Demetrious Johnson refused to play Georges St. Pierre to Tim Elliott’s Matt Serra.
“Mighty Mouse” stayed calm in the face of early adversity to retain the Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight crown with a unanimous decision over Elliott in “The Ultimate Fighter 24” Finale main event on Saturday at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. Johnson was awarded 49-46, 49-46 and 49-45 marks from the judges, as he made his ninth consecutive successful title defense -- one shy of former middleweight boss Anderson Silva’s all-time UFC record.
