The countdown to UFC 191: “Johnson vs. Dodson 2” is almost complete.
In just a few short hours, the mixed martial arts (MMA) action will begin inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring a 125-pound rematch between Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson and his trash-talking arch enemy, John Dodson.
Johnson and Dodson first competed to crown the first-ever Flyweight champion in the history of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) back in Jan. 2013, with “Mighty Mouse” securing a unanimous decision win over “The Magician.” Dodson did have several bright moments, though, dropping Johnson early and giving him his more dangerous test to date inside the Octagon in the weight class.
Expect more of the same this evening when the pair run it back in “Sin City.”
The pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event is a showdown between surefire future UFC Hall of Famers and mixed martial arts (MMA) legends, Andrei Arlovski and Frank Mir. Both big men have enjoyed career resurgences and a solid performance could earn the winner another crack at reclaiming the division title in early 2016.
That’s not all.
In addition to the five-fight PPV main card there is also a six-fight “Prelims” undercard that will be split between UFC’s online digital network, “Fight Pass,” and its television broadcasting partner, FOX Sports 1.
