Demetrious Johnson in Radical Statement: UFC Career Marked By ‘Unfulfilled Promises and Bullying’

Demetrious Johnson has had enough.

It has been a running narrative in Johnson's career that the first-ever Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight titlist, despite his accomplishments and laurels, is neither a ticket seller nor a pay-per-view draw for the promotion. More recently, discussion of Johnson has centered on whether or not the 10-time defending UFC champ will go for his record-setting 11th straight defense against divisional challenger Ray Borg or former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw later this year. Now, “Mighty Mouse” is speaking out on his next fight, his promoter and the structural mistreatment of fighters by the UFC.
