Weight Class: Flyweight Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (21-2-1) has a rematch on his hands when he defends his title against John Dodson (18-6) at UFC 191. The second only to Jose Aldo as the longest-serving champion currently active in UFC, Johnson has spoken recently of both moving back up to bantamweight for a superfight, and breaking Anderson Silva's title defense streak. First, however, he needs to again defeat Dodson, who actually holds a win over current bantamweight champ T.J. Dillashaw. Dodson hasn't lost since their first meeting in 2013, where he knocked Johnson down twice early in the fight but couldn't finish him. Johnson, meanwhile, has not lost since 2011 (his lone draw came in 2012), and looks to continue that streak. If anyone is to beat Mighty Mouse, it's Dodson, but it feels as if he should have taken another fight or two after returning from injury. The smart money here is Johnson by decision.
