UFC 210 marked another big win for UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, but it came with its fair share of controversy. Not only was the fight itself marred by Anthony Johnson’s bizarre gameplan and subsequent, immediate retirement, but the lead-up to the bout saw a bit of weigh-in weirdness that could dog DC’s footsteps for the foreseeable future.
Cormier showed up for early weigh-ins at host hotel in Buffalo, NY on Friday, April 7th Looking drained and pale. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, the AKA fighter revealed that, potentially due to an extended layoff between fights, his drop to 205lbs that week was the hardest cut of his MMA career (transcript via MMA Fighting).
