Mixed martial arts veterans are set to collide as Michael Johnson meets Clay Guida in a lightweight contest.

That’s according to MMA Junkie who reports that the pair — both of whom have competed at featherweight previously — will compete on the UFC’s upcoming February 6 card. There is no official location, venue or broadcast plans for the event as of now.

Johnson is currently experiencing another slump as he is on the second three-fight losing streak of his career. Despite a promising start, he was submitted by Thiago Moises in their May meeting earlier this year. That followed losses to Stevie Ray and Josh Emmett last year.

Guida is also on a losing streak after getting submitted by Jim Miller in August last year before suffering a unanimous decision defeat to Bobby Green in June.

Another defeat for either competitor could see them getting cut by the promotion.

The February 6 card is currently set to be headlined by a heavyweight matchup between Alistair Overeem and Alexander Volkov.

Here is how the card looks as of now:

Alistair Overeem vs. Alexander Volkov
Diego Ferreira vs. Beneil Dariush
Macy Chiasson vs. Marion Reneau
Molly McCann vs. Lara Procopio
Macy Chiasson vs. Marion Reneau
Aliaskhab Khizriev vs. Wellington Turman
Julio Arce vs. Timur Valiev
Seungwoo Choi vs. Steven Peterson
Clay Guida vs. Michael Johnson

You wouldn’t have thought Thiago Moises would get the win based on his first round with Michael Johnson.

The pair of lightweights opened up the UFC Jacksonville main card on Wednesday as Johnson seemed looked as good as ever as he dominated the striking against a backed up Moises.

However, Moises came out aggressive in the second stanza with a single leg and went on his back soon after. That allowed him to transition to a leg lock as Johnson tapped to end the fight early on in the round.
