Charles Johnson
Flyweight | 31 | St. Louis, Missouri | 11-2 | Win streak: 4 | 4 KO/TKOs, 3 Submissions
Johnson last July captured the LFA title and defended last August in a classic against Carlos Mota. Johnson took some time off from MMA to box and came back last year to become an MMA champ. St. Louis’s own Johnson has been putting in work at Tiger Muay Thai sharpening his game. Lately, it’s shown tremendously. His only losses are to Brandon Royval and Sean Santella. If he isn’t signed straight to the UFC the Contender Series will be on the horizon.
Tereza Bleda
Flyweight | 25 | Prague, Czech Republic | 5-0 | Win streak: 14 | 2 KO/TKOs, 2 Submissions
Bledá is only 5-0 but prior to turning pro, she took part in the Oktagon Underground tournament. Bleda won three fights in three months and was crowned as the Underground winner. In that tournament, she beat good prospects in Magdaléna Šormová and Lucia Szabová while also beating former UFC fighter Lucie Pudilová. Doing that with little experience is super impressive. Where Bleda excels is when using the excellent wrestling she has. Once she gets it to the mat she has nasty ground and pound and smooth jiu-jitsu. Bleda has been dominant and is primed for a UFC opportunity.
