Fourth win of 2024
Johnson defeated Su Mudaerji via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Typically tasked as the underdog, Johnson entered this fight as a -300 favorite. He came through. Just barely. The first and third rounds of this bout were extremely competitive. Mudaerji predictably looked good on the feet, while Johnson was able to get his grappling game going. But the biggest moment of the fight came when Charles connected on a huge Round 2 knockdown that nearly earned him the stoppage. In the end, all three judges felt he did enough to win. Johnson has now won four straight fights, all in the calendar year 2024.

ANALYSIS
Johnson has been busy so far in 2024, winning three straight matchups in the octagon, the most recent being against Joshua Van (KO) back in July. The 33-year-old American will take on Chinese-fighter Mudaerji, who hasn't won a matchup since 2021.

Pulls upset of Joshua Van
Johnson defeated Joshua Van via KO (punch) at 0:20 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Denver.
ANALYSIS
It's a nice upset win for Johnson as a +215 underdog. It also didn't come easy. Charles started strong, aided by the fact Van, as usual, seemed to take the opening round off. As expected, Van carried the pace throughout the middle portion of the fight and seemed to be in good shape going into Round 3, at which point Johnson came out on fire and landed a few massive blows, the final of which shockingly put Van away for good. The stoppage by referee Joe Coca wasn't great, but Johnson still deserves credit for a strong effort. The 33-year-old "InnerG" has quietly racked up three straight wins in the past five-plus months, and he'll walk away with a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for his efforts here.
