Next Saturday (14), the North American Demetrious Johnson, the only champion in the history of the recent flyweight category, puts his belt on the line for the fourth time against Russian Ali Bagautinov. The fight is the main fight of UFC 174, which takes place in Vancouver (Canada). As a warm-up for the event, the SUPER FIGHTS remembers Johnson's last title defense, over the challenger Joseph Benavidez.
The duel between Johnson and Benavidez headlined the UFC on FOX 9 card, held on December 14, 2013. The confrontation was a rematch of the fight for the inaugural belt in the flyweight division, also won by “Mighty Mouse”. But if the first time Johnson came out on top by a split decision from the judges, in the second meeting with “Joe Jitsu” the champion left no doubt about his superiority and won the victory with a quick knockout.
