TAMPA, Fla. – Michael Johnson has spent about 40 percent of his life as a UFC fighter in a career with the promotion that’s about to hit 15 years. Johnson started in the company all the way back on Season 12 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” He lost the lightweight final to Jonathan Brookins in 2010, but that jump-started a UFC run that now has hit 30 fights. The names on that list are a virtual who’s-who of the lightweight division over the years, too: Tony Ferguson, Edson Barboza, Beneil Dariush, Nate Diaz, Dustin Poirier, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje all have stood across from Johnson. But other than a modest four-fight streak in 2015, Johnson hasn’t won more than two fights in a row, keeping any kind of title-push momentum to a minimum.
