UFC light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will defend his title against Anthony Johnson at UFC 206.

Cormier has defended the title just the once against Swedish star Alexander Gustafsson with his last bout versus Anderson Silva a non-title affair. The 37-year-old out-pointed the Brazilian legend at UFC 200.

Meanwhile, Johnson is on a scary three-fight win streak since losing to 'DC' notching up three big KO's while earning 'Performance of the Night' bonuses in each of his last three appearances. 'Rumble' is fresh off a 13-second starching over Glover Teixeira at UFC 202.

This bout precedes their first fight back at UFC 187 where Cormier submitted Johnson in the third round to claim the title vacated by Jon Jones.

UFC 206 goes down on December 10th from Toronto, Canada, at the Air Canada Centre.
