SAN JOSE, Calif. — Daniel Cormier has been preparing for his most important battle and the headlining act of UFC 210 in ways that are both typical and highly unusual. There has been all the stuff you might expect from a UFC light heavyweight champion: Sweating buckets, cutting weight, sparring with pro boxers, grappling with wrestlers, and even freezing his body by immersing himself in a cryotherapy chamber for post-workout replenishment. Yet as he has prepared to take on Anthony Johnson at Buffalo’s KeyBank Center on Saturday, Cormier (18-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) also has been tapping into a romantic side that could scarcely be further removed from the brutal rigors of the octagon. His downtime has been consumed by wedding planning, with the Johnson scrap taking place just weeks before the former Olympic wrestler walks down the aisle with longtime partner Salina Deleon.
