UFC 186: Johnson vs. Horiguchi fight card


A look at the Saturday, April 25th UFC 186 pay-per-view in Montreal, QC, Canada, where flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson defends his belt against Japan's Kyoji Horiguchi.


I think we've beaten to death how much UFC 186 has been battered with injuries and lawsuit-related pullouts, so let's just focus on the current card. Demetrious Johnson is one of the top fighters in all of MMA, and he'll be defending his flyweight belt against Japanese sensation Kyoji Horiguchi. Middleweights Michael Bisping and C.B. Dollaway aim to keep themselves relevant in the middleweight top 10 in the co-main. With Quinton Jackson out of his match-up with Fabio Maldonado, Steve Bosse has come out of retirement to face the Brazilian. John Makdessi and Shane Campbell tango in an all-Canadian affair, while Thomas Almeida looks to extend his unbeaten streak against Yves Jabouin.


On the prelims are a pair of ranked women's MMA contests, as Sarah Kaufman rematches Alexis Davis on Fox Sports 1, while strawweights Aisling Daly and Randa Markos open up the Fight Pass broadcast.
