Michael Johnson volunteers for the fight ‘nobody’ wants: Khabib Nurmagomedov

With UFC President Dana White admitting he’s struggling to find anyone to face undefeated Russian contender Khabib Nurmagomedov (21-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC), a volunteer has emerged.

With a pair of impressive outings under his belt, 27-year-old lightweight Michael Johnson (12-8 MMA, 6-4 UFC), took to Twitter to announce he would be happy to take on “The Eagle.”

Well @danawhite if @NateDiaz209 don’t wanna scrap with me I think the people want me & @TeamKhabib @ufc

Johnson’s offer was in reply to White’s recent claim that not only had Nate Diaz declined a matchup with Nurmagomedov but that “Nobody wants to fight Khabib.” Diaz has denied turning down the matchup.

Johnson appears ready to take on just about anybody in the lightweight division at this point, as he recently asked for Diaz, as well.

Johnson, a finalist on “The Ultimate Fighter 12? had his career breifly derailed a bit by back-to-back losses to Reza Madadi and Myles Jury. However, he’s looked scintillating in the wins over Tibau and Lauzon and now looks primed for a big matchup.

And it seems he’ll just keep asking for the biggest names available until the UFC finally grants his wish.
