Timothy Johnson went from almost having to call it a career to fighting for the Bellator title. Johnson (15-6 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) meets Valentin Moldavsky for the interim heavyweight title in the Bellator 261 main event on Showtime on June 25 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. But Johnson’s road to the title wasn’t an easy one. The ex-UFC fighter got off to a concerning start to his Bellator career when he was knocked out in back-to-back bouts against Cheick Kongo and Vitaly Minakov. With his back against the wall, Johnson was matched up with unbeaten prospect Tyrell Fortune and was a big underdog heading into the fight
