Did Daniel Cormier engage in a bit of trickery to make weight for UFC 210?
If so, the executive director of the New York State Athletic Commission said he didn’t see it.
Cormier came in at 206.2 pounds in his first attempt at weighing-in Friday for his UFC light heavyweight title defense against Anthony Johnson at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, 1.2 pounds over the championship weight limit.
Less than three minutes later, a naked Cormier appeared to lean on his towel in his second weigh-in attempt, an old-school move used by amateur wrestlers looking to make weight.
