A lightweight match including a seasoned veteran was reportedly added to the UFC Fight Night 175 card as the date rapidly approaches.
According to a report by Brazilian news outlet Combate, Michael Johnson will take on Thiago Moises. According to his social media, the Brazilian Moises is already in Florida for the bout.
The report also mentioned a lightweight bout between Bobby Green and Omar Morales, but MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin posted on Twitter that the fight will not, in fact, be happening on that date.
Currently on a two-fight losing skid, Michael Johnson (19-15) was knocked out by Josh Emmett in his last featherweight bout, back in March 2019.
