UFC 187: Why Things Will Be Different This Time for Daniel Cormier

Daniel Cormier will get another title shot just five months after his last. A thank you note to Jon Jones should be in the mail.

On Saturday, Cormier headlines UFC 187 opposite No. 1-ranked Anthony Johnson for the vacant UFC light heavyweight title. And this time, you can expect Cormier to wear gold at the end of the night.

Why will this contest be different?

When Johnson said the matchup with Cormier would be more difficult than Jones, I agreed.

Styles make fights, and Cormier's style is a terrible matchup for what Johnson brings to the cage.
