It’s All About Michael Johnson for UFC Philly

Obviously, he cares about winning his fights.

But as far as thinking about how his opponent, Josh Emmett, is fighting for the first time in more than a year and is coming off an injury, he doesn’t care.

“It really doesn’t matter to me,” Johnson said. “None of it matters. Josh Emmett, he’s a great competitor. He’s a good fighter. Comes from a great gym, but at the same time, me personally – you could say it sounds selfish – it’s all about Michael Johnson.”
