Who wins the Flyweight Championship bout between Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson and John Dodson at UFC on Fox 6, and how?


RICH HANSEN, MMATORCH COLUMNIST

Dodson has the power advantage, but I don't think that he is going to be able to land consistently enough on the fastest fighter in the sport to score the upset. Johnson will do what Johnson does; stick and move and evade en route to a frenetically paced unanimous decision victory.


FRANK HYDEN, MMATORCH CONTRIBUTOR

I think Dodson gets the win here. I think it'll be a close and exciting fight, but I think Dodson gets the TKO win in the third round. I think this will be an early contender for Fight of the Year.


ERIC HOBAUGH, MMATORCH CONTRIBUTOR

I think Johnson wins this one by decision. He is just too strong in every aspect of MMA to be beaten by Dodson. Dodson is a good fighter, but Johnson is a superior fighter. Johnson is faster and that will be a good test for Johnson, but ultimately Johnson will prove to be too much for the challenger. This will be one of the fastest fights in the history of the sport and I cannot wait to see this one.


BRAD WALKER, MMATORCH COLUMNIST

I don't see any way that this fight ends on the ground, so I am going to turn my attention to the striking of these two men. I know how insanely fast they both are, I know how powerful Mighty Mouse is, and I know how agile Dodson can be. I just see this going the way of Johnson in the end. I would imagine he wins it by decision, but I will say there is a 15% chance he wins it with an incredibly fast knockout. This fight will be extremely entertaining, and for God's sake don't blink.


DAN MOORE, MMATORCH UK CONTRIBUTOR

I like John Dodson because he's lightening quick and fun to watch, I just don't think he's worthy of a title shot so soon. He's clearly got one because the Flyweight division lacks any kind of depth. Johnson has the speed and cardio to mach the challenger pace for pace with a little bit to spare. I really don't have high hopes for this one and I don't know why. As I've mentioned, both are extremely fast and that alone should guarantee a great fight. I just don't see it going that way. I have Johnson winning this by relatively boring decision.
