Welcome to F4WOnline.com’s live coverage of UFC On FOX 24: Johnson vs. Reis, emanating from the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

The event is headlined by UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson looking to make history as he defends the championship for the tenth time, this time against Wilson Reis. Johnson is looking to tie Anderson Silva for most consecutive successful title defenses and hold onto his spot as the top pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. Reis gets a title shot on the heels of three straight wins, and wins in five of his last six fights.

In the co-main event, it will be a battle between high-ranked womens’ strawweights as Rose Namajunas takes on Michelle Waterson, with a potential title shot waiting in the wings for the winner. Also on the main card is a pivotal bout in the middleweight division as Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza, on the last fight of his current UFC contract, takes on Robert Whittaker, winner of six straight fights.

A fighter to keep an eye on during the preliminary card is Tom Duquesnoy, who is making his UFC debut. He comes in with a 14-1 record, unbeaten in his last eleven, and is perhaps the most exciting prospect in the sport, and has the potential to be a future title challenger at 135 pounds.
