Demetrious Johnson says he’d fight Cody Garbrandt at 135 or 125

LOS ANGELES -- UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt put forth an interesting proposition to UFC flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson a couple weeks back.

Should Johnson defeat Wilson Reis in the main event of Saturday’s UFC on FOX 24 in Kansas City, which would tie Anderson Silva for the most successful defenses in UFC history at 10, Garbrandt would be willing to come down to 125 pounds and become challenger No. 11.

For his part, “Mighty Mouse” says he’ll accept that challenge. Or he could go up to 135 pounds.
