How close was Demetrious Johnson and John Dodson’s first title fight?
It’s been described as the greatest flyweight title fight of all-time, but just how close was Demetrious Johnson’s first encounter with John Dodson? Not as close as you’d think once we consider how judges score fights.
Do you remember January 2013? As an L.A. boy, I remember it being one of the colder "winters" we'd had in a while. Some nights it was so cold I couldn't walk the dog in my usual basketball shorts and flip flops. But mixed in-between, there was a special night where cold, warm, shorts, pants didn't matter, when we got to witness a fellow named Mighty Mouse on free TV starting one of the great title defense runs in UFC history.
