Daniel Cormier moved to 2-0 against Anthony Johnson tonight at UFC 210, by submitting the feared slugger in the second round.

Johnson took Cormier down in the opening round, and landed a headkick later in the frame, which appeared to break the 205 champ’s nose. But in round two, “DC” scored his own takedown, and after landing punches from above, tapped Johnson with a rear-naked-choke.

After the fight, Johnson announced he’s retiring from pro-MMA. “Rumble” said he’s decided to move on from fighting, and that he’s accepted another job, outside of the sport.

The co-main event between Gegard Mousasi and Chris Weidman ended in very controversial fashion. In round two, Mousasi cracked Weidman with a couple of knees to the head that appeared to stun the former middleweight champ. Referee Dan Miragliotta, however, ruled the latter’s was technically down, making the knees fouls. But, the replay showed that both of Weidman’s hands were not actually touching the mat, and the fight was called in Mousasi’s favor.

Here are the results from UFC 210, which took place in Buffalo, New York.
