Adam Antolin thinks his skills would test Demetrious Johnson — VIDEO

As a competitor in The Ultimate Fighter season 24 tournament, Adam “Captain Chaos” Antolin is vying for the chance to become the next man to lock horns with the reigning UFC flyweight champ, Demetrious Johnson.

Four years ago on Sept. 22, 2012, Johnson was crowned as the first - and so far, the only - UFC flyweight champion. Since then, he’s successfully defended the title 8 times and is closing in on the UFC record of ten title defenses held by Anderson Silva. Antolin, 34, believes he would triumph over Johnson because of his diverse skill set.

Antolin, the Tachi Palace Flyweight Champion, has already secured a spot in The Ultimate Fighter quarterfinals where he’ll face Japan’s Hiromasa Ogibuko.
