UFC 178 is headlined by a UFC flyweight championship tilt. Champion Demetrious Johnson defends against the No. 8-ranked contender Chris Cariaso.
Cariaso enters as a massive underdog, as much as plus-900 on some books. The UFC has seen huge upsets in title fights before, but can Cariaso defeat the No. 4-ranked pound-for-pound fighter on the planet?
Johnson defends the title for the fifth time. He has not dropped a bout since 2011 when he unsuccessfully challenged for the UFC bantamweight strap. Cariaso‘s three-fight win streak was good enough for a title shot in a shallow division that Johnson has tormented.
Does Cariaso stand a chance, or will Johnson continue to dominate his division?
