Demetrious Johnson shows love to wife Destiny for Mother’s Day
ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson isn't just one of the best MMA fighters of all time, but also the best father to his sons and husband to his wife. This is evident in the many things he does with his family as frequently posted on his social media account.
On Mother's Day last week, 'Might Mouse' paid tribute to 'Mighty Wife', his wife, Destiny Johnson. It was plain, simple, but undeniably heartfelt:
"Happy Mothers day @mightywife and to all the mothers out there ❤️ #mothersday"
Destiny is the perfect epitome of the saying, "behind every great man is a great woman." While Demetrious Johnson was busy making history and setting records no one can possibly beat, Destiny Johnson was making sure everything else in the background keeps running. 'Mighty Mouse' is as great as he is today because 'Mighty Wife' takes care of everything so he can continue pursuing greatness.
Being a mother to two amazing young men and husband to arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all time is no easy feat, to say the least. One can say that Destiny Johnson is as much of a warrior as Demetrious Johnson. Her and every single mother in the world.
If you want to see the fruits of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson's labor, check out 'Mighty Mouse's' trilogy bout with Adriano Moraes at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III on Prime Video. The bout was for Johnson's ONE flyweight world title and showcased why he is a cut above the rest of the pack.
With both fighters having a win over the other, the pivotal rubber match had legacy hanging in the balance. After the final bell, Demetrious Johnson had outfought and outclassed 'Mikinho' in all aspects of the game, seemingly having learned a lot from his previous two bouts with him.
With the ONE flyweight world title firmly on his shoulder, 'Mighty Mouse' has successfully cemented himself further in the greatest-of-all-time discussions. At this point, the American MMA icon has nothing left to prove in the sport. In his post-fight interview, he was asked if he is ready to retire.
Johnson unsurprisingly considered his wife in the decision-making process:
"I gotta talk to my wife first."
It's unclear at the moment where Demetrious Johnson's career is headed, but wherever he chooses to go, we're sure Destiny will be right beside him.
