UFC Vegas 101’s Jose Johnson Interview (2:07)
Kicking off this edition of TTP is our interview with UFC flyweight, Jose Johnson. Johnson discusses his absolutely bonkers amateur career, which he says spans far more than Tapology can even fathom. He also talks about his reasons for fighting and how the intention never really was to make money. Plus, he digs into the reasons and when that changed, and he began to understand that he could do this at a high level. He’ll once again look to show that high level this Saturday against Felipe Bunes – and we break down the stylistic matchup of that fight as well.
