If anyone knows about being a UFC flyweight champion, it’s Demetrious Johnson. After all, for nearly six years, he was the promotion’s only 125-pound title holder.
Johnson was part of a historic trade in October 2018 that sent him to ONE Championship for Ben Askren after losing the title to Henry Cejudo via split decision at UFC 228. Since then, “Mighty Mouse” has had three wins for his new promotion and captured ONE’s flyweight grand prix world title.
Although his 2020 was shut down by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Johnson has had his finger on the pulse of the sport, and his former promotion and division.
