Michael Johnson has faced several peaks and valleys in his 10-fight UFC career. But with back-to-back wins under his belt, he said he’s now ready to make a run at the title. “I want the belt, and I want it pretty soon,” Johnson told MMAjunkie Radio. “I’m going to keep winning fights to do it.” Johnson (12-8 MMA, 6-4 UFC) posted his second straight UFC victory this past weekend at UFC 168 when he became the first man in the UFC’s lightweight division to knock out Gleison Tibau (28-10 MMA, 13-8 UFC). It was an eye-opening performance from “The Ultimate Fighter 12” runner-up, and it proved he’s more than just a middling fighter in the 155-pound weight class – a reputation that followed him after inconsistent results.
