MMA Legend Demetrious Johnson Announces Retirement at 38
The Mighty One Signs Off After Illustrious Career
Demetrious Johnson, widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time, has announced his retirement from the sport at the age of 38. Known as "Mighty Mouse," Johnson held the UFC flyweight championship for a record-breaking six years and made 11 successful title defenses before losing the belt to Henry Cejudo in 2018.
A Dominant Force
Johnson's dominance in the flyweight division was unparalleled. His technical prowess and grappling skills made him a formidable opponent, and he rarely faced serious challenges during his reign as champion. Johnson's only losses in the UFC came against Cejudo and Dominick Cruz, both of whom are considered among the best fighters in their respective weight classes.
Johnson's retirement marks the end of an era in the UFC. He was one of the most popular and respected fighters in the promotion, and his departure will leave a void in the flyweight division. However, Johnson's legacy will live on as one of the greatest fighters to ever step into the Octagon.
