Now, he’s back with the UFC and training hard to ensure his next trip to the octagon doesn’t have the same end. Ray (21-7 MMA, 5-2 UFC) will see a familiar face in his return when he meets Kajan Johnson (22-11-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 127, which takes place March 17 at The O2 in London and streams live on UFC Fight Pass.
