UFC lightweight Will Brooks has no respect for ‘arrogant’ Michael Johnson, eyes future showdown

After Michael Johnson knocked out Dustin Poirier in the very first round, "Menace" proceeded to stand over his fallen foe and yell at him in the main event of UFC Fight Night 94 (full video highlights here).

Granted, Johnson later apologized for his actions on national television, admitting his emotions got the better of him after the two combatants got into a heated confrontation at the pre-fight weigh in event, one which saw "Diamond" push Johnson’s head.

Nevertheless, Johnson’s actions caught the attention of fellow UFC lightweight Will Brooks -- Poirier's American Top Team (ATT) teammate -- and put "Menace" on notice that he wants a piece of the "arrogant" striker down the line.
