Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson and John Dodson are officially set to square off for the UFC flyweight title at UFC on FOX 6. The free card, set to take place in Chicago on January 26th, will be the third time that a title fight has been broadcast on FOX network television.

Johnson will be defending his flyweight title for the first time, after winning the promotion’s inaugural 125lbs. championship in September. Mighty Mouse defeated Joseph Benavidez in a fairly unconvincing split decision to earn the title, and will look to silence critics who have been quick to point out his inability to finish fights since his arrival in the UFC. Meanwhile Dodson is coming off a convincing second round TKO victory over Jussier Formiga at UFC on FX 5.

The card is shaping up to be an exciting one, and fight fans will undoubtedly be glad to see this match up added to a free, nationally broadcasted event that will already feature Rampage Jackson vs. Glover Teixeira and Donald Cerrone vs. Anthony Pettis.

Stay tuned to ProMMANow.com as the UFC on FOX 6 card continues to take shape in the coming weeks.
