LAS VEGAS – Anthony Johnson gave it everything he had in his UFC 187 main event against Daniel Cormier but his power shots were not enough to overcome the chin and grinding game of Cormier.
Johnson (20-4 MMA, 10-5 UFC) came out firing heavy shots and connected repeatedly. Cormier (16-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) was forced to fight through an absolute onslaught that seemed as though it might not stop. Cormier tried to make Johnson carry his weight in a body lock against the cage and that seemed small at the time but set things up for later in the fight.
By the end of Round 2, Cormier had managed to utilize his wrestling and Johnson seemed badly fatigued in his corner. A tired Johnson was there for the taking in Round 3 as Cormier again put the fight on the floor but this time managed to take the back and sink in a rear-naked choke for the victory.
With the win, Cormier became the new UFC light heavyweight champion.
Check out the video highlights of the fight, which aired on pay-per-view from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
