The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) plans to pit Charles Johnson against Brandon Moreno at UFC 335, scheduled for December 12th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (USA). This information was released by the American website MMA Fighting. In his last fight, the American submitted Brazilian Eduardo Chapolin and now could face one of the top names in the flyweight division.

Although he has not yet officially confirmed his next opponent, Joshua Van 's conqueror used his social media to reveal that he received important news about his career. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), available last Thursday (24), the fighter hinted that he is close to receiving the biggest purse of his UFC career.

“I just received the news that I will be able to buy my first house. My first two years in the UFC were spent fighting to pay the bills and taking full advantage of opportunities, without being able to train to support my family and do what was necessary professionally! Finally, the sacrifices are paying off,” said Charles Johnson.

Signed by the world's leading MMA organization in 2022, Johnson has already fought 16 times in the octagon, accumulating nine wins and seven losses. A potential fight with Moreno, therefore, could represent not only a new sporting challenge, but also a turning point in his financial career for the American.
