While one of the most highly anticipated lightweight championship bouts in UFC history is taking place at UFC 197, two top 155-pound contenders will square off on the same card in hopes of getting their own title shot some day.

No. 5 Tony Ferguson puts his seven-fight win streak on the line when he takes on No. 7 Michael Johnson on March 5 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Ferguson looks to avenge a unanimous-decision loss to at UFC on FOX 3 in May 2012.

Fighting out of Costa Mesa, Ferguson (21-3) is coming off an impressive second-round submission via D’Arce choke over Edson Barboza last month that was named Performance of the Night and Fight of the Night. The Ultimate Fighter Season 13 winner has finished five opponents during his 7-0 run.

Johnson (17-10) has lost his past two fights by decision, including a unanimous-decision defeat in the Fight of the Night against Nate Diaz last month. Johnson’s last victory was in February against Barboza via unanimous decision.

The main event at UFC 197 features Rafael dos Anjos putting his lightweight belt on the line against featherweight champion Conor McGregor.

The co-main event will see Holly Holm, fresh off her stunning head-kick knockout of Ronda Rousey in November, making her first bantamweight title defense against Miesha Tate.
