Brandon Johnson: “I’m more than happy to stand and bang”
Brandon Johnson couldn’t have been any happier to hear the news that he would be fighting for two belts in one fight with a win granting him the opportunity for a world tournament. What fighter wouldn’t salivate at that offer? Stellar Fights and the WKA have made just that opportunity happen.

Stephen Burden has 14 fights between his kickboxing/MMA resume, to Johnsons 5-5 MMA record. When asked about what’ll play a key factor in the bout to give Johnson the edge, he boldly states, “Cardio.” Following with “I can give shots, I can take shots.” I’m happy to get in a dog fight”
