The UFC’s next trip to New York will be Saturday, April 8th in Buffalo’s KeyBank Center. In the night’s pay-per-view headliner, light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier faces Anthony Johnson in a rematch of their UFC 187 encounter, which ended in a Cormier rear-naked choke to win the vacant belt.
Former middleweight champion Chris Weidman is in the co-main event, as he looks to snap a two-fight losing skid by beating the surging Gegard Mousasi, who is in the final fight of his current UFC contract. Other notable bouts include lightweight Will Brooks against Charles Oliveira, Thiago Alves returning to welterweight to battle Patrick Cote, light heavyweight Patrick Cummins taking on Jan Blachowicz, and welterweight prospect Kamaru Usman against fellow up-and-comer Sean Strickland.
