SUNRISE, Fla. – Demetrious Johnson admits he overcompensated in his first fight with Ian McCall back in March at UFC on FX 2.
“When I was going down to 125 (pounds), I didn’t want to jump on the scale and be [announced], ‘Demetrious Johnson, ladies and gentlemen!,’ and Joe Rogan’s like, ‘128!'” Johnson told MMAjunkie.com.
Following a harsh diet plan that left him drained, Johnson said he’s now made the necessary adjustments going into Friday’s rematch with McCall.
