Charles Johnson is an American fighter competing within the flyweight ranks of the UFC. Representing Murcielago MMA, he entered the promotion as a former champion of the Legacy Fighting Alliance. During his time on the regional circuit, he secured a successful defense of that flyweight title against Carlos Mota.

Since his arrival in the organization, he has tested himself against several divisional opponents, including triumphs over Zhalgas Zhumagulov and Jimmy Flick.

Entering his appearance at this event, Johnson holds an overall professional record of 13-5-0. His recent cage outings show alternating outcomes leading into this matchup.

This follow-up to his loss against Muhammad Mokaev marks his latest return to competition.
