Charles Johnson

Johnson's 85-strike performance vs Bruno Silva plus zero takedowns/control conceded in his last three fights

Johnson (19-9) showed real output in his most recent win, out-striking Bruno Silva with 85 significant strikes in March 2026, and both of his recent losses (to Asu Almabayev and Alex Perez) were logged as pure stand-up fights with zero takedowns and zero control time conceded, so nobody has grounded him lately. Chapolin (15-2) is on a three-fight win streak and his win over An Tuan Ho was grappling-led (5 takedowns, 6:09 control), so this is not a comfortable pick. The lean is on Johnson's striking volume and his demonstrated ability to avoid takedowns and control time in his recent bouts.
