As reported by İdman.Biz, Johnson took to social media to engage his followers, inviting them to predict the outcome of the fight. “Say it now – how will it end: a finish, a decision or a masterclass? If you guess it right, I might come back to you,” he wrote on Instagram.
The contest is scheduled for 27 June and forms part of a major UFC card in the Azerbaijani capital, as the promotion continues to expand its presence in new markets.
