Johnson defeats McCall, earns shot at flyweight title

Demetrious Johnson and Ian McCall had to wait three months to play back their first fight – and rounds 4-5-6 were just as fun as 1-2-3.

It stands to reason the two flyweights could go another three rounds and still not have things truly settled. But on Friday, it was Johnson who finally emerged as the other half of the UFC's first 125-pound title fight. Johnson took a unanimous decision with scores of 29-28, 30-27 and 29-28.

The flyweight fight took place at UFC on FX 3 at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. The bout served as the main event, which was broadcast on FX following a preliminary card that aired on Facebook and FUEL TV. The fight was the first flyweight main event in UFC history.
