Demetrious Johnson cleared of medical condition he battled for months

Demetrious Johnson has been cleared of the serious condition he has been battling since April.

The former UFC flyweight champion and current ONE Championship contender no longer has small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), he announced Tuesday in an Instagram video.

“I’m super excited,” Johnson said. “I was almost in shock when [the doctor] said, ‘It’s all gone. You got no more SIBO.’ I was like, ‘What? Are you sure?’”

Johnson was diagnosed with SIBO, a condition that affects the small intestine, less than a month after his successful ONE debut in March, he told Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show earlier this month.
