Demetrious Johnson vs. Wilson Reis co-headlines UFC 201

For those wondering whether or not Demetrious Johnson would be shelved until December, at which point he'd fight the TUF 24 flyweight tournament winner, you have your answer. The UFC's reigning flyweight champion will defend his title against Wilson Reis at UFC 201 on July 30th. UFC Tonight's Megan Olivi broke the news on Wednesday's episode.

Johnson (24-2-1) quickly destroyed the previously unbeaten Henry Cejudo in the co-main event of last month's UFC 197 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mighty Mouse has a 10-0-1 record at 125 lbs, and is a perfect 8-0 in defenses of his title.
