As Demetrious Johnson targets one UFC record, watch when he set one that can’t be broken
Filed under: News, UFC, Videos
At next month’s UFC 215 event, flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson will look to set a record for most consecutive title defenses in promotional history.
Some thought Anderson Silva’s company record of 10 such wins was nearly unbreakable, but now “Mighty Mouse” stands on the cusp of history. Of course, Johnson already owns a record that will never be broken – the latest submission in a championship fight.
In April 2015, Johnson squared off with Japanese challenger Kyoji Horiguchi, who was just 24 years old at the time but took “Mighty Mouse” the distance – almost. With just one second left in the fifth round, Johnson ripped off an armbar to secure a submission win, not to mention a record that may someday be equaled but will never be beaten.
On Sept. 9, Johnson (26-2-1 MMA, 14-1-1 UFC) faces Ray Borg (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in the pay-per-view headliner of UFC 215, which takes place at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Ahead of that contest, check out Johnson’s other record-setting performance in the video above.
