UFC 187 Daniel Cormier: Me vs Rumble Johnson is going to be a war

“I think it’s going to be a war. It’s either going to be me pressing forward, not allowing him to create spaces and land those big power punches, taking him down, staying in his face grinding him down and hopefully winning by decision submission, it doesn’t matter I just want to get my hands raised.”
Daniel Cormier
