Five men -- John Dodson, John Moraga, Joseph Benavidez, Ali Bagautinov and Chris Cariaso -- have tried and failed to remove Demetrious Johnson from atop the Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight division. Kyoji Horiguchi will now take his turn.

Johnson tipped the scales at 124.5 pounds, as he prepares to defend his flyweight crown against the once-beaten Horiguchi (124.5) in the UFC 186 main event on Saturday at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Catchweight co-headliners Quinton Jackson (216) and Fabio Maldonado (215) also met their contracted weight requirements without issue at Friday’s official weigh-in.
