UFC 191 is underway.
The fight card features a flyweight title bout between champion Demetrious Johnson and challenger John Dodson. Saturday will mark the second time the flyweights square off, with Johnson owning a decision win over Dodson from 2013.
Since their first contest Johnson has established himself as one of the most revered fighters on the planet. He has strung together five title defenses (running his total to six), earning three stoppages.
Dodson has been perfect as well, posting a 3-0 record since losing to Johnson. His latest victory came via decision over Zach Makovsky.
The co-main event of UFC 191 goes at the other end of the weight spectrum, where heavyweights Frank Mir and Andrei Arlovski will pair up. Arlovski has won five straight, including three since returning to the UFC. Mir enters with back-to-back victories in tow, both of which he earned in less than two minutes.
