Reminder: 'Countdown to UFC 210: Cormier vs. Johnson 2' debuts today on FS1

As a reminder, the UFC’s traditional pre-event show returns today with the debut of “Countdown to UFC 210: Cormier vs. Johnson 2” on FS1.

The one-hour special previews the card’s headlining bout between light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier (18-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and Anthony Johnson (22-5 MMA, 6-1 UFC), who fight in a rematch in the UFC’s return to upstate New York. Cormier won the title with a submission over Johnson at UFC 187.

The rematch was initially expected to take place at this past December’s UFC 206 event, but a Cormier injury forced the champ to withdraw, and Johnson elected to wait for the fight to be rebooked.

Also on the main card, Gegard Mousasi (41-6-2 MMA, 8-3 UFC) will fight former middleweight champion Chris Weidman (13-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) in Weidman’s home state of New York.

“Countdown” airs at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT) on FS1, and replays air throughout the week.

UFC 210 takes place Saturday at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
