The Octagon invades Buffalo for the first time since UFC 7 back in 1995 Saturday night with UFC 210.
In the featured attraction, Daniel Cormier defends his light heavyweight title against Anthony Johnson. Back in May of last year, “DC” scored a submission win in the third round over Johnson to win the title, which was vacant at that time.
“Rumble” has picked apart each opponent since, setting up the rematch.
The card also features former UFC and Strikeforce champions Chris Weidman and Gegard Mousasi squaring off, a meeting of one-time title contenders in Thales Alves and Patrick Cote, along with ex-Bellator champion Will Brooks battling Charles Oliveira.
While no Nostradamus, here are my predictions for the event:

♦ Jenel Lausa over Magomed Bibulatov via decision
