The Complete Guide to UFC on Fox 24: Johnson vs. Reis

The UFC heads to Kansas City, Missouri, with a stacked offering on Fox this Saturday, April 15. In the main event, longtime flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson looks to tie the UFC record for title defenses with his 10th victory, facing veteran compe…

While the main event is compelling, largely because Johnson is such an incredible and accomplished talent with history in his sights, it’s the rest of the card that makes this must-see TV.

The co-main event features an outstanding strawweight fight, potentially a title eliminator, between former top contender Rose Namajunas and the surging Michelle Waterson. It’s a crackerjack of a matchup and one with real meaning.

The same is true for the third fight on the main card, a meeting of elite middleweights between Ronaldo Souza and Robert Whittaker. Souza has been one of the best 185-pounders on the planet for the last decade, and Whittaker is the most talented young fighter in the division.

The rest of the event features strong and meaningful action. The main-card opener between Jeremy Stephens and Renato Moicano should be a barn-burner, and practically every fight on the undercard is well-matched and compelling.

Keep an eye on the Fight Pass bout between Aljamain Sterling and Augusto Mendes and the debut of uber-prospect Tom Duquesnoy on the early Fox prelims.

Let’s dig into each fight.

The UFC continues to add bouts to the UFC on FOX 24 card, and the latest bout just got a little bit bigger as a heavyweight fight has been announced for the event.

UFC officials announced on Tuesday afternoon that fan favorite Roy Nelson (22-13) would take on former Bellator champion Alexander Volkov (27-6) at the event.

After dropping five of his last six bouts, Nelson has had a resurrection of sorts and has won two of his past three. He is coming off of a second-round knockout win over Antonio Silva last September in Brazil. While Nelson’s UFC record (9-9) sits at .500, he has fought the best heavyweights the UFC can offer in that span, as his losses have come to Derrick Lewis, Mark Hunt, Junior dos Santos, Frank Mir, Fabricio Werdum, Stipe Miocic, Daniel Cormier, Alistair Overeem and Josh Barnett.

Volkov has won three straight fights, including his latest bout (his UFC debut) in November at UFC Fight Night 99 in Northern Ireland, where he took a split decision from Timothy Johnson.

UFC on FOX 24 takes place April 15 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. It will be the promotion’s first visit to the state. The main card will air on FOX while the prelims will air on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. Demetrious Johnson vs. Wilson Reis for the flyweight title will headline this event. Here is the updated card as it currently rates:

Champ Demetrious Johnson vs. Wilson Reis – for flyweight title

Rose Namajunas vs. Michelle Waterson

Ronaldo Souza vs. Robert Whittaker

Renato Moicano vs. Jeremy Stephens

Roy Nelson vs. Alexander Volkov

Tim Elliott vs. Louis Smolka

Devin Clark vs. Jake Collier

Nathan Coy vs. Zak Cummings

Andrew Sanchez vs. Anthony Smith
