Well, Johnson waxed off former Olympic wrestling gold medalist Henry Cejudo in 169 seconds Saturday at UFC 197. The win marked Johnson’s eighth straight title defense.
Further silencing his haters, Cejuda was the fifth victim Johnson has finished off before the final horn in his past seven outings. Find another UFC champion with that kind of finishing record.
For what it’s worth, Johnson is probably MMA’s pound-for-pound king.
Johnson has pretty much lapped the flyweight field at this point, but he’s not quite ready to bounce back to bantamweight just yet. “Mighty Mouse” first wants to overtake Anderson Silva for the most consecutive UFC title defenses at 10.
