Tim Johnson may be a longshot, but he remains eligible for a life-changing $1 million payday from the Professional Fighters League when so many others are not.
The well-traveled Xtreme Couture export will put Denis Goltsov to the test when their heavyweight semifinal headlines PFL 7 this Friday at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. Johnson, 39, returns to action on the strength of three straight victories. He nailed down his playoff berth as a short-notice substitution for Gokhan Saricam on June 13, when the two-time NCAA All-American wrestler disposed of Danilo Marques with punches in the first round of their PFL 4 pairing.
