UFC 201: Demetrious Johnson vs Wilson Reis

A few days ago we confirmed that the main event of UFC 201 will feature Robbie Lawler and Tyron Woodley for the UFC Welterweight Championship. On this occasion, we confirm that a new Championship fight has been added to the card and will be the co-main event of this upcoming event, which will take place on July 30th at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

The current UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson will put his title on the line against Wilson Reis in what could be his ninth title defense against the eighth-ranked contender. The Champion is determined to surpass the record of ten consecutive title defenses held by Anderson Silva.

Mighty Mouse will come into this fight after defeating Henry Cejudo in just a few minutes at UFC 197: Jones vs St. Preux, securing his eighth consecutive title defense and solidifying his position as the only Flyweight Champion in the history of the company. This will be Demetrious Johnson's second-to-last fight under his previous contract, as the Champion recently signed a new contract for eight more fights.

The Brazilian fighter Wilson Reis has only had six fights in the UFC, but in Mixed Martial Arts, he has fought 26 times (with a record of 20-6), so he could be a tough opponent for Demetrious Johnson.
