UFC 174: Johnson vs. Bagautinov Post-Fight Press Conference

On Saturday, June 14, the UFC hosted UFC 174: Johnson vs. Bagautinov from the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

In the night’s main event, the promotion’s flyweight title was on the line as champion Demetrious Johnson looked for his fourth title defense against Dagestan native Ali Bagautinov. After seeing the scorecards in his first seven Octagon appearances, Johnson had made a statement with back-to-back finishes of John Moraga and Joseph Benavidez in his last two bouts. Bagautinov, meanwhile, stepped into his title challenge riding an 11-fight winning streak, including three straight in the UFC.

The night’s co-main event pitted two top-ranked welterweights against one another as Canada’s Rory MacDonald clashed with former Strikeforce title challenger Tyron Woodley.

Rounding out the main card was a light heavyweight bout between Ultimate Fighter winner Ryan Bader and former Strikeforce champion Rafael Cavalcante, a heavyweight collision between former champion Andrei Arlovski and TUF runner-up Brendan Schaub, and another 205-pound affair between Ovince St. Preux and Canadian karate practitioner, Ryan Jimmo.

The 11-fight card kicked off Saturday at 7 p.m. ET with two fights streaming on UFC Fight Pass. Four additional bouts followed on FX on at 8 p.m. ET, with the pay-per-view main card beginning at 10 p.m. ET.
