Johnson straightened Cormier with a correct submit the initial 30 seconds and bound him with head kicks, yet toward the day's end, Cormier's pounding wrestling diversion broke Johnson's soul and prompted a back stripped gag wrap up. Cormier left with the title he has held from that point forward.
Since that misfortune, Johnson has set out on an unnerving bounce back visit. He has battled three times and none of his rivals, every one of whom are world class contenders, has kept going longer than six minutes. Just Jimi Manuwa, who is probably going to confront the champ of this session, made it out of the first round before surrendering to a frightening blast of punches. Ryan Bader missed on a takedown and ended up eating punches on his approach to obviousness in 86 seconds. Previous title challenger Glover Teixeira tumbled to a deafening uppercut in only 13 seconds.
Cormier has been less dynamic, losing a lot of time to wounds. He safeguarded his belt against Alexander Gustafsson in one of 2015's best battles and won what added up to a presentation battle against the incredible Anderson Silva after Jones was constrained out of UFC 200 by a fizzled tranquilize test.
Johnson and Cormier have built up themselves as the division's two best warriors in Jones' nonappearance, and the victor of the rematch will be a commendable champion.
Leaving aside the more extensive significance of the battle, the matchup in the confine is extraordinary. Both Cormier and Johnson are forceful, approached warriors, yet their hostility serves diverse objectives. Cormier, a two-time Olympic free-form wrestler, needs to get into a telephone stall to crush his adversary with takedowns and messy enclosing the secure; Johnson, by differentiation, tries to stalk his rival and draw out a silly punch or takedown endeavor that he can counter.
The matchup comes down to two warriors who will attempt to battle fire with flame. Which of those methodologies is probably going to prove to be the best? We should separate it.
We'll begin with the champion Cormier.

He started his MMA profession as a little (5 feet 11) and to some degree round heavyweight, yet one favored with remarkable speed in respect to his ambling adversaries. This drove him toward an amusement based around stick-and-move striking on the outside that played to his briskness. He would secure and shoot the intermittent takedown, however just in the correct matchups and at the opportune time,; he was constantly mindful of the need to depend on procedure as opposed to crude quality.
At light heavyweight, his speed favorable position is gone when confronting warriors like Jones, Gustafsson, or Johnson; then again, he constantly holds preference in quality and wrestling ability. In that unique circumstance, hostility and weight are the sensible reactions to surrendering tallness and speed to his restriction. Cormier necessities to work his way inside as fast and productively as would be prudent, and he has manufactured his diversion around doing that. A fresh and reliable hit covers his forward development and he kicks routinely to remove his adversary's escape edges.
Here's a case from his 2015 battle with Gustafsson:
The two men start in the secure with Cormier holding a free overhook on Gustafsson's correct arm. As Gustafsson ducks, Cormier impacts him with an uppercut and after that scopes behind the Swede's make a beeline for get a solitary neckline tie. A hard right snare takes after, and Cormier misses with a left as Gustafsson retreats. Cormier remains on him, however, and doesn't permit Gustafsson to get again into open space. In a clasp a minute later, we see Cormier seeking after. As Gustafsson tries to hover into the center of the enclosure, Cormier times his parallel development and strolls Gustafsson into a moving right hand.
That is great weight. Cormier is continually pushing ahead and attempting to recoil the separation amongst him and his 6-5 adversary. His footwork keeps him close, and he removes Gustafsson's parallel development by crowding him with strikes or rebuffing him for endeavoring to get away. When he gets inside, he benefits as much as possible from those open doors.
We should take a gander at some a greater amount of Cormier's inside amusement.
