Diaz, Johnson ready to bring it in Orlando

ORLANDO

Nate Diaz and Michael Johnson are two fighters at very different stages of their careers.

Diaz is the grizzled veteran who has been through everything inside the Octagon during his eight-plus year UFC career. Johnson is in his prime and potentially on the doorstep of a title shot.

But fortunes change quickly in the UFC and a win for Diaz puts him right back in the center of the title picture, and Johnson knows that a game Diaz presents a tough test.

“It’s an incredible fight. I’m happy that Nate Diaz looks like he’s coming in shape and he’s ready to fight,” Johnson said.
