'EA Sports UFC 2' simulation predicts UFC 210's headliner, and it's bad news for 'Rumble'

Who wins tonight’s big UFC 210 headliner and light-heavyweight title fight? The “EA Sports UFC 2” in-game simulation engine has predicted a winner.

In the pay-per-view main event at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y., reigning titleholder Daniel Cormier (18-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) looks to make it 2-0 over challenger Anthony Johnson (22-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC).

Cormier, who’s No. 2 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light-heavyweight rankings, first fought No. 3-ranked Johnson at UFC 187 in 2015. Cormier won the vacant belt, which had been stripped from Jon Jones, via third-round rear-naked choke.

How about the rematch? The simulator suggests it’ll be another victorious for Cormier – this time via punches.
