Michael Johnson was once one of the hottest prospects in the UFC lightweight division. Last night he delivered a statement knock out, making a case for himself to stay in the UFC.
Johnson defeated Alan Patrick with a very good combination capped off with an impressive left hook.
“My performance speaks for itself,” Johnson said afterwards. “The journey was rough. I was in a dark, dark place. I saw the light and just got out of that dark hole.
“That still shows people I’m one of the best strikers in this division. I’ve got a lot to climb, I’m onto the next step.”
