In just over one month, UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will step into the Octagon against Anthony Johnson<\/a> for a highly anticipated rematch for the UFC light heavyweight title at UFC 210. The first time the pair met in the Octagon, they were fighting for Jon Jones vacant light heavyweight title two years ago, after Cormier stepped in for Jones on short notice due to his infamous hit and run incident.<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, while Cormier and Johnson were booked for a rematch before, Cormier was forced out of the fight with a torn adductor in his groin, and thus the bout was rescheduled for April 8th. During a recent appearance at the Daytona 500, Johnson spoke about the fight to MMAJunkie<\/a>, as well as his prediction for how things will play out in this highly anticipated rematch:<\/p>\n

\"Anthony<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nobody on top, but me and Daniel,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThe others are doing their thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI expect everything out of Daniel,\u201d Johnson said on his upcoming rematch. \u201cI expect him to come out fast, hard and aggressive. I\u2019m looking forward to it. I don\u2019t take anything for granted when it comes to Daniel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to whoop his ass,\u201d Johnson said firmly. \u201cThat\u2019s the prediction.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Johnson was also asked about his thoughts on former top ranked light heavyweight Ryan Bader recently signing with Bellator MMA. When it came to that topic, Johnson didn’t mince words:<\/p>\n

\u201cBader is just irrelevant. He won\u2019t be able to compete with any of us in the top 2 or 3. He just can\u2019t beat us. Period. I\u2019m not taking his talents for granted, but you saw what happened with me. I beat him in what, a minute? Daniel would have taken a little bit longer, but he would have beat him, too.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Anthony<\/p>\n

As Johnson stated above, when he stepped into the Octagon with Bader, it didn’t take long for ‘Rumble’ to finish the TUF alum in the first round.<\/p>\n
