Reigning UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson continues to prove his worth as the sport’s current top pound-for-pound fighter. On Saturday night at UFC on Fox, he submitted Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Wilson Reis in the third round, equaling Anderson Silva’s record for ten consecutive title defenses.
Despite Johnson’s record-setting performance, he still cannot seem to get the respect he richly deserves. After the fight, it was later noted that the card’s overnight ratings dropped to an all-time low in UFC on FOX history.
From his end, “Mighty Mouse” seems unbothered by the ratings, while recognizing that the said event may have had very little promotional effort behind it.
