LONDON – Charles Johnson thinks Muhammad Mokaev will be shooting for takedowns early in their fight. Johnson (11-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) faces Mokaev (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 208 event, which takes place at The O2 in London. The card streams on ESPN+. Mokaev is known for his elite grappling, but Johnson sees an overzealous approach from him and plans on making him pay on the feet. “He’s young and he fights that way sometimes,” Johnson told MMA Junkie.
