Overview
- Johnson, who took the mic Friday at UFC 327 events in Miami, asked UFC boss Dana White for a fight.
- On the weigh-in show, after Daniel Cormier floated a name, he challenged former champion Israel Adesanya and invited him to Miami.
- Dana White offered no commitment and had said in September that the 48-year-old was too old to fight in the UFC.
- Johnson admitted he likely cannot beat full-time MMA fighters, said his ground game is shaky, and pointed to a 2021 boxing exhibition.
- The UFC has recently engaged with other crossover athletes like Maxx Crosby and Jaylen Brown, yet no matchup for Johnson is scheduled.
