remaining on the sidelines, the two best active light heavyweights are up to battle once again.
UFC 210 goes down tonight, April 8th, in the city of Buffalo, New York for the second time in the prestigious promotion’s history. Current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier will rematch devastating striker Anthony Johnson in the main event. Their first meeting occurred in May of 2015, seeing Cormier take a third-round rear-naked choke victory and earning the vacant title following Jon Jones’ strip of the belt. Cormier has since earned two more victories over the likes of top contender Alexander Gustafsson and former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva. Johnson has put together an impressive streak of his own, earning three straight knockout victories with each earning him a “Performance of the Night” bonus.
