Demetrious Johnson Makes History at UFC “Fight Night Kansas City”
Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson made history at UFC “Fight Night Kansas City” by tying Anderson Silva’s record for the most consecutive title defenses in UFC history. Johnson, known for his calm and reserved demeanor, was more fired up than usual after his victory over Wilson Reis.
With this win, Johnson has now won 12 consecutive fights and has successfully defended his UFC flyweight title 10 times. He credits his success to his well-rounded skills, stating, “I finish all of my opponents. There’s not another champion who can mix it up, wrestle, strike and clinch like I do.”
Johnson dominated the fight, outstriking and softening up Reis before taking him down and securing a slick armbar submission. His quick transition from full-mount to submission showcased why he is considered the best pound-for-pound MMA fighter in the world today.
But Johnson is not content with just tying Silva’s record. He has his sights set on breaking it and setting a new standard in MMA. “I’m just like any champion, no matter if it’s team sports like the Michael Jordan Bulls or something like the UFC, you want to win as many championships as possible,” he said at the post-fight press conference.
Johnson’s ultimate goal is to retire with 15 title defenses, solidifying his place as the fastest man in mixed martial arts. And with his impressive skills and determination, it’s not hard to believe that he will achieve this feat.
