UFC 202 fight card gets Anthony Johnson vs Glover Teixeira, Donald Cerrone vs Rick Story

Light Heavyweight standouts, Anthony Johnson and Glover Teixeira, have been re-booked to battle inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Aug. 20, 2016, after their upcoming showdown at UFC on FOX 20 was scrapped because of an injury to "Rumble."

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announced the match up on Twitter.com this evening, as well as a Welterweight scrap between Donald Cerrone and the resurgent Rick Story.

The clash between Johnson (No. 2) and Teixeira (No. 3) will likely crown the next 205-pound title contender once division champion, Jon Jones, and interim kingpin, Daniel Cormier, settle their score at UFC 200 next month.
