Top contender Wilson Reis believes he will dethrone UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson

As it stands right now, Ultimate Fighitng Championship (UFC) Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson is the very best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.

That is not an overstatement by any stretch of the imagination. With endless abilities and an evolving finishing rate, Johnson has successfully racked off eight-straight title defenses within the 125-pound division. He has dismantled every single contender the promotion has thrown his way.

Considering how potent and seemingly untouchable as Johnson is, many were surprised that Brazilian mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Wilson Reis will get the next crack at the champion at UFC 201 on July 30.
