Following his knockout victory over Dustin Poirier at the UFC Fight Night 94 event on Saturday night, Michael Johnson is now finding himself the subject of a challenge issued by a former UFC Champion.
Johnson knocked out Poirier in the first round of the event held at the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas this weekend, and afterwards, spoke about wanting that “Conor McGregor money.”
After indicating that he would like a big money fight, it didn’t take long for a well-known name to chime in with an offer.
Former UFC Lightweight Champion Anthony “Showtime” Pettis took to Twitter after last night’s event to make it clear that he is willing and ready to take on fights with the likes of Johnson and/or Jose Aldo, who also mentioned his name recently.
“UFC, I’ll take Michael Johnson or Jose Aldo,” wrote Pettis on social media after UFC Fight Night 94.
@ufc I'll take @FollowTheMenace Or @josealdojunior
