Demetrious Johnson is set to defend the UFC flyweight title for the first time, and he will try to do so against The Ultimate Fighter winner John Dodson in the UFC on Fox 6 main event.
After beating Ian McCall in the semifinals of a four-man tournament to crown the UFC’s first-ever 125-pound champion, Johnson won the belt in a close fight with Joseph Benavidez.
Dodson, meanwhile, quickly climbed the ranks of the developing flyweight division with wins over Jussier Formiga and Tim Elliott.
In addition to the flyweight title fight, UFC on Fox 6 will also feature a number of important fights across multiple divisions.
Following wins in his first two UFC bouts, Glover Teixeira will try to prove he is a light heavyweight contender with a win over Quinton Jackson. Also, title shots could be on the line in a lightweight bout between Anthony Pettis and Donald Cerrone, as well as a featherweight fight between Erik Koch and Ricardo Lamas.
After the event concludes, Johnson, Dodson and several more of the night’s competitors will likely join Dana White for a post-fight press conference. A live-streaming feed of the post-fight press conference will be available on the video player above, so make sure to to tune in.
