Johnson: I’d fight next week if I need to
In his last fight, Michael Johnson was on the wrong side of a bad decision in most fans and media’s eyes. But you can’t change the past and Johnson is just looking forward.

All my plans just got set back because of judges that don’t have knowledge of the sport, Johnson said. We should feel comfortable in knowing these judges will get it right. Nothing went on with these judges lives. My life just took a 180, and I just lost my four-winning streak. I just lost a little bit of momentum, and now I’ve got to play a little bit of catch-up and hope the UFC makes the right decision.
I’d fight next week if I need to. Remember, I only got half of my money that I was supposed to. That’s a big concern, as well, for me right now. I’m still in shape. I can turn around and fight next week. I just need to fight and get back in there and show people that I’m a threat in this division, and I shouldn’t be getting robbed like that.
Despite the controversial loss to Beniel Dariush, Johnson did not drop in the rankings and will likely be matched up with another top contender soon.
