UFC on Fox 18 on Saturday is headlined by a possible light heavyweight title eliminator between No. 2-ranked Anthony Johnson (20-5) and No. 4-ranked Ryan Bader (20-4).
Johnson failed in his bid to capture the light heavyweight gold at UFC 187 against Daniel Cormier but rebounded with a knockout victory over Jimi Manuwa. The win moved him back into contention.
Bader has won five straight and is coming off a decision victory over former champion Rashad Evans. One more win will put him in the catbird seat without much argument as to who deserves the next crack at the 205-pound championship.
