In a UFC championship reign that is soon to kiss the five-year mark, Demetrious Johnson has never looked so mighty as he did at last Saturday night’s UFC on FOX main event. Sure, he has beaten opponents in less time than he needed to stop Wilson Reis, but never before has he matched the totality of his performance.
It was, in a word, brilliant.
In almost 15 minutes of action, Reis was only able to land a total of 18 strikes out of 170 attempts against Johnson, according to FightMetric.
That kind of defensive shutdown is staggering.
