Charles Johnson is officially a contender at 125-lb.

Picking up his fourth win of the year last weekend at UFC Vegas 99, the streaking Johnson has cemented himself as an up-and-coming name in the flyweight division. Since dropping a unanimous decision to Rafael Estevam back in late 2023, “InnerG” has rebounded amazingly by winning four fights in a row in 2024.

His victory over Sumudaerji this past Saturday has catapulted him into the number 15 spot on the flyweight rankings, a perfect capstone to a remarkable year in his career. Now counted amongst the top of the heap at 125-lb, the time has come for Johnson to take on a massive step up in competition.
