Anthony "Rumble" Johnson made a shocking revelation during his post-fight interview.
The knockout artist had success with two takedowns and seemed to break Cormier's nose with a knee. Cormier won the first fight, but the rematch nearly didn't happen after Cormier initially missed weight this morning.
Meanwhile, in the other fights on last night's main card, Cynthia Calvillo defeated Pearl Gonzalez via submission, Thiago Alves earned a unanimous decision over Patrick Cote and Charles Oliveira caused Will Brooks to tap out with a rear-naked choke.
In a stunning twist, Johnson (22-6) announced his retirement from professional mixed martial arts afterward.
"I've tried to improve everything", Johnson said after his open workout. "I want to do something besides going to the gym everyday punching and kicking and rolling around with another dude". So I was like, you know what, I'm going to hold the towel a little bit myself to make sure that I'm covered.

Neither Cormier, the defending champion, nor Johnson had appeared at the weigh-in until just four minutes before Friday's deadline. I said it in the build-up, 'This is just number one. And I know he has that wrestling base and once a wrestler, always a wrestler, but you know I think he's pretty much fallen in love with his striking and his power.
If the fight gets axed once again and a rematch between the two doesn't go down, ever, Cormier says he'll be just fine with that.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones may have lost a year of his career because of a doping ban. After that, it was just a matter of time before Cormier did the same thing he did to Johnson nearly two years ago. "I'm going to show the world not only do I have breast implants, but I'm a talented fighter". "I would love to fight him again and beat him, but if I did not fight him, especially for things that I can not control, I would be fine", he said.
"That's not my fault, I don't know", Mousasi said, as quoted on MMAFighting. "So of course I'd fight Jon Jones".
"That was absolutely nuts", Jones said. "If I hadn't taken the sex pill, right now I'd be looked at as the person who would be the champion again". Because when I got off the first time, my ass was showing.
