The superlatives in relation to Demetrious Johnson have long since been exhausted.
“Mighty Mouse” retained the Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight title by submitting Ray Borg with a spectacular fifth-round armbar in the UFC 216 co-main event on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. Victimized in one of the great finishes in UFC history and the clear frontrunner for “Submission of the Year,” Borg yielded to the record-setting champion 3:05 into Round 5.
In what may have been his most dominant performance to date, Johnson stuffed the stat sheet at the expense of his young challenger.
