After vanquishing the man many regarded as the most dangerous contender in the light heavyweight division, Daniel Cormier seemed to revel in taunting his future opponents.
Cormier cruised past Anthony Johnson in the UFC 210 headliner in Buffalo, N.Y., on Saturday night, submitting his heavy-handed foe with a rear-naked choke 3:37 into the second round of their rematch. It was quicker and less harrowing for Cormier than their first encounter at UFC 187, when “Rumble” floored the American Kickboxing Academy product in the opening stanza before succumbing to a rear-naked choke in round three.
