Although his appeal says otherwise, Anthony Johnson claims he doesn’t want light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier stripped of his title for his actions at the UFC 210 weigh-ins.
Cormier defeated Johnson via second-round submission in the UFC 210 headliner in Buffalo, N.Y., on April 8. “Rumble” retired following the defeat and said that he would have made the same decision even if he had defeated Cormier.
“First and foremost, I never said I wanted DC stripped of the title. He beat me and that’s that,” Johnson wrote Thursday on his Instagram account.
