Cormier won the first encounter, submitting Johnson to win the vacant title. The video also takes a look at the co-main event between former middleweight champion Chris Weidman and Gegard Mousasi.

- Anderson Silva will return to action in Brazil, as the former UFC middleweight champion meets Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 212. The event takes place June 3 from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and features Jose Aldo vs. Max Holloway for the unified featherweight title.

Silva picked up his first official win since 2012 this past February when he was awarded a decision vs. Derek Brunson. He had lost four of his last five, with the other bout being ruled a no-contest vs. Nick Diaz back in 2015.

Gastelum stretched his current win streak to three with a first round finish vs. Vitor Belfort earlier this month. He's also bested Tim Kennedy and former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks since a split decision loss to Neil Magny.
