UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson recounts the conversation he had with UFC Vice President of Public Relations Dave Sholler regarding his public persona.
Demetrious Johnson is arguably one of the most dominant champions active in the UFC today. He has compiled an eight-fight win streak, which includes stoppage wins in four of his last five fights. He continues to trounce the flyweight division and eliminate all challengers placed in front of him, sometimes twice.
However, while he is undoubtedly an exciting fighter, Johnson has historically had trouble connecting with the MMA fanbase and that has affected his ability to sell PPVs.
