That's the problem johnsons style has never been to sit on a lead. He shouldnt try to do that because its not his style. Was convinced green being his main sparring partner would have him fully prepared for this fight since he already has a win over emmet. What happened to the guy that slept porrier, worked barbozaand Ferguson's and cant even ko Lobov these days

Poor ******* MJ man. Was having a close hard battle with Emmett, took round 1 off Elkins and hit Khabib with some hard combos. And still gets finished, dude can't catch a ******* break when he actually looks solid in a fight

Johnson was protesting to the ref before the bruce called out the KO. How embarassing

Bektic would lose unless he pulled out the KO fast, his conditioning sucks. Emmett KO's him IMO.

Was looking forward to Johnson vs Stephen's or something but now I dont think he will ever break the top15 again. No emmet fight excites me to be honest
