UFC 210 results: Daniel Cormier submits Anthony Johnson again to retain light heavyweight title

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Daniel Cormier’s rematch with Anthony Johnson looked a lot like their first fight two years ago, only it ended even sooner.

Johnson’s (22-6 MMA, 13-6 UFC) early attempt to outgrapple Cormier (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) backfired spectacularly when the Olympic wrestler reversed him and set up the same rear-naked choke he tapped to in the first meeting.

The light heavyweight title bout was the main event of today’s UFC 210 event at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
