UFC 186: Who's on the Hot Seat in Montreal This Saturday?

It is an underwhelming card, but UFC 186 will still showcase a championship bout between 125-pound titleholder Demetrious Johnson and Kyoji Horiguchi.

With seven wins in a row, Mighty Mouse has become recognized as one of the top pound-for-pound competitors in MMA. Having defended his belt five times, Johnson has already matched the historic UFC title runs by Tito Ortiz and Matt Hughes, and the flyweight champion will look to surpass those this weekend with a win over Horiguchi.

Since joining the UFC roster in October 2013, Horiguchi has posted a 4-0 record. Most recently beating Louis Gaudinot, Horiguchi quickly rose to contender status.
