Former UFC flyweight champion and consensus Greatest Fighter of All Time, Demetrious Johnson found a unique way to spend his time during the pandemic.

Johnson made his UFC debut in 2011. He won the inaugural flyweight title in the following year. This was just the beginning of his great legacy. “Mighty Mouse” went on to destroy everybody in his tracks.  At UFC 216, he pulled off an incredible flying armbar on Ray Borg and broke Anderson Silva’s record for most title defenses.

Unfortunately for Johnson, he lost his next bout via a split decision to Henry Cejudo. Following his defeat, he took his skills to One Fighting Championship, where he won his first match in the second round via a guillotine choke. His next two victories came via unanimous decisions. As of now, Johnson has no fight scheduled for him.
