Anthony Johnson In this week’s Trading Shots, MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes and retired UFC/WEC fighter Danny Downes discuss the peculiar circumstances of UFC 187’s light heavyweight title fight, and what’s really at stake in the absence of the former champ. Fowlkes: Danny, UFC 187 is nearly upon us, and what was recently a mega-card is now merely a really good one, with former UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones getting yanked and Anthony Johnson and Daniel Cormier set to fight for the 205-pound strap in his stead. Let’s start with this: What are these two fighting for on Saturday night? I know the winner will get a big gold belt and all that, but come on. I could make you a gold belt (well, not personally; I’m no longer allowed to work with either precious metals and/or leather), but it wouldn’t make you champion of anything.
