Planen var att Michael Johnson skulle möta Benson Henderson vid ”UFC: TUF 21 Finale”, en match som skulle ägt rum den 12 juli. Nu ser det ut som att det inte kommer bli något möte, då Benson ska ha skadat sig.
Detta hade Michael att säga om det hela, och han tror att Henderson helt enkelt inte vågar möta honom, via ”MMAJunkie”:
To tell you the truth I don’t think Benson wants to fight me; I think he’s a little scared. We’ll see. I was supposed to fight him, he pulled out with an injury, said he would fight me three weeks later and I haven’t heard from him since.
I heard he has a detached retina. Then I heard he could fight me three weeks later. I’m thinking to myself, ‘A detached retina, but you can still fight me three weeks later?’ Then I heard a rumor about him doing some jiu-jitsu tournament and I’m like, ‘Man, everything’s pointing to that he doesn’t want to fight me.’
I wanted to fight Benson; he didn’t want to take the fight right away I guess. It looks like I’m going to have to fight down for one more fight, then I guess we’ll see. I don’t really have time to wait for any of these top guys to get open, so I just have to keep fighting.
Om det blir något möte mellan dessa två kämpar återstår i dagsläget att se, men troligtvis ser vi i alla fall Johnson tillbaka inne i oktagonen inom kort.
