SYDNEY – For the man many have long called the uncrowned champion of the
UFC’s newly minted flyweight division, it may be somewhat ironic that
Demetrious Johnson has never actually fought at 125
pounds in his professional career.
No matter, says “Mighty Mouse.” His 5-foot-3 frame is handling the drop from 135 pounds just fine.
Now, at this weekend’s UFC on FX 2 event in Sydney, Johnson draws the
man who currently does hold the title of No. 1 at 125 pounds, Ian McCall. No
disrespect intended, Johnson says, but it’s time to put that claim to
the test.
