At UFC 210, Daniel Cormier
and Anthony “Rumble” Johnson will meet in the Octagon for the
second time. In their first encounter, Johnson managed to drop
Cormier before the wrestling skill and sheer determination of his
foe undid him. It is a pattern that has repeated itself throughout
Johnson’s career, and it saw Daniel Cormier walk away with the belt
around his waist. This week on Heavy Hands, we discuss the dynamics
of the rematch. How might Johnson have adjusted his game, and will
Cormier be able to repeat the greatest triumph of his
career?
We also get into the
co-main event, a battle between former middleweight champion Chris
Weidman—who was knocked out in both of his last two fights—and
Gegard Mousasi—who knocked the other guy out in his last three.
Mousasi would appear to have inertia on his side, but Weidman would
be the biggest win of his career, and he can bring the kind of
pressure-based gameplan that has beaten Mousasi in the past. Plus,
we get into the comeback of Will Brooks, and the scintillating
matchup between prospects Kamaru Usman and Sean
Strickland.
