Once one of the game’s brightest prospects, Brett Johns now finds himself north of 30 years of age and without a defined role in the Bellator MMA bantamweight division.
The former Cage Warriors Fighting Championship and Titan Fighting Championship titleholder will lock horns with Khurshed Kakhorov as part of the Bellator 275 undercard on Friday at 3Arena in Dublin, where he expects to face considerable resistance from the unbeaten Tajikistani standout. Johns has won twice in his past three appearances. He made his organizational debut at Bellator 259, where he dropped a unanimous decision to American Top Team prospect Danny Sabatello on May 21.
