Demetrious Khrisna Johnson (born August 13, 1986) is an American former professional mixed martial artist. He competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship(UFC), where he is the former flyweight champion of the world and had 11 title defenses and most recently with ONE Championship, where he was the former ONE Flyweight Champion (135 lb). He was the inaugural and former UFC Flyweight Champion (125 lbs).[4] Known for his quick striking and elusive movement, Johnson co-holds the record for the latest finish in UFC history with a submission win at 4:59 of the fifth round against Kyoji Horiguchi. Johnson also holds the record for most finishes in UFC flyweight history with 7.[5] Johnson is widely regarded as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.[6][7][8][9]
ESPN, MMA Weekly, and various UFC personnel have called Johnson one of the greatest mixed martial artists in the world.[10][11][12] Johnson has been referred to by many as, ‘the greatest Flyweight (125 pound) Mixed Martial Arts fighter of all time.’[13][14] With a record of 25 wins and 4 losses in professional MMA, or 35 wins and 4 losses including amateur and special rule bouts, Johnson is undefeated at 125 pounds aside from one controversial split-decision loss against Henry Cejudo, an opponent he knocked out in a separate bout.
