Will Brooks vs Michael Johnson next?

[MuyThaiElbows]

I'd like to see it. I really liked how Brooks fought against a very tough vet in Ross Pearson. Michael Johnson would be a good test for Ill Will next. Thoughts? Yay or nay?

I'd like to see MJ get an easier fight coming off back to back "losses".

 

[BoosieBoo]

bad fight for MJ

 

[bjpenngoat]

bad fight for brooks. His boxing looked like shit against pearson and mj has fantastic tdd. I would bet it all on MJ.

Bad fight for Johnson.

But if he wins it could spring him back into contention.

Brooks vs Duffy.

Brooks vs Duffy.

Brooks is a champion coming from another organization. He needs to be fighting top ten guys especially after beating a seasoned vet in Pearson.

 

[anthony stark]

brooks will get arrested for black on black crime

 

[bd5919]

No. After that performance, it's back to the undercard.

 

[RedCansLoom16]

bad fight for MJ

Yea he looked unbeatable against fringe top 25 LW Ross Pearson last night

 

[Fight To Win]

It sounds like a good fight. Brooks vs. Khabib might be good too. I want to see if Brooks can handle Khabib's pressure and wrestling.

 

[Huligani]

I'll bet the house on Johnson.

Brooks needs a few fights before cracking the top 3.

I agree with Sherdog matches to make

Lets see Brooks vs Barboza/Melendez winner

Brooks, like Alvarez probably wasnt as good as his real abilities in his first fight, there's a lot of pressure when you come into the UFC with a lot of hype

We also saw Hector Lombard struggle with it

Brooks next performance will be much better than this one

As for Michael Johnson, lets match him up with the winner of Thiago Alves vs Al Iaqunnta

 

[Dart Feld]

Barboza/Gil winner

Came in off three weeks notice and still one two rounds easily.

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

Barboza/Gil winner

Or Barboza/Gil vs Ferguson/Chiesa winner. I'm thinking those winners get matched up next.

 

[Fight To Win]

Brooks needs a few fights before cracking the top 3.

I understand but I thought we were just talking about hypothetical matchups we wanted to see, since we're not Joe Silva. Ideally yeah I think Johnson vs. Brooks would be cool but he's coming off two straight losses although one is arguably a win.. and I don't think it's really kind to him to hand him a really tough guy like Brooks.

Brooks vs. Dunham when Dunham recovers from his recent injury might be good. Dunham beat Pearson after all and he's been on a tear.

I thought he looked good in there fighting in the UFC for the first time. I can't wait to see him in a full camp when's he's 100% ready to go. He's exciting for the 155 division indeed.
