Report: Michael Johnson to face Benson Henderson in 'TUF 21' finale

Michael Johnson has been asking for a high-profile bout at lightweight, and it looks like he's getting his wish.

According to a report by MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani, Johnson will go toe-to-toe with former lightweight champion Benson Henderson at "The Ultimate Fighter 21" finale at some point in June.

Johnson is currently riding a four-fight winning streak, with his last victory coming against feared striker Edson Barboza at UFC Fight Night 61 in February.

One of the top 155-pounders on the planet, Henderson moved up to welterweight to face Brandon Thatch at UFC Fight Night 60. Despite being dwarfed by Thatch, Henderson showed off superior cardio and slick grappling, submitting "Ruckus" via rear-naked choke in the fourth round of their main-event bout.

"The Ultimate Fighter 21" premieres on April 22, and features the blood feud between rival camps The Blackzilians and American Top Team.
