Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson Pulls Off A Finish So Insane, It’s Straight Out Of A Video Game

Mighty Mouse is the king of fighters.

Mixed martial arts is a truly crazy sport. Unlike boxing where we can determine that the outcome will result from who has the better hands, there are so many different variable to consider in MMA. A fighter is as likely to get knocked out by a hook as they are to be sent to the realm of the unconscious with a spinning hook kick. Submissions, wrestling, ground and pound or simply holding top position, all of these are likely methods to result in victory for a combatant. But it’s rare that you you can find an athlete that can combine all the aspects of mixed martial arts to absolute perfection. Or at least that was true until the emergence of UFC flyweight champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson.

This past weekend saw the current and only champion the UFC flyweight division has ever known break the record for consecutive title defensive taking his streak to eleven, past that of former middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva. Mighty Mouse has now set himself apart and denying that fact is almost ludicrous at this point.

In a career defined by near perfection inside the cage, Mighty Mouse put on his most dominant performance to date as he beat Ray Borg from pillar to post in their flyweight title match. Borg found success in spots, but was ultimately out struck by an embarrassing margin, out wrestled, out grappled, and eventually submitted by the champ. But that’s par for the course in a Mighty Mouse bout. When made this victory so memorable for the champion is the manner in which he was able to secure victory. Don’t take my word for it. Just take some time and watch the video below.

Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson is not a normal fighter by any means. He’s a true artist in every sense of the word. To execute the techniques he uses inside the cage takes countless hours of training, visualization, and supreme confidence. If he accomplishes nothing else in his MMA career, this victory will forever cement him as the greatest mixed martial artist to ever step inside a cage.

What do you think of Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson being the GOAT?
