Highly touted lightweight Justin Gaethje has officially booked his first fight in the UFC.
The undefeated knockout artist, who just recently inked a multi-fight deal with the UFC, will face off with veteran competitor Michael Johnson in the main event at “The Ultimate Fighter” 26 finale on July 7 in Las Vegas.
The new fight was announced as part of the UFC’s Summer Kickoff press conference on Friday in Dallas.
Gaethje (17-0) was one of the most sought after free agents available in the open market after finishing out his previous contract with World Series of Fighting.
