Demetrious Johnson had just about done it all in his run with the UFC. So it didn’t make a lot of sense to him to try and do it all again.
A new set of challenges awaits the longtime flyweight king, who was recently announced as one half of a historic trade between the UFC and ONE Championship a little less than three months after losing the 125-pound title in a rematch with rival Henry Cejudo. Having been champion for six years and broken the record for most successful consecutive title defenses at 11, it seemed reasonable that Johnson would consider battling Cejudo a third time for the chance to regain his title.
