The Mexicutioner Welcomes Lavar Johnson to the UFC
Over the past couple months, many of Strikeforce’s fighters have crossed over and competed in the UFC Octagon. At tonight’s UFC on FOX 2, “Big” Lavar Johnson (15-5) will become the next Strikeforce fighter to cross over into the UFC. Waiting for him across the cage will be Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (13-6), who has been on a rough patch lately having gone 1-3 in his last four fights. Johnson, too, has hit a rough patch of his own in losing back-to-back fights, both by way of submission. Fortunately for Johnson, Beltran only has one victory by way of submission so he shouldn’t have to worry about being submitted this time around.
