Michael Johnson

[Moeshaak Hammer]

Is anybody else surprised that Michael Johnson is still in the UFC?

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Yes, I can only assume they keep him around because he has wins over Tony, Edson and Dustin when he was having good days.

Happy the guy still has a job but he's probably the most 1 dimensional male fighter in the ufc. He's a finish or get finish style fighter though. Either he koes people or quickly gets subbed. Probably why they like him. Highlight reel win or lose

 

[KantoTerror]

Johnson fights with finishes whether its him or his opponents....its either he offers someone to the just bleeds or he's the offering....

I like watching him fight so I'm glad he's still around. His record isn't great but as mentioned above, wins over some very good guys and a FOTY with Gaethje.

He's an entertaining fighter so I can see why they keep him around. He isn't anywhere near as bad as his record suggests.

His last fight was only a few weeks ago so there’s still time for him to get cut. The worrying thing was that Guida was landing consistently on him and was winning the striking battle at times. Usually MJ wins on the feet and loses on the mat.

 

[Chubi]

He never was a top 5 guy, but his downfall is still one of the worst.

 

[Flying omoplata]

Dana loves the TUF fighters and he has beaten a lot of the best

 

[The_Renaissance]

Surely, he's gonna be cut soon? He seems to have not won a fight since 2016 or something. Completely over the hill now.

He's getting there though, his last three losses are to Stevie Ray, Thiago Moises and 2021 Clay Guida, it's not like he's only losing to the best anymore.

if he loses again hes probobly getting cut

 

[Redman092000]

4 wins in his last 12 fights . I personally think if he loses he should hang it up and coach wrestling or get a 9-5.

After the heart he displayed against Khabib he can stay as long as he likes

 

[zxyss25]

He's entertaining and talented

Yes, he does put up some rotten egg performances once in a while, but when he's on, he can compete with the top 5

Also, that performance against Gaethje should give him a lifetime contract - fight of the decade contender

He got robbed in the Stevie Ray decision, got caught against Moises, and Guida is a horrible matchup for him - but yes they are still losses at the end of the day

 

[Krixes]

He's still living off those wins over Tony, Edson, and Dustin. It's crazy he beat those 3 guys...

Here’s the deal with Michael Johnson. Any time he fights, theres over a 90% chance that the fight will not go to a decision. He is a finish or be finished kinda fighter.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

He has a very unpredictic carrer

Losing to the worst and beating the best.

 

[KantoTerror]

Losing to the worst and beating the best.

he's the quintessential "anything can happen" fighter...I was betting against him vs Tony, Edson and Dustin....and I bet for him vs Elkins and Clay...that's 5/5 he proved me wrong...lol.
