Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson, a true MMA icon, has officially been inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. The announcement was made during UFC Seattle on Saturday, with Johnson and his family in attendance at Climate Pledge Arena, receiving a standing ovation. Johnson's illustrious UFC career saw him become the inaugural 125-pound champion.
His dominance in the flyweight division was unprecedented, marked by a record 11 consecutive title defenses. This remarkable run as champion lasted until 2018 when he lost a narrow split-decision to Henry Cejudo, which was his final bout in the UFC and his only career loss at 125 pounds.
After his UFC tenure, Johnson competed under the ONE Championship banner before retiring from professional MMA in 2024. He concluded his career with a 25-4-1 overall record, including a 15-2-1 record in the UFC. Johnson still holds the UFC records for the longest reign as flyweight champion, spanning 2,142 days, and the most title fight wins in the division's history with 12.
