This is a big step up competition for MJ if he gets his wish granted and I honestly don't think he'll be able to pull it off if he gets his wish granted.

That's a SOTN bonus right there for Nate I would think. But I'm 1-4 picking MJ.

Nate should probably dominate that fight, but since it's Michael Johnson, he'd probably kick Nate's ass. That's just how it goes with him.

Yeah Johnson needs a step up in competition, I was thinking Cerrone or Maynard but Diaz works just as fine.

I actually like Johnson vs Jim Miller as an option a bit more, I really never thought I'd see the day I thought of Michael Johnson as a contender but....I do. 

Honestly, Tibau and Joe Lauzon are two big wins back to back for anyone and he wrecked them. He needs a big fight next in my opinion. Michael Johnson and Bobby Greene about to put some black in the Lightweight division.

Advice to you all, when MJ get his next fight set, wait for me to pick and then go the other way ... if he moves up to heavyweight to fight Cain Velasquez, pick him to win, because I won't and he will win :)

I would like to think Nate would walk through Johnson but yeah I could see him under performing and losing a decision somehow.

I'm 0-6 when picking Michael ******* Johnson so I shouldn't say anything, but I think he could beat Nate Diaz with relative ease.

I can see him employ the Josh Thomson gameplan with relative success.

Johnson has looked great but Diaz is definitely a big step up from Lauzon and Tibau.  If he game plans right he might get the win, but I'd probably pick Diaz.

Biting off more than he can chew, especially when it hits the ground, Diaz can sub him all day
