In an event that some are considering better than last weekend’s pay-per-view, UFC on FOX 24 goes down today on this Saturday, April 15th afternoon from the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
In the main event, pound-for-pound king and current UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson is looking for his record-tying 10th title defense against Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and seasoned competitor, Wilson Reis. Johnson has not lost a mixed martial arts battle in over six years, earning eleven straight victories with five coming by either TKO or submission. Reis, a former Bellator fighter and the former Elite XC bantamweight champion, rides a three-fight win streak coming in with a 6-2 record with the UFC.
The other three main card fights pack the potential as well, seeing former title challenger Rose Namajunas against former Invicta FC atomweight champion Michelle Waterson battle in the strawweight division. An extremely important middleweight battle between #3-ranked Jacare Souza and #6-ranked Robert Whittaker will be the second fight on the FOX card. Kicking off that main card is a clash between heavy-hitter Jeremy Stephens and the undefeated Renato Moicano at 155 pounds.
