UFC Kansas City - Fight by Fight Preview
DEMETRIOUS JOHNSON VS. WILSON REIS
UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson’s quest for history runs through Kansas City, and looking to keep him from tying Anderson Silva’s record for successful UFC title defenses is Wilson Reis. Reis told me that he’s confident that he can beat Johnson wherever the fight takes him, but it’s the ground game that’s the Brazilian’s key to pulling off the upset. If Reis can get the fight to the mat, it becomes a much different fight. On the feet, Johnson will hold the edge, and it’s likely that “Mighty Mouse” will use his speed and movement to give him his best chance of racking up successful title defense number ten.
