Johnson is a domestic level guy that doesn't deserve this shot. Vlasov should have gotten the rematch instead.

Good card, looking forward to seeing the steel worker champion again. There has been W reel shortage of ESPN cards and this one may be work a few ales

Big fan of Smith Jr. He’s usually in real good fights. I had the privilege of seeing him live in Chicago vs Fonfara back in 2016. He went from getting caught with punches and possibly being in trouble, to a KD and eventual TKO stoppage win against Fonfara in the blink of an eye. It was incredible.

Barnburner! Smith by KO in slugfest! Will ressemble Johnson vs Beterbiev..

Smith has better chin Johnson is gonna knocked out bad

Good fight but Johnson being hurt by that no name and looking like crap lessens the excitement a bit, i expect him to get knocked out pretty early. Having said that Smith looked like crap agaisnt Vlasov, but theres a big difference between Vlasov and Server Emurlaev
