If John Dodson were the UFC flyweight champion, the division would move a far greater number of pay-per-views.
At least, that's what some folks contend. When Dodson entered the UFC through The Ultimate Fighter, he received a tremendous push and was considered by many to be the flyweight champion in waiting. He had all of the slickness and speed in his feet that we constantly tout to the flyweight non-believers, but he was knocking men unconscious while he was at it.
Hitting hard at a bodyweight of 125 lbs (granted, there's a good few extra on him by the time he gets in the cage) is pretty difficult, but Dodson has it down to an art. Additionally, through his wide arm swinging style, he can seemingly punch with power while moving away and while on one leg.
Entering his rematch with flyweight champion, Demetrious Johnson at UFC 191, Dodson remains the pundits' favorite among the flyweight roster to dethrone Johnson. He's not being given great chances, but he's been in there with Johnson before and had Johnson in deep trouble early on. Almost three years removed from their original meeting, where the class and craft of the champion allowed him to rally and convincingly best Dodson, we are all wondering if 'The Magician' has anything new tricks to show for it.
