Sources have confirmed to MMAWeekly.com that McCall and Johnson will meet for a second time at the Ultimate Fighter Live finale on June 1 in Las Vegas. The date for the bout was first reported by MMAInterviews.TV.

McCall and Johnson had a Fight of the Night during their bout at UFC on FX 2 just a few weeks back and initially Johnson was declared the winner.

Unfortunately due to an error committed by the athletic commission in Australia, the scores were incorrectly added and the fight should have been declared a draw.

Originally, the UFC had even included a fourth round provision for instances just like this so if the fight was a draw, the two fighters could battle in another round to declare the winner.

Because of the scoring error however, the fourth round never happened and now McCall and Johnson will do it all over again.

The fight will be featured on the Ultimate Fighter Live finale airing on FX on Friday, June 1 where the next champion from the show will also be crowned.

I wanted Johnson to win when they had originally fought in Australia, but after really seeing what McCall can do i think I'm going to be gunning for him to win. Winner advances to the finals of the flyweight tournament.
