A lightweight bout between former TUF contestant Michael Johnson (11-6) and Team Alpha Male member Danny Castillo (14-4) has been added to UFC 151.
UFC officials announced the fight earlier this week.
UFC 151 is set to take place on Sept. 1 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nev. The headline bout will feature current light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones defending his title against veteran Dan Henderson. The main card for this event will air on Pay-Per-View with the prelims expected to air on FX and Facebook.
Blackzilian fighter Michael Johnson enters this bout on a two fight winning streak. His most recent victory was over Tony Ferguson at UFC on Fox 3 where he won via unanimous decision. Prior to that victory Johnson also defeated Shane Roller by unanimous decision at UFC on Fox 2 in January.
Since losing to Jonathan Brookins at The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale, Michael has gone 3-1 in the UFC with his only other promotional loss coming at the hands of British fighter Paul Sass.

The former WEC fighter has gone 4-1 since switching over to the UFC .
