Teammate says Demetrious Johnson is ‘still the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world’

Demetrious Johnson might no longer be featured in the UFC’s official pound-for-pound rankings, but that doesn’t mean the former flyweight champion isn’t still one of the best fighters in the world.

Prior to his upset loss against Henry Cejudo and shock switch to ONE FC, ‘Mighty Mouse’ was ranked as the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, having defended his flyweight title a record-breaking 11 times and amassing a thirteen-fight win streak in MMA’s premiere promotion.

Johnson will make his ONE Championship debut later this month against Yuya Wakamatsu, and teammate Bibiano Fernandes expects to see a return to form for the former flyweight king.
