Johnson claims he’s proficient in the Scottish twister.
Johnson (20-9) was originally scheduled to fight Jose Ochoa
in an
Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight tilt. However, Ochoa
withdrew after the tragic death of his
Chute Boxe teammate, Allan
Nascimento .
Dana White’s Contender Series graduate Eduardo
Henrique stepped up on three days’ notice to replace Ochoa
against Johnson, who earned a bonus for a sensational and rare
submission. Charles Johnson routinely practices the Scottish twister that
finished Eduardo Henrique
While Henrique was efficient on the feet, Johnson wore him out with
a well-rounded approach. As Henrique was trying to reverse a
takedown, “InnerG” caught him in a Scottish twister to force the
tap in the third round. Johnson’s Scottish twister was the second
ever in UFC history, following Murtazali
Magomedov ’s win over Melsik
Baghdasaryan this past June.
Johnson claims he regularly trains the move in practice and
successfully lands it at least once a week. The flyweight veteran
also revealed that he learned the move from former Bellator
MMA bantamweight champion Patrick
“Patchy” Mix .
“I hit that at least once or twice a week on people in practice, so
it’s just about getting there,” Johnson said at the post-fight
press conference. “Patchy Mix actually showed me that move, so I’m
going to give him his flowers, man. He showed it to me about a year
and a half ago.”
Johnson has struggled for consistency in his last six outings, but
has remained active, already recording four fights this year. 😯🌪️ Charles
Johnson says he hits the Scottish Twister submission on people
‘once or twice a week’ in practice, and Patchy Mix showed it to
him
