On Dec. 3, 2011, John Dodson defeated T.J. Dillashaw to capture the bantamweight contract on season 14 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), which would eventually lead to a UFC on FOX 6 title fight against Demetrious Johnson. Here's how it all started.
UFC on FOX 6 will feature a 125-pound title fight in the main event when flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson defends his belt for the first time ever against John Dodson at the United Center in Chicago, Ill., on Jan. 26, 2013.
Demetrious Johnson will defend his freshly won flyweight championship for the first time against John Dodson sometime early next year. When he does so, he'll be the betting favorite.
