Demetrious Johnson (9)
Sadly, UFC flyweight master Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson may be the most undervalued champion in promotional history.
Despite a hodgepodge of contenders that have turned to stone when confronted with Johnson’s devilish speed, the pound-for-pound stud has done his best to turn water into wine.
With easily the best footwork, head work, in-and-out fluidity and striking-to-wrestling transitions in all of MMA, Johnson’s inability to capture massive pay-per-view audiences is a true head scratcher. His four finishes, including the latest stoppage in UFC title fight history at 4:59 of the fifth round, have spanned the course of seven dominating championship defenses that should be enough to throttle the needle.
At the perfect age of 29, the fastest man to touch canvas still has enough time to eventually become a bona fide superstar.
