While the card still lacks a headliner, a heavyweight matchup has been added to the UFC’s first Brazilian event of 2018.
UFC officials recently announced the addition of Luis Henrique (10-4 MMA, 2-3 UFC) vs. Timothy Johnson (11-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) to UFC Fight Night 125, which takes place Feb. 3 at Manguerinho Gymnasium in Belem. The night’s main card airs on FS1.
Brazilian “KLB” Henrique is likely fighting for his job as he looks to snap the first two-fight losing streak of his career – a UFC 215 decision loss to Arjan Bhullar and a UFC 209 TKO defeat at the hands of Marcin Tybura. Prior to the losses, Henrique had earned back-to-back submission wins over Christian Colombo and Dmitry Smoliakov.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota-born Johnson will actually seek to avoid the first back-to-back defeats of his career as he seeks to rebound from a July loss to upstart Junior Albini. Johnson has actually alternated wins and losses thus far in his six-fight UFC run, earning wins over Daniel Omielanczuk, Tybura and Shamil Abdurakhimov and falling short against Albini, Alexander Volkov and Jared Rosholt.
