In December, Michael Johnson did something no one else had done to Gleison Tibau in more than seven years.
At UFC 168 in Las Vegas, Johnson knocked out the bigger Tibau for arguably the most impressive victory in his MMA career.
That win came on the heels of what perviously was his top performance – a dominant unanimous decision win over Joe Lauzon in front of Lauzon’s home Boston crowd.
On Saturday, Johnson (14-8 MMA, 6-4 UFC) steps in on short notice to meet Melvin Guillard (31-12-2 MMA, 12-8 UFC) in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 37 at O2 Arena in London, and he’ll be going after his third straight win over a top-level opponent.
Check out the full fight video above of Johnson’s impressive win over Tibau. Then don’t miss his fight against Guillard on Saturday on the UFC Fight Pass-streamed show from England.
