Demetrious Johnson and Kyogi Horiguchi Demetrious Johnson may have already picked up a win over John Dodson in a thriller, but the UFC flyweight champion can’t escape questions about a rematch. Last June, UFC president Dana White said it was “too bad” if Johnson wasn’t interested in a rematch with Dodson (16-6 MMA, 5-1 UFC) and that it was the UFC’s likely direction for Johnson’s (22-2-1 MMA, 10-1-1 UFC) next fight. The champ has fought twice since, defeating Chris Cariaso at UFC 178 and scoring a last-second armbar victory over Kyoji Horiguchi this past Saturday at UFC 186. At the post-fight press conference for UFC 186, the idea of a Dodson rematch was floated once again. While it appears as though Johnson isn’t opposed to the idea, he will not be the one requesting a chance to run it back. “I never shy away from any rematch or a fight from anybody in the flyweight division,” Johnson said
