Since the advent of the flyweight division, Demetrious Johnson hasn’t had much time for summer vacations.
Four years and change after the UFC introduced the 125-pound weight class, the one and only man to wear the division’s championship belt has either spent the summer months preparing to compete or actually stepping into the Octagon and in some cases, he’s done both.
He won the title in September 2012 after beating Ian McCall in June to advance to the inaugural championship bout opposite Joseph Benavidez in Toronto and made the same quick turnaround two years later, defeating Ali Bagautinov at UFC 174 in Vancouver in June before stepping in and stopping Chris Cariaso three months later in Las Vegas.
