UFC 210 video highlights: Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson

Daniel Cormier did it again.

The UFC light heavyweight champion successfully defended his belt by using a rear-naked choke on Anthony Johnson that forced “Rumble” to tap out in the second round at UFC 210.

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

Much like their first meeting, Cormier withstood some heavy strikes in the first round, this time in the form of head kicks. But it was all “DC” in the second round for the finish.
