After notching his third straight win, Timothy Johnson wants a shot at the Bellator heavyweight title. Johnson (15-6 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) avenged his loss to Cheick Kongo in the main event of Bellator Europe 10 on Saturday, edging out the hometown fighter by split decision at Accor Arena in Paris, France. Johnson prevailed as an underdog once again and thinks his upset wins over the formerly unbeaten Tyrell Fortune and UFC veterans Matt Mitrione and Kong are enough to warrant a title shot against heavyweight champion Ryan Bader (27-6 MMA, 5-1 BMMA). Speaking to reporters after his win in France, Johnson explained that, while he’s targeting a return in early 2021, he’d be willing to answer the call for a title shot at any time.
