Jordan Johnson Says UFC 213 Win Was an ‘Easy Fight’

July 9, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Jordan Johnson spoke (via MMAjunkie) following his win over Marcel Fortuna by unanimous decision at UFC 213. Highlights are below:

On the fight being scored 29 – 28: “He did not win a round; he didn’t do anything in that fight.”

On Fortuna’s performance: “Not to dog on him, but it was an easy fight. There was no reason to go out of first gear. So I just stayed in first gear. I just kept doing what I was doing. There was really no reason to crank it up. Because I could just do what I was doing and win the fight. Maybe if I could go back, maybe would’ve cranked it up a little bit. I just kind of went in there, and I just wanted to fight. Maybe, looking back, I’ll watch the tape. Probably should’ve just cranked it up and just gone in there and whooped his ass. Which I did do, but just whooped it worse.”

On what’s next: “We’re going to figure out the next step that’s going to get me to the title shot, and that’s what we’re going to do.”
