Demetrious Johnson Says Winning Grand Prix Belt is a Career Goal

Demetrious Johnson will be fighting for the One Championship flyweight grand prix title next time out when he takes on Danny Kingad on Oct. 13. For "Mighty Mouse" he is just one win away from not just becoming the grand prix champion but earning a title shot as well. To fight for the belt was not his focus initially but now winning it certainly is.

"I wouldn't say it was my main goal but it was a goal I had in my career. Just watching Pride and Dream and them having the grand prix, you fight through a bracket and you get a sweet ass belt," Johnson said to Sherdog.
