Demetrious Johnson set to defend flyweight title against Wilson Reis at UFC 201

UFC 201 is starting to shape up as yet another big-time event in July.

During a UFC Tonight telecast on Wednesday it was reported that UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson will defend his title against Wilson Reis at UFC 201. According to the report, Reis-Johnson will be the co-main event for the July 30 pay-per-view card, which takes place July 30 at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

A middleweight title bout between champion Robbie Lawler and Tyron Woodley will headline the event.

The 29-year old "Mighty Mouse" Johnson is coming of a resounding TKO victory over the Olympic gold medalist wrestler Henry Cejudo at UFC 197 in April.
