LAS VEGAS – Charles Johnson is looking for a step up in competitors.
Now on a four-fight successful streak, Johnson (17-6 MMA, 6-4 UFC) is hoping to get one of many larger names within the flyweight division – Kai Kara-France or Manel Kape. This request comes after Johnson defeated Su Mudaerji (16-7 MMA, 3-4 UFC) in a unanimous resolution on the primary card of Saturday’s UFC Battle Evening 245.
“I might like to combat a Kai – not Asakura, however the different one: Kara-France,” Johnson stated on the UFC Battle Evening 245 post-fight press convention. “I might like to combat a Manel Kape. I might like to combat these guys within the prime eight. I feel I’ve achieved sufficient to indicate I’m prepared for that.”
Johnson is hoping the UFC pushes him extra in alternative and promotion. He believes he might make large noise at 125 kilos, a division wanted of massive names.
“It appears like I’m getting each undefeated man, each robust problem earlier than I get that chance and I simply need to present them I’m an American, I can speak, I’ve bought the swag,” Johnson stated. “I’ve bought all the pieces this weight class wants. Y’all want any individual to market? These guys can’t communicate English. Simply because they’re overseas, I’ve bought nothing in opposition to them. However they don’t know find out how to market themselves. No one is speaking. … I simply assume I’m in a first-rate place to take over and do what must be achieved to make this a weight class persons are enthusiastic about.”
