TUF 12 runner-up Michael Johnson will return to the Octagon in June when he takes on Hawaiian native, Edward Faaloloto in a lightweight bout at UFC on Versus 4 in Pittsburgh. Johnson was a favorite to win the 12th season of TUF, but dropped a competitive decision to Jonathan Brookins at the finale. Faaoloto, a student of Chris Leben, made his Zuffa debut WEC 52 last November, but suffered a TKO loss to Anthony Njokuani.
