the american Demetrious Johnson He is the longest-serving UFC champion with his belt. He has already made nine defenses of his flyweight title, which earns him the nickname of the best fighter in the world – even if Dana White, president of Ultimate, disagrees and points out Conor McGregor on the top.
“You know what? Yes, I am the best fighter in the world. I think because of everything I showed in my last fight (against Tim Elliott). I showed my clinch game, I've already knocked out guys like Henry Cejudo e Joseph Benavidez. And they didn’t show me anything different”, commented Johnson in an interview with the program “The MMA Hour”.
At 30 years old, “Mighty Mouse” is just one title defense away from equaling Anderson Silva, the UFC champion who defended his title the most in history. The flyweight champion's next fight should be against Joseph Benavidez, who has already lost twice to Johnson.
