Demetrious Johnson is becoming harder and harder to overlook as one of the best fighters in MMA.
At UFC 178, Mighty Mouse submitted Chris Cariaso to successfully defend his 125-pound championship for the sixth consecutive time. That mark ties the championship reigns of UFC legends Tito Ortiz and Matt Hughes, so Johnson is clearly dominating the flyweight class.
He may not be as popular as Ortiz and Hughes, but Johnson will eventually get his due attention as long as he keeps winning. Was an expected win over Cariaso enough to boost him in the pound-for-pound rankings?
