At the moment, it doesn’t appear as though any more challenges exist for Demetrious Johnson in the flyweight division.
After steamrolling Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo in less than three minutes in the UFC 197 co-headliner on Saturday night, the champion has defeated virtually everyone of note in the flyweight top 10. As far as “Mighty Mouse” is concerned, all paychecks are created equal, and that alone is enough for him to continue living up to the lofty standard he has set.
“When I truly say this is how I pay my bills, I take that very seriously,” Johnson said at the post-fight press conference.
