Check out the latest update from ONE Championship founder Chatri Sityodtong about flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson.
After his decision win over Adriano Moraes, Johnson hinted at the possibility of retirement, but Sityodtong revealed they are pursuing another fight for him. “We have been trying to get DJ a mixed-rules fight between DJ and Mikey Musumeci the flyweight grappling world champion. I think that would be a spectacular fight, as well,” Sityodtong said.
Despite Johnson’s uncertainty about his fighting future, Sityodtong believes there are more challenges ahead for the legendary fighter. “If you just look at his skillset, he has by far the most complete skillset of any martial artist in the history of mankind,” Sityodtong continued. “For me, he’s the GOAT.”
While his return is uncertain, Johnson’s legacy as one of the greatest fighters of all time is secure with notable wins over Joseph Benavidez, Henry Cejudo, and more.
