It still defies belief. The incomparable Demetrious Johnson executed one of the most memorable submissions in Ultimate Fighting Championship history when he tamed Ray Borg with a fifth-round armbar to retain his undisputed flyweight crown in their UFC 216 co-main event on Oct. 7, 2017 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Borg called it quits 3:15 into Round 5.
Johnson dominated virtually every second of the match with his potent blend of all-around brilliance, as he outstruck, outscrambled and outgrappled his game but overmatched challenger. “Mighty Mouse” transitioned from one superior position to the next, hunting the finish while battering Borg with elbows, punches and knees to the body.
