Filed under: News , UFC , Videos EDMONTON – UFC lightweight Kajan Johnson didn’t fear for his job stepping into the octagon against Adriano Martins . Despite his very public confrontation with the UFC and Reebok , he didn’t think he was skating on thin ice. “I was coming off two wins, so if I lost, I doubt I would have gotten cut,” Johnson (22-12-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) said backstage after stopping Martins (28-9 MMA, 4-3 UFC) in the UFC Fight Pass opener of UFC 215 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. “If I lost two in a row, I probably would have gotten cut – say I just kept picking and poking at this guy, and I never got the knockout and it went to decision and I lost, and then I had another fight and it was a similar situation.” Johnson did, in fact, pick and poke at Martins, leading many in the arena to boo the fight. But then, he turned things around in a big way, stopping Martins with a punch behind a front kick in the third round. “I think it’s my years of skateboarding, to tell you the truth, because of the way you kick in skateboarding,” Johnson explained of his finishing move

If you missed the fight between Kajan Johnson and Adriano Martins to kick off today’s UFC 215 prelims, maybe do yourself a favor and skip to the third round on the replay. That’s our polite way of saying that the first two rounds would serve as an effective sleep aid, but it wasn’t from a lack of effort on Martins’ (28-9 MMA, 4-3 UFC) part. The Brazilian did the majority of the work in the first two frames, chasing after Johnson (22-12-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) as he did a quick tour of the octagon’s perimeter.

10 reasons to watch UFC 215 (sigh – even without Demetrious Johnson’s shot at history)

BAD MMA News — Fri, 08 Sep 2017 19:00:10 +0000

Filed under: News , UFC It’s funny how fast things can change in the UFC. One day flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson is headlining UFC 215, an event where he has the opportunity to break the all-time record for consecutive UFC title defenses . The next day women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes is fighting in the main event. This despite the fact UFC President Dana White recently said Nunes would not get the chance to headline another fight card. A viral illness to Johnson’s opponent, Ray Borg , is the reason behind the change.
