• Division: Flyweight
• Days of title reign: 2142
• Successful title defenses: 11

Demetrious Johnson won the inaugural UFC flyweight championship back in September 2012 as he defeated Joseph Benavidez via split decision. ”Mighty Mouse” then defended the strap eleven times, with seven wins coming by stoppage, before losing the title to Henry Cejudo via split decision in 2018.

Sadly, Johnson was then traded to ONE Championship for former ONE Welterweight Champion Ben Askren, and is now the Singaporean combat sports promotion’s flyweight champion.
