Pulls upset of Dan Argueta
Johns defeated Dan Argueta via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27) at ESPN Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Full marks to Johns, who entered as a +140 underdog. Knowing full well he was going up an opponent in Argueta who likes to lean on his wrestling game, Miles stuffed 4-of-6 takedown attempts and matched Dan's two successful tries with two of his own. On the feet, Johns landed the harder, more damaging blows throughout the course of the fight. This one was close for about six or seven minutes before Miles began to pull away. The 29-year-old Kansas native has quietly won four of five dating back to October 2020.

Not fighting Barcelos
Johns will not fight Raoni Barcelos on Saturday, according to Aaron Bronsteter of TSN.ca.
ANALYSIS
Initially expected to fight Barcelos at UFC on ESPN 47, an undisclosed injury will prevent his availability Saturday. Because the withdrawal is happening a mere two days before the fight, it is scrapped altogether.
