On Saturday night at UFC 216, Demetrious Johnson not only set a record for consecutive title defenses at 11, he also pulled off what could be one of the most extraordinary finishes in the UFC. With two minutes left in the fifth round, “Mighty Mouse” suplexed Ray Borg, then extended Borg’s left arm mid-air before locking in and finishing the submission as he landed on the mat.
But for Johnson, it was just a matter of time before he would finally be able to use this weapon he claims he has in his arsenal all along.
