SUNRISE, Fla. - With the injury bug feasting on a small army of UFC headliners, UFC president Dana White doesn't want to waste any time finalizing an already-determined title fight.
With his win over Ian McCall at Friday's UFC on FX 3 event, Demetrious Johnson is now slated to fight fellow tournament finalist Joseph Benavidez for the inaugural UFC flyweight title.
Expect that title fight to be booked sooner rather than later.
