Can ‘Lock Jaw’ Stay Undefeated at UFC 326?
Donte Johnson is an exciting rising star in the UFC who’s currently undefeated as a professional. At only 27 years old, he has stacked impressive wins after gaining his contract from Dana White’s Contender Series. Next weekend will be his toughest battle yet. He is set to face Serbian veteran Dusko Todorovic. The fans are excited for this fight, as Johnson has showcased explosive finishing ability.
Johnson is making a serious name for himself at a young age. He is massive with great focus and good stamina. A huge knockout won him his contract, and he has since gone undefeated in the UFC octagon. Wins over Darion Abbey and Sedriquez Dumas were impressive, leading him to gain the opportunity to fight at UFC 326. He also demonstrated that he doesn’t focus solely on striking and scored a submission victory as well. Dusko is going to be a difficult test, but one that Johnson can overcome. The 31-year-old Serbian is a veteran of the sport, currently holding a 13-6 record. He has scored impressive wins over some of the more elite in the Middleweight Division. Dusko, too, has knockout and submission abilities that come with the many years of experience that he possesses. Defeating Dusko will prove that Johnson is not only dominant over the other prospects in the division but that he can defeat the more experienced and better fighters. A victory for Johnson can push him to the next tier of the Middleweight Division and possibly earn a fight against a ranked opponent within the year. Dusko can act as a gatekeeper and derail the forward progression of a rising star. The excitement is high for next week’s fight.
Although Dusko is a difficult test, Johnson has a lot of hype behind him. He has excited the fans and looks to continue growing as a fighter. A win will help him find more opportunities to build his name and earn more significant fights. A loss will highlight that there are some holes in his process, and he will need to focus more on how he trains and prepares for his fights.
