Demetrious Johnson shares his two favorite forms of martial arts
Demetrious Johnson recently revealed his favorite martial arts disciplines.
Ahead of his highly-anticipated fight at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video, ‘Mighty Mouse’ participated in an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit. Fans were allowed to ask the reigning ONE Championship flyweight world champion questions and get a quick response. One of the many questions was about Johnson’s preferred martial arts discipline:
“Of all the martial arts that you mix, do you have one that stands out as a favorite to do? Wrestling, bjj, Muay Thai etc etc.”
‘Mighty Mouse’ responded by saying:
“wrestling/bjj is S-tier in my book”
Demetrious Johnson has done a phenomenal job of mixing in striking and grappling, leading to five KO/TKOs, eight submissions, and eleven decision wins. After dominating the UFC flyweight division, ‘Mighty Mouse’ was traded to ONE Championship, where he’s found success by becoming the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix Champion and the reigning ONE Championship flyweight world champion.
The American flyweight legend has only lost one fight since joining ONE in 2019. In April 2021, Adriano Moraes became the first fighter to knock out ‘Mighty Mouse.’ Nearly seventeen months later, Johnson avenged the loss with a highlight-reel flying knee to become the ONE flyweight world champion.
