Daniel Cormier and Anthony “Rumble” Johnson met in the middle of the octagon at the main event of “UFC 187″. Cormier’s elite wrestling skills would ultimately be Johnson’s downfall as he repeatedly got taken down and ground out. Fatigue started to kick in after the first round concluded and it wasn’t long before Cormier was able to lock in a rear naked choke for a submission victory.<\/p>\n

During Fox Sports 1’s post fight show, Dana White revealed that the fight went exactly how he thought it would. \u201cThis fight went the way I thought it would go,” White said. “Johnson had the power to catch him with something, but Cormier would just wrestle him and wear him out.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that Cormier wants his first championship defense to be against the suspended Jon Jones. White addressed the rematch becoming a reality. \u201cCormier\u2019s only loss is to Jon Jones. He\u2019s fought heavyweights,” White said. \u201cCormier is the man. There\u2019s no doubt Cormier doesn\u2019t like Jones, and Jones doesn\u2019t like him either. Cormier is a class act. He stepped up instantly to take this fight. We\u2019ve got to see how the Jones thing plays out.\u201d<\/p>\n
