Michael Johnson thinks Khabib is playing a ‘dangerous game’ with the UFC
Michael Johnson is coming off the biggest win of his UFC career, a first round KO of Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC Fight Night 94 in Hidalgo, Texas. The victory earned Johnson a Performance of the Night bonus and a date with the UFC’s number one ranked lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov. That fight happens November 12th at UFC 205, at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Johnson, who has a record of 18-10, knows full well he has drawn a tough opponent in Nurmagomedov, whose record stands at 23-0.
