| DJ is eyeing an incredible 10th title defence: |
The #1 P4P fighter in the world Demetrious Johnson. will look for an incredible 10th successful title this weekend, as he takes on #3 ranked Flyweight contender Wilson Reis. Arguably the most skilled and well rounded mixed martial artists to ever grace the octagon, 'Mighty Mouse' is an explosive wrestler, slick striker and an accomplished grappler, but hasn't faced as good a BJJ practitioner as Brazilian Wilson Reis in his professional career. The pair were expected to commence battle back at UFC 201, but an early injury to DJ forced him from the bout, while Reis was rescheduled to face Hector Sandoval, winning early via rear-naked choke, before winning via decision against Ulka Sasaki at UFC 208. Reis presents a credible danger on the canvas, with the Alliance MMA star a black belt in BJJ. Johnson's slick and crisp boxing and dangerous knees on the feet will obviously present itself as DJ's best option to finish the bout, finishing both Henry Cejudo and Joseph Benavidez on the feet. Out of all of Johnson's attributes his grappling could be argued as his weakess, even though he's finished 9 opponents on the mat, Reis has forced the tap from Zach Makovsky, Scott Jorgensen and even SBG striking coach Owen Roddy in his professional career along with 7 other submission wins. Even though Reis is a dominant grappler, I just can't imagine DJ not securing that 10th title defence, and would even go as far to say, not find another octagon finish.
Demetrious Johnson via knockout.
