UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson will have the opportunity to tie the record for the most title defenses in UFC history come Saturday night.
Johnson will be competing against top-ranked flyweight Wilson Reis in the main event of UFC on FOX 24, which takes place at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. If Johnson were to defeat his underdog foe on Saturday night, “Mighty Mouse” will be tied with the legendary Anderson Silva for the most title defenses in UFC history. But for the flyweight fighter, it’s not about pulling alongside one of the greatest fighters to have competed in the sport, but about just setting the record alone.
