The UFC 201 card is set for another massive title fight this July as Demetrious Johnson set to defend 125lbs title against Wilson Reis.

The flyweight champion, who has just signed a new eight-fight contract with the UFC, is set for the co-main event in Atlanta as Robbie Lawler also puts his welterweight crown on the lie against Tyron Woodley.

According to a UFC Tonight report on last night the fight will go ahead despite Johnson having just come off the back of a title defense back in April when he beat Henry Cejudo.

He will also defend his title, should he remain champion, in December against the winner of The Ultimate Fighter series in Las Vegas.
