A pair of featherweight sluggers are headed to Lincoln, Nebraska. According to a report by The Journal Star, former lightweight contender Michael Johnson will take on Team Alpha Male’s Andre Fili at UFC Fight Night 135.
Michael Johnson (17-13) was bested by Darren Elkins via submission, in his featherweight debut, back in January. The loss extended his currently losing skid to three, with stoppage losses also suffered against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje. The 32-year-old’s last win came in September 2016, when he knocked out Dustin Poirier.
