Charles Johnson to Meet Former Flyweight No. 1 Contender at UFC 324

A matchup of flyweight veterans has been added to the UFC 324 lineup.

Charles Johnson will square off against Alex Perez on Jan. 24 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Johnson confirmed the booking on social media following an initial report from MMAFighting.com. UFC 324 is headlined by an interim lightweight title tilt between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett, while Kayla Harrison will defend her bantamweight crown against Amanda Nunes in the evening’s co-main event.

Opposite Directions

The 34-year-old Johnson has been victorious in five of his last six Octagon appearances.
