UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson has a very important commitment in eight days, when he will defend his belt against challenger John Moraga. However, another big event diverted the athlete's focus a little: his son was born this Friday.

Johnson, nicknamed “Mighty Mouse” (named after the cartoon character Supermouse), is married to Destiny Johnson, who adopted the name “Mighty Wife” (something like super wife) on Twitter. Following the joke, the couple announced the arrival of “Mighty Baby”. No further details were revealed about the child's birth.

PUBLICITY:

Demetrious Johnson will face John Moraga at UFC On FOX 8, which will be held next Saturday, the 27th, in Seattle.
