Former UFC flyweight champion turned ONE FC contender Demetrious Johnson was once considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world but, despite his record-breaking reign as champ (11 consecutive title defenses), ‘Mighty Mouse’ was never held in the same high regard as former — and current — greats such as Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones.
Top-three UFC bantamweight contender Aljamain Sterling isn’t sure why that’s the case but, now that Johnson is no longer in the UFC, the Serra-Longo product has come to realize just how dominant ‘DJ’ was up until his title loss to Henry ‘Triple C’ Cejudo at UFC 227.
