A battle of struggling lightweight veterans has been reportedly added to the UFC 274 card, in May. Per Combate’s report, Michael Johnson will try score his first win since 2018 against Brazilian Alan Patrick, whose last victory also took place in the same year.
Currently on a four-fight losing skid, Johnson (19-17) lost to Clay Guida, Thiago Moises, Stevie Ray and Josh Emmett in his most recent outings. The 35-year-old’s latest victory dates back to an October 2018 unanimous decision win against Artem Lobov, in a featherweight bout for which Michael missed weight by one pound.
