Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson has dominated the UFC’s flyweight division since it’s inception but his toughest challenger will be getting a rematch soon.
Fox Sports 1’s Ariel Helwani reported that John Dodson will get his title rematch against ‘Mighty Mouse.’
Dodson spoke about receiving a rematch after his victory at UFC 187:
“It’s a no-brainer for me,” Dodson said. “I always still want to beat up Demetrious Johnson and knock him out. There’s nothing different for me. I thought I beat him the first time me and him faced each other. I believe the next time we that next time that we come around that the outcome is going to be way different. I’m going to beat him up and I’m going to get a clear victory by knocking him out.”
The first fight was a fast paced slugfest and Dodson is one of the few flyweights with true KO power, which makes him a threat to the champ.
