There is an unusual amount of hostility coming from John "The Magician" Dodson as he prepares to challenge Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson for the UFC flyweight title at UFC 191 in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
Johnson (21-2-1, 10-1-1 UFC) is the reigning champion and has already defeated Dodson (18-6, 6-1 UFC) once in his career. However, Johnson knows it was one of his toughest fights, having been knocked down by Dodson in the second round before his speed, precision and skill took over and earned the win.
Dodson should feel confident since he has hurt Johnson in the past, but he has been laying into Johnson in the days before the fight.
