Demetrious Johnson Slams Dana White for Being a 'Bully' in Damning UFC Statement
Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson has slammed the UFC and accused it's president Dana White of "bullying" and "despicable treatment."
Per MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani, the 30-year-old American, tied with Anderson Silva for the record of most consecutive title defenses in UFC history, has released a statement outlining how he has been treated by the MMA organization.
He references grievances with how little promotion he is given by the UFC.
"With me, the UFC chooses not to market the best fighter in the world and arguably the greatest fighter of all time," he wrote.
Johnson added he'd been forced now to speak out as his "values and character as a person and a fighter are being tarnished."
