Cormier Vows To KO Rumble In Rematch: “You Don’t Hit As Hard As People Think”

The trash-talk between Anthony “Rumble” Johnson and Daniel Cormier on social media continued on Friday, with both fighters debating when and where they will meet and D.C. issuing an incredibly bold prediction on how the fight will go.

After challenging Cormier to a rematch at the UFC 205 show in November in New York, D.C. told the knockout artist that he would have to wait until UFC 207 in Las Vegas in December, but that he would be next because he’s not going to wait around for Jon Jones.

The fun continued on Friday as Rumble and Cormier went back-and-forth a number of times on social media. During the Twitter exchanges, Rumble continued to push for the fight to take place at the historic UFC 205 event that will see the Octagon in the middle of the world-famous Madison Square Garden arena for the first-ever UFC event in the state of New York.

Meanwhile, Cormier continues to insist that he will give him the shot at the UFC 207 pay-per-view, rumored to include Cormier’s teammate and friend Cain Velasquez finally fighting the man who ended his UFC Heavyweight Championship reign, fellow former UFC Heavyweight title holder Fabricio Werdum.

Oh yeah, D.C. also tossed in a bold prediction.

“December 30th I’ll be waiting for ya,” wrote Cormier. “No wrestling! I’ll give [you] a shot. I’m gonna knock you out!”

The reigning UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, who won via decision in their first meeting, continued, “Truth [is] I’ll knock you out before [you] knock me out. [You] don’t hit as hard as people think. I’ll stand right in front of [you].”

So what did Rumble, who just knocked out dangerous striker Glover Teixeira in just 13 seconds at last month’s UFC 202 pay-per-view, think about Cormier’s claim that he doesn’t hit hard and that it will be D.C, not Rumble, who wins by knockout in their rematch?

“Man, hush,” said Johnson. Before closing with a “#RumbleCares” hash-tag, Johnson concluded, “Just stop, please.”

Both Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson and Glover Teixeira were looking to make a statement worthy of a light heavyweight title shot when they threw down in the co-main event of last night’s (Sat., August 20, 2016) UFC 202 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Both Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson and Glover Teixeira were looking to make a statement worthy of a light heavyweight title shot when they threw down in the co-main event of last night’s (Sat., August 20, 2016) UFC 202 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It was only ‘Rumble’ that made that statement, however, and he did it emphatic, ultra-impressive fashion by knocking out the hard-nosed Brazilian with a perfectly placed right uppercut on the button that knocked him out and saw him wrestle the referee when he did wake back up.

Making a strong case for being the hardest hitter not only in current MMA but all-time, “Rumble” is most certainly deserving of a second bout against current UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.

Tonight’s (Saturday, January 30, 2015) UFC on FOX 18 from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, delivered a hard-hitting mix of solid fights and finishes, and much of that recognition came at the top.

Light heavyweight destroyer Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson made short work of the previously surging Ryan Bader in less than a minute-and-a-half, staving off an early takedown to demolish ‘Darth’ with some shockingly powerful knockout shots. Johnson not surprisingly took home the event’s first $50,000 ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus for the impressive win.

In the co-main event, heavyweight Ben Rothwell got a historic victory by becoming the first man to ever make Josh Barnett tap out due to a submission hold when he submitted ‘The Warmaster’ with his patented gogo choke in the second round, earning the second ‘Performance of the Night’ in the process.

‘Fight of the Night’ went to the bantamweight scrap between Jersey hometown favorite Jimmie Rivera and veteran Iuri Alcantara, which Rivera edged by unanimous decision.
