KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The UFC’s most dominant champion, Demetrious Johnson, is once again a massive favorite in a title fight this week.
Flyweight champion Johnson (25-2-1 MMA, 13-1-1 UFC) takes on challenger Wilson Reis (22-6 MMA, 6-2 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC on FOX 24 main event. With a win, “Mighty Mouse” would tie Anderson Silva’s record for most consecutive UFC title defenses (10).
UFC on FOX 24 takes place at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., and it airs on FOX following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
Johnson, who enters the fight as a hefty 8-1 favorite at the sports books, is the No. 1 fighter in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA pound-for-pound rankings, and also the clear No. 1 flyweight. Reis is No. 5 at 125 pounds.
