Johnson vs. Horiguchi

This is the official discussion thread for Johnson vs. Horiguchi. Let's see what you've got.

I think MM might just be the greatest fighter in the UFC. He not my favorite, though i am a fan, he might just be the best. He high level in every aspects of MMA, but his transition are just on another level then everyone else not just his division but in the UFC period. He might be even  better at transitioning then GSP. I just think even if someone is better at something then him which is rare, he can bring the fight where ever he wants it  almost at will it seems. He also seems to be getting power and he just completely unpredictable. It also does not hurt to have insane levels of speed and reflexes. Out side of getting caught I don't see anyone contending with MM. He also only looks to be getting better every time he gets in there, which is just scary. I think we will see him fighting in super fights sometime in the future. 

@MikeLovesTacosXD As previously mentioned, I don't think Horiguchi has much of a choice to decline.  The UFC is thin on contenders at 125 right now (thanks a lot John Lineker and Ali Bagautinov), as well as not really having an adequate amount of time to keep Mighty Mouse on the sidelines waiting to build up a contender for him to fight.  So considering that Horiguchi is the fighter in the division with the most momentum right now with his string of four victories and that fighters like Dodson, Moraga, Formiga, and Benavidez haven't fought enough fights to earn a title fight (although it would have been nice for them to set up a title eliminator match with one of those four guys against Horiguchi in a title eliminator fight), Horiguchi gets the title fight by default.

Not sure but is Cejudo not allowed at 125 anymore?

@rappinpapsoda - Dana White banned him from 125 since he's tried to make it many times and either pulls out due to medical reasons from the cut or doesn't even get within a few pounds of it.  So he fought his last fight at 135.  But now Cejudo is scheduled at 125 against Cariaso in 4 weeks so who knows what anyone's thinking by letting him attempt 125 for over a half dozen times without a single successful cut in his career.  It's not like he'd ever get a title shot there without many successful cuts, he's easily the most unreliable fighter on the UFC roster when it comes to making weight.  He should just fight at 135.

Basically, Cejudo begged to get another chance at 125 after his win at 135 and Dana said cool.

Hopefully he can start to make 125 so he fight MM for the title later on.

I hope the Lineker wins a fight or two at bantamweight then does the same thing. (Shot in the dark!)

They're just keeping that belt warm for Henry GOATjudo. 

I do not expect this pick to happen, but I want to see a Japanese champion.

gona happen
