Demetrious Johnson might no longer compete in the UFC, but the former flyweight king is still considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world by his contemporaries.
Johnson, who defended his UFC flyweight title a record breaking eleven times, left the UFC to sign with ONE Championship in 2018 and has gone on to capture the promotion’s flyweight title.
Johnson’s lone title defeat in the UFC came to Henry ‘Triple C’ Cejudo, who beat ‘Mighty Mouse’ via split decision in the UFC 227 co-main event. Cejudo has since gone on to capture the UFC bantamweight title, becoming the promotion’s first ever simultaneous flyweight and bantamweight champion.
