In late 2018 the UFC made it clear that they no longer wanted to be in the Kajan Johnson business. After four years (five if you count time served in The Ultimate Fighter) and seven fights, Johnson departed the world’s leader in mixed martial arts. The severance wasn’t a shock; he’d lost two fights in a row (after a four-fight winning streak). But, his recent results weren’t the only reason. During that run he was doing what very few fighters ever did; he was speaking up.
For half a decade Johnson has been extremely vocal regarding the unfair playing field fighters compete upon.
