- The king stayed the king at UFC 186. Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson easily dominated a game but overmatched Kyoji Horiguchi, recording the latest finish in UFC history by armbarring the challenger at 4:59 of the fifth and final round.
- After sitting out nearly a year with a knee injury, John Dodson is ready to climb back up the 125-pound ladder. With a victory over Zach Makovsky at UFC 187 in May, "The Magician" will likely earn a shot at champion Demetrious Johnson at some point in 2015.
- Joseph Benavidez, likely the finest flyweight on the planet not nicknamed "Mighty Mouse," faces a stern test against John Moraga when the two exchange fists at UFC 187.
