Johnson

By FCF Staff

It may have taken three months longer than originally planned, but the UFC finally has an opponent for Joseph Benavidez, as Demetrious Jonson worked his way to a unanimous decision win over Ian McCall tonight to advance to the flyweight tournament finals.

After the two battled to a controversial draw in March, Johnson and McCall once again engaged in a competitive and fast paced bout, but in the end, Johnson outscored his opponent for the semifinal victory.

Johnson will fight Benavidez later this year to determine the UFC flyweight champion.
