UFC on FOX 8 : Demetrious Johnson vs John Moraga Live Stream
The UFC will visit Seattle’s Key Arena this weekend for UFC on Fox 8. On Saturday, UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson will put his title on the line against fourth-ranked contender John Moraga in the main event " UFC on FOX 8: Johnson vs Maraga Live Stream ". The co-main event will feature a bout between highly ranked welterweight contenders Rory MacDonald and Jake Ellenberger.
Moraga will look to end Johnson’s reign as the UFC’s inaugural flyweight champion.
That reign began at UFC 152 when Johnson earned a split decision over the favored Joseph Benavidez. Since that win, Johnson has defended the title once, defeating John Dodson.
The fighters in the co-main event are ranked third (MacDonald) and fourth (Ellenberger) in the welterweight category. A win in this bout could very well set the victor up as the next fighter to compete for the UFC welterweight title, a title that champion Georges St-Pierre will put on the line against Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in November.
