Johnson vs. McCall Likely For TUF Finale

In the wake of the more than controversial ending to the recent Ian McCall (11-2-1, 0-0-1 UFC) vs. Demetrious Johnson (14-2-1, 2-1-1 UFC) fight, it was announced they will likely meet again in June.

The winner meets Benavidez later this year when they fight for the UFC's first-ever flyweight title.

'Mighty Mouse' and McCall started off the UFC's first ever four-man flyweight tournament earlier this month on 'UFC on FX 2' in Australia.

After a an entertaining fight, Johnson initially was named the winner via split judges decision.

Officials then said the scorecards were added incorrectly and Johnson actually was a majority-decision winner.

In a strange turn of events, Craig Waller, the executive director of the Combat Sports Authority of New South Wales, said he recorded a judge's score incorrectly  and it should have been 10-8 instead of 10-9 and that the fight actually resulted in a majority draw via scores of 28-28, 29-29 and 29-28 for Johnson.

Check back for full breakdown and results from this event.
