Daniel Cormier had a relatively easy night on April 8 at UFC 212, defeating Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson via second-round submission to retain the light heavyweight title for the second time of his career.
It was during Friday's weigh-ins that 'DC' came under scrutiny, and the former Olympian is still catching flack for his controversial weight cut.
Cormier, the former Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix champion, failed to make weight on his first attempt, hitting the scales at 206.2 pounds. The American Kickboxing Academy standout returned to the scales just two minutes later and hit the 205-pound target, with fans alleging that Cormier held onto the towel to shift his weight and manipulate the scales.
