To the surprise of nobody, John Dodson (pictured) is the UFC flyweight top contender. It was announced on this week’s edition of “UFC Tonight” that Dodson gets next crack at champion Demetrious Johnson sometime later this year.
Dodson is currently slotted first in the UFC flyweight rankings. He solidified his next dibs status with May’s unanimous decision victory over Zach Makovsky. It was Dodson’s third straight win.
Johnson is arguably the most complete fighter in all of MMA. He’s certainly one of the most under-appreciated. Johnson has rattled off eight consecutive wins, with the last six being of the title defense variety.
