Cormier vs Rumble wordt main event.
Champ Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson rematch headlines UFC 210 in Buffalo
A light heavyweight title fight will headline UFC 210.
UFC officials today announced that current champ Daniel Cormier will put his title on the line against hard-hitting slugger Anthony Johnson in a rematch of the pair’s initial May 2015 meeting.
Cormier is currently ranked No. 2 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light heavyweight rankings, while Johnson is just behind at No. 3.
UFC 210 takes place April 8 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. Tickets go on sale for the card next month.
Cormier (18-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and Johnson (22-5 MMA, 6-1 UFC) first met at UFC 187 with a then-vacant UFC light heavyweight title on the line. While “Rumble” scored an early knockdown, Cormier battled back to net a third-round submission win.
Cormier has since gone on to add one successful title defense over Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 192, as well as a UFC 200 win over Anderson Silva in a non-title fight.
Meanwhile, Johnson has battled his way back to Cormier with knockout wins over Glover Teixeira, Ryan Bader and Jimi Manuwa. All three earned the slugger “Performance of the Night” bonuses.
The rematch was initially expected to take place at this past December’s UFC 206 event, but a Cormier injury forced the champ to withdraw, and Johnson elected to wait for the fight to be rebooked.

Blachowicz vs. Cummins, Aldana vs. Chookagian among new UFC 210 bookings
April’s UFC 210 event in New York has three new additions.
Officials today announced the trio of bouts: light heavyweights Jan Blachowicz (19-6 MMA, 2-3 UFC) vs. Patrick Cummins (8-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC), featherweights Shane Burgos (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Charles Rosa (11-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC), and women’s bantamweights Irene Aldana (7-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) vs. Katlyn Chookagian (8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC).
UFC 210 takes place April 8 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though the fight card and bout order haven’t been finalized.
Blachowicz, an honorable mention in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light-heavyweight rankings, is stuck in a 1-3 skid, which included a decision loss to Alexander Gustafsson in his most recent bout. The 33-year-old Polish fighter and former KSW champ looks to rebound against Cummins, a 36-year-old who was on a solid 4-1 run before recent TKO losses to Glover Texeira and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
Burgos, an ROC and CFFC vet, recently made his UFC debut and scored a decision victory over Tiago Trator (while getting a mid-fight haircut). The 25-year-old won his seven prior fights via stoppage. He now meets Rosa, a CES MMA vet and two-fight “Fight of the Night” winner who has UFC wins over Sean Soriano and Kyle Bochniak, and losses to Dennis Siver and Yair Rodriguez.
Aldana, a 28-year-old Mexican striker, is a former Invicta FC title challenger who recently made her UFC debut and suffered an upset decision loss to Leslie Smith, though she earned “Fight of the Night” honors in the losing effort. She now meets Chookagian, who’s an honorable mention in the rankings. The 28-year-old picked up a decision victory over Lauren Murphy in her UFC debut but recently suffered a decision loss to former UFC title challenger Liz Carmouche.
The latest UFC 210 card now includes:
Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson
Gegard Mousasi vs. Chris Weidman
Jan Blachowicz vs. Patrick Cummins
Shane Burgos vs. Charles Rosa
Irene Aldana vs. Katlyn Chookagian

mousasi schijnt een probleem te hebben met zijn visum door de nieuwe regels trump en kan hierdoor mss niet vechten tegen weidman.
Heeft iemand hier meer info over?
Mensen die geboren zijn in Iran mogen sinds vandaag het land niet meer in. UFC advocaten zijn er mee bezig, maar ze weten niet welke kant het dubbeltje opvalt.

Trump is echt een facking mongool
Hij heeft toch een NL's paspoort lijkt me? Dan moet het toch geen probleem zijn?
WASHINGTON - Mensen die een paspoort hebben van een van de zeven moslimlanden die onder het Amerikaanse inreisverbod vallen en daarnaast nog over een andere nationaliteit beschikken kunnen de Verenigde Staten gewoon betreden.

Hou schatten jullie de kansen van Mousasi in? Ik denk dat hij Weidman gaat domineren, Weidman is echt wel klaar na die twee slachtpartijen.
When life gets tough...
Put on your boxing gloves
Waren geen slacht partijen , tegen rockhold ging t gelijk op tot die mislukte trap van weidman, tegen romero kan ik niet goed meer voor me halen maar daar stond weidman volgens mij ook gewoon zijn mannetje tot hij idd "geslacht" werd door die gesprongen knie.
Denk dat weidman nog steeds een topper is al weet ik niet hoe hij in zijn koppie omgaat met die 2 verlies partijen achter elkaar en hoop natuurlijk op een win voor gergard.
Ze hadden weidman gezien zijn 2 lossen van mij wel een makkelijkere tegenstander mogen geven dan gergard
