After a legendary 2,142-day run as champion, which saw Johnson set a new UFC record for consecutive title defenses with 11, “Mighty Mouse” suffered a stunning split decision loss to Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo in Los Angeles at UFC 227. But if the end to his historic title reign wasn’t difficult enough, Johnson also left the Staples Center on Saturday night with a pair of potential health issues that could sideline him for the foreseeable future.
“I think I probably tore my right LCL and then my right foot might be broken,” Johnson revealed Saturday at UFC 227’s post-fight press conference.
