Ben Henderson isn’t the only Western Washington fighter competing tonight at WEC 48 inside Arco Arena in Sacramento.

Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson is fighting England’s Brad “One Punch” Pickett in one of the numerous undercard matches. Johnson is fighting out of Kirkland. The 5-foot-3, 135-pounder came int0 the night with a perfect 10-0 MMA record and has earned the reputation as one of the sport’s top prospects.

The Johnson and Pickett fight of the night, so far. But Pickett handed Johnson his first-ever defeat. The win moved Pickett to 20-4 and dropped Johnson to 10-1. The two fought a very high-intensity match, but the more experienced Pickett just had too much for Johnson.

Only five more preliminary fights until Ben Henderson defends his lightweight championship. Stay tuned.,.
