JJB – Did you doubt the special status of Demetrious Johnson? The UFC legend takes on a 250-pound monster.
When we talk about the best athletes in UFC history, it’s impossible not to mention Demetrious Johnson. Unfortunately, DJ was competing in the flyweight category, a category shunned by the general American public. Moreover, the latter had almost disappeared before Henry Cejudo gave it a second wind. Still, with his 11 belt defenses, Mighty Mouse has entered the legend of the organization.
Now at ONE FC, Demetrious Johnson still shines in competition. This time, the UFC legend faces a 250-pound monster.
A colossal difference in size
During a jiu-jitsu tournament, Demetrious Johnson found himself facing an opponent measuring 1m93 and 113 kg, while he measures 1m60 and around 60 kg in competition. Despite this impressive gap, the determination and talent of the UFC legend allowed him to win hands down.
At the end of the competition, Demetrious Johnson won the gold medal in the flyweight category and silver in the overall category. An exceptional performance which once again underlines the superstar status of this extraordinary athlete. A true display of strength and skill that impressed MMA fans around the world.
