2 years agoA veteran of the UFC since TUF 12 in 2010, Michael Johnson (21-18) will seek his third win in four bouts when he meets Diego Ferreira on Saturday. After losing four fights in a row, Johnson has turned it around by winning two of his last three. With nine knockout/TKO victories in his career, Johnson sports very dangerous striking power. DraftKings sees "The Menace" as the underdog with a salary of $7,500. Throughout his UFC career of 27 bouts, Johnson averages 51.9 fantasy points per contest. Ferreira is on a three-fight losing streak, which will give Johnson an opportunity to continue his winning ways.

3 years agoIn what many considered a controversial split-decision loss, Michael Johnson landed 66 significant strikes (68 total strikes) in 15 minutes of action against Jamie Mullarkey on Saturday. With the loss, Johnson moves to 1-5 in his last six contests. The 36-year-old lightweight appeared to many to have won his bout. Johnson dropped Mullarkey in the first and had him reeling several times in the third round. The effort was enough to earn fight-of-the-night honors. Should we see Johnson continued to be matched up in such a manner, it's likely he'll earn a few more wins on fight nights.

3 years agoA veteran of the UFC since TUF Season 12 in 2010, Michael Johnson (20-17) returns to action on Saturday after a big knockout victory in May. Going into his last matchup against Alan Patrick with a four-fight losing streak, Johnson showed he still has some power in the gas tank. DraftKings sees Johnson as the big underdog with a salary of $7,100. Through his extensive UFC career, Johnson averages 51.9 fantasy points per contest. A big-time striker, nine of his 20 career wins have come by KO/TKO. His opponent, Jamie Mullarkey, is 2-3 in the UFC and is coming off of a loss. If there is another chance for Johnson to score a big knockout victory, this just might be it.
