Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson hasn’t lost very often during his illustrious MMA career, with a 30-4 record that includes his long reign as the UFC flyweight champion and ESPN’s Fighter of The Year in 2017.
But after falling to Adriano Moraes for the ONE flyweight championship earlier this year, many questioned whether or not Johnson could compete against the best of the best after he alluded to a potential move to kickboxing.
Johnson spoke with LowKickMMA in an exclusive interview to clear the air on his earlier comments that he may explore his options including some Kickboxing fights, and what’s next for his MMA career.
After many speculated on what might be next for 34-year-old Johnson following his previously hinted transition from MMA to Kickboxing. During his post-fight press conference at ONE on TNT 1, alluded to trying out a few kickboxing matches before his career ends.
“I think, at the end of the day, the reason that I came to ONE Championship is I have options,” Johnson said in a post-fight scrum. “I feel if I want to do a kickboxing match, I can do that. Obviously, yes, I can go back into mixed martial arts, work my way back up to a title shot.”
But Johnson has changed his tune on the matter in recent days and went as far as vehemently denying a move from MMA anytime soon after ONE Muay Thai champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon called him out just weeks ago for a kickboxing match.
“No, that’s not the plan right now,” Johnson said when asked by LowKickMMA about a possible switch to kickboxing. “That was something I said when I was in quarantine for 10 days in Singapore. Rodtang is one of the best Muay Thai fighters on the planet. When I say kickboxing, I think when I say stuff like that, people take it to the extreme.”
“I couldn’t care less about being a Kickboxing world champion. So right now I’m just focusing on my next mixed martial arts fight.”
Johnson also weighed in on the new UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno’s performance against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 263. He said he was “very impressed” with Moreno’s speed and combinations on the feet as well as his ground game that ended up finishing the fight.
After suffering the first knockout loss of his career, Johnson is ready to make his way back to the ONE Championship title discussion with a win over another top contender. While he isn’t ruling out an immediate rematch against Moraes, he’s focusing on what he can control and another title run late in his career.
“I’m planning on making my way back up to the belt right now, not an immediate rematch,” Johnson said. “I’m focusing on the path in front of me right now. That’s what I’m looking forward to.”

Demetrious Johnson made fun of Henry Cejudo during a recent interview with MMA Junkie.
Arguably the funniest UFC fighter to date, Henry Cejudo has certainly garnered a lot of attention with his various funny performances during interviews, staredowns and on social media; and he even went as far as calling out Valentina Shevchenko to an intergender fight (which would be a first for the UFC).
Johnson has taken notice of ‘Triple C’ – the nickname which Cejudo has chosen for himself.
“I see what ‘Triple C’ is doing,” Johnson said to MMA Junkie. “It’s funny. My buddy came over to my house, and he was like, ‘What the hell is this man doing?’ I was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ He told me that intergender whatever, and I just laughed. I think it’s hilarious, but I’m happy for him. At the end of the day, he’s doing what he wants to do, and he’s creating a lot of buzz for himself and the division.”
But then Johnson – current ONE Championship fighter – hinted that the UFC star might be doing all of this just for money.
“And hey, man, you can’t hate on him. He’s trying to make moves and get paid.”

TJ Dillashaw is currently sitting on the self for two years. The former UFC bantamweight champion was caught abusing performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) following his first-round TKO loss to Henry Cejudo in January.
Dillashaw has been very open about intentionally cheating ahead of the fight in order to make weight for the 125-pound contest, and is handling his suspension as well as anyone could. In the meantime, his peers continue to offer their opinions on the situation in the fallout.
Recently, former UFC flyweight champion, and current ONE Championship competitor Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson chimed in on the topic. Johnson and Dillashaw were at one point rumored for a massive super fight with one another, however, negotiations for the contest fell flat.
When Johnson was asked if he feels like he dodged a bullet, the former 125-pound king denied such a claim, and admits he was actually “thrown off” by the news (via MMA News):
“No, not at all,” Johnson said. “Obviously, it is what it is. He got caught using a banned substance, which I was totally thrown off by it, and it’s a shame. But at the end of the day, it’s mixed martial arts.
“He’ll serve his time, two to three years of USADA. He’ll come back, compete, make money, and life will go on as usual.”
Even if Johnson had fought Dillashaw while he was on a banned substance, this wouldn’t have been the first time the former pound-for-pound king dealt with such an obstacle:
“That’s not the first time. I fought Ali Bagautinov, and he tested positive for EPO,” Johnson said. “So I’ve already been in that boat before. And when I found out about it, I was playing video games. And I said, ‘Ariel Helwani, I’m busy right now. This is not important.’”
