Jarred Brooks is no longer in the UFC, but he still has the same goal he had during his Octagon run: a fight against Demetrious Johnson.
When Brooks signed with the UFC early last year, Johnson was the promotion’s flyweight champion. Every flyweight, including Brooks, wanted to fight him, because he had what every flyweight wanted — the belt — and had reigned over the division ever since it was introduced to the UFC in 2012.
Today, neither Brooks nor Johnson are UFC fighters. In fact, the flyweight division’s days in the UFC may be numbered, too.
