5 Things You Might Not Know About Demetrious Johnson

Demetrious Johnson can soon move into a class all by himself.

“Mighty Mouse” will put his Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight title on the line against Jackson-Wink MMA upstart Ray Borg in the UFC 215 main event this Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. A win over Borg would give Johnson his 11th consecutive successful title defense, passing Anderson Silva’s all-time record of 10 set between July 7, 2007 and July 7, 2012. The AMC Pankration cornerstone last appeared at UFC on Fox 24 in April, when he submitted longtime Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Wilson Reis with an armbar in the third round of their encounter in Kansas City, Missouri.
