By the Numbers: UFC 210
It was a case of same opponent, same result for Daniel Cormier in his light heavyweight championship rematch with Anthony Johnson at UFC 210. Only this time, Cormier made sure his night ended a little earlier.
Cormier submitted “Rumble” with a rear-naked choke 3:37 into the second round of their headlining battle at the Keybank Center in Buffalo, N.Y., on Saturday night. In their first meeting at UFC 187, “DC” won via the same maneuver at the 2:39 mark of round three (online sportsbooks).
