Chris Weidman isn't the only person launching an appeal following the events of UFC 210 . According to a report by ESPN's Brett Okamoto , the newly retired Anthony Johnson will appeal the result of Johnson's April 8 main event in Buffalo, New York, where “Rumble” was submitted via rear-naked choke by Daniel Cormier in the second round. Following the bout, the 33-year-old surprisingly announced he was hanging up his gloves and stepping away from MMA. Johnson's protest stems from the events surrounding the April 7 weigh-in, where the champion Cormier initially weighed in at 206.2 pounds. The two-time Olympian stepped off the scale, left the weigh-in area for less than three minutes, then returned to weigh in at 205 pounds exactly, thereby giving the title fight the green light. Cormier instantly attracted attention and controversy for his second weigh-in, where he appeared to grab the towel held up in front of his naked body in an attempt to interfere with the scale. Cormier has denied that his actions had any impact on him making weight.

Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weimam was looking to pull himself from a two fight losing streak at last weekend’s UFC 210 co-main event. For the event, Weidman faced Gegard Mousasi in what would ultimately be a bitter and controversial defeat for the former champion.
Anthony Johnson talks about his loss to Daniel Cormier and his decision to retire at UFC 210.

"I'm making enough money outside the sport. I don't need to jump back in. I've got things on my plate and I've got a lot of money to do it. I don't need to be forced to fight. That's how they kind of structured it. They starve guys a little bit, so they have to come back hungry. I need something to get me hungry. I love fighting but I need the right fights to feed that hunger."
To no one’s surprise, Chris Weidman is going to appeal his UFC 210 loss to Gegard Mousasi . On April 8 in Buffalo, New York, Mousasi earned a second-round TKO win over the former Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight kingpin. However, the stoppage, which came at 3:13 of the second round, was instantly a subject of controversy as Mousasi halted Weidman with a series of knees originally deemed illegal by referee Dan Miragliotta. After consulting instant replay, the blows were deemed legal as one of Weidman’s hands was off the mat, but the former UFC middleweight champ was then not allowed to continue by ringside physicians, giving Mousasi the TKO. It was the third straight stoppage loss for Weidman after beginning his career 13-0. Sunday evening, Newsday’s Mark La Monica confirmed with Weidman’s manager, Audie Attar, that a proper appeal would be filed with the New York State Athletic Commission on Monday. Weidman's management says appeal will be filed Monday with NYSAC. Also, Big Dan declined to comment earlier today, citing pending appeal. — Mark La Monica (@LaMonicaMark) April 9, 2017 “If it was a legal knee, I would have loved to have just kept fighting.
Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight contender Travis Browne is in the worst slump of his career, but if “Hapa” is going to snap that streak, it won’t come against a soft touch. Browne will return to action at UFC 213 , where he is expected to face powerhouse Russian grappler Alexey Oleynik . While the bout has yet to be announced by the UFC, it was first reported by MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani and has been further confirmed by sources close to the situation on Monday by Sherdog.com. UFC 213 is scheduled for July 8 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Browne, 34, is 2-5 in his last seven bouts, including three consecutive losses inside the Octagon. After a destructive, first-round knockout loss to Cain Velasquez and a second decision defeat against Fabricio Werdum last year, Browne returned to cage this past February. In the main event of the UFC’s Fight Night bill from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Browne gained an early upper hand but ultimately succumbed to the power punching of Derrick Lewis in the second round. The 39-year-old Oleynik made history in his last UFC outing, showing off his trademark maneuver -- a rare, no-gi Ezekiel choke -- on Viktor Pesta for a first-round submission.

In the buildup to UFC 210 , the UFC released a video of rap legend Snoop Dogg commentating on light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier’s highlight reel. In this video, the rapper seemed to be quite impressed by the champ’s handiwork , applauding his “cold technique” and “full rhinoceros mode.” As it turns out, however, Snoop doesn’t actually seem to be a Cormier fan. In fact, he’d like to walk Cormier’s biggest rival, Jon Jones, to the Octagon in his comeback fight.
