Johnson had been set to challenge Jon Jones for the UFC Light Heavyweight title earlier this year before Jones ended up getting into a car accident an being stripped of the title. Johnson instead faced Daniel Cormier for an interim title at UFC 187, a bout that Cormier would win with a rear naked choke in the 3rd round. “Rumble” would rebound with a UFC 191 2nd round knock out of Jimi Manuwa.
The winner of this fight most likely will become the challenger for the expected Cormier vs. Jones 2, winner.
