Johnson injured, UFC 201 fight with Reis delayed

Brazil’s Globo reports that UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson suffered an injury, and is out of his title defense vs. Wilson Reis at UFC 201 on July 30, 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia.? The fight has been pushed off, but there is no announcement as to when.

In a sport chronically beset with injuries, Johnson has been relatively resistant. He is the UFC’s most active champion, with eight title defenses, and has dropped out only once before with injury, vs. John Moraga at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale in 2013.
