How did the first fight between UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson and John Dodson play out? Depends on which one you ask.
In an extended video preview of their upcoming rematch, UFC 191 headliners Johnson (22-2-1 MMA, 10-1-1 UFC) and Dodson (17-6 MMA, 7-1 UFC) walk us through that initial bout, which took place at UFC on FOX 6 in January 2013.
Among Johnson’s six title defenses, it was undoubtedly the champ’s toughest challenge. Unlike Dodson, though, “Mighty Mouse” believes he clearly won the fight.
Watch the full Johnson vs. Dodson I fight now, or catch them back in action on Sept. 5 at UFC 191, which airs on pay-per-view from Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. The bout pits No. 1 vs. No. 2 in the NOS Energy Drink MMA flyweight rankings.
