UFC 205: Michael Johnson isn't scared of 'sloppy' Khabib Nurmagomedov

Getting someone to sign on the dotted line to face Khabib Nurmagomedov inside the Octagon seems to be an issue for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) matchmakers, according to this.

Michael Johnson, however, isn't "scared" to mix it up with one of the most dominant lightweights on the roster, as he personally called for a fight against "The Eagle," which is set to go down at UFC 205 on Nov. 12, 2016 in New York City. It's all a part of Johnson's plan to leapfrog everyone in front of him in the title race.
