Former UFC flyweight kingpin, Demetrious Johnson has heaped praise on the promotion’s former undisputed lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, admitting that while he selfishly wished the Dagestani had competed more, he still leaves behind an “amazing” legacy.
Johnson, who holds the record for most consecutive successful title defenses in the history of the UFC, managed to land an impressive rear-naked choke win over kickboxing star, Rodtang Jitmuangon under the ONE Championship banner back in March, in his most recent combat sports outing.
The Kentucky technician has also landed himself an upcoming flyweight title rematch against Brazilian berserker, Adriano Moraes at ONE 161, attempting to avenge a shocking second round knee KO loss to the champion back in April of last year.
Khabib, a former undisputed lightweight champion, retired from professional mixed martial arts back in October 2020 following a successful title unification win against former interim gold holder, Justin Gaethje on ‘Fight Island’ – calling time on his career boasting a perfect, 29-0 professional record.
The American Kickboxing Academy staple was officially inducted into the promotion’s Hall of Fame during International Fight Week earlier this month – to mass affection and plaudits.
Another to shower the sambo specialist in praise comes in the form of Johnson, who described Khabib’s legacy as “amazing”.
“His (Khabib Nurmagomedov) career, his legacy is amazing,” Demetrious Johnson told Helen Yee during a recent interview. “I mean 29–0, undefeated. The thing that makes me sad is that I wish I would have seen him fight more. He had a lot injuries in the beginning of his career, in the middle of his career in the UFC.”
“But (he had) an amazing career,” Demetrious Johnson explained. “He’s made a lot of money and for him, it’s like, ‘Why do I need to fight? I don’t really need to fight, I’m happy.’” (Transcribed by Bloody Elbow)

The first event of ONE Championship’s deal with Amazon Prime Video is set to be headlined by a blockbuster rematch between Adriano Moraes and Demetrious Johnson.
Earlier this year, Asia’s biggest martial arts organization announced a multi-year agreement for the exclusive coverage of its events in the United States and Canada, with streaming giant Amazon Prime Video acquiring the rights.
And what better way to start the partnership than with a crucial contest featuring one of not only America’s best mixed martial artists, but one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.
In the main event of ONE 161, set for the Singapore Indoor Stadium on August 26, “Mighty Mouse” Johnson (30-4-1) will have the chance to avenge the one and only knockout loss of his career to date. The defeat came at the hands of ONE Flyweight Champion Moraes, who has held the 135-pound gold on three separate occasions.
After exiting the UFC for ONE following a narrow loss to Henry Cejudo in 2018, Johnson won his opening three fights in the Circle, which came as part of the flyweight Grand Prix. Having earned the silver belt with victory over the Philippines’ Danny Kingad in the final, the MMA great set up a showdown with Moraes (20-3) at ONE on TNT 1.
In one of the most memorable moments of 2021, Moraes added a fourth defeat to Johnson’s record, and the first to have not required the scorecards. He did so by knocking the Kentucky native out with a grounded knee, which is legal in ONE but not under the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts, which is adopted by the UFC.
Since the April 2021 contest, the pair have competed once each, both at ONE Championship’s 10-year anniversary event earlier this year. While the Brazilian champion defended his gold against Yuya Wakamatsu, “Mighty Mouse” secured victory over elite Muay Thai practitioner Rodtang Jitmuangnon in a unique mixed-rules contest.
On Friday, following an initial report from Ariel Helwani, the promotion confirmed that the pair’s next steps will see their paths cross again, in what Chatri Sityodtong and ONE hope will be a rematch big enough to attract a healthy audience for the opening event of the Amazon partnership.
While the event is set for Singapore, it’s expect to be be broadcast live in US primetime, similar to the Asia-held UFC 275 next weekend.
Who do you think will have their hand raised in the ONE 161 main event, Adriano Moraes or Demetrious Johnson?

The KO stoppage came as the first time Johnson had been finished in professional mixed martial arts.
For Moraes, the Brasilia standout managed to further cement his dominance at flyweight following his knockout win over Johnson, submitting common-foe, Yuya Wakamatsu with a third round guillotine win at ONE X in March of this year. Moraes currently boasts a 20-3 professional record.
Ariel Helwani was first to report the news of Johnson’s title rematch against Moraes on his official Substack page, noting how the pairing is expected to be officially confirmed by the promotion at their upcoming ONE Championship 158 event. The August event will come as ONE Championship’s first on Amazon Prime Video.
Before his loss to Moraes, Demetrious Johnson, who holds the most consecutive successful title defenses in the history of the UFC with a whopping 11 straight title knockbacks, had enjoyed a run of three consecutive wins since his move to the Chatri Sityodtong-led banner.
Debuting with a guillotine win of his own against the aforenoted, Wakamatsu – Johnson would then land a pair of unanimous decision successes against both Tatsumitsu Wada, and then Danny Kingad – the most recent of which landed him the ONE Championship Flyweight Grand Prix spoils.
A three-time ONE Championship flyweight champion, Moraes holds 10 separate submission wins to go with a further four knockout wins. Amongst his winning résumé – the 33-year-old has defeated Kairat Akhmetov, common-foe, Danny Kingad, and avenged a split decision loss to Geje Eustaquio.

Rodtang Jitmuangnon puts on yet another clinical display of violence as he booked his place in the semi-finals of the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix. The ONE flyweight Muay Thai champion dominated Jacob Smith over three rounds, leaving the Englishman bloodied and battered by the end of the bout.
The first two minutes of the fight were relatively competitive, but Rodtang soon began to employ a series of hellacious elbow strikes, cutting Smith open. The second and third rounds were more of the same, as he continued to use his elbows to lethal effect, mixing in a spearing rear straight and debilitating leg kicks.
Credit to Smith for making it to the final bell, but it was not a hard decision for the judges, as Rodtang’s hand was raised, and he progressed into the semi-finals. He was also granted a 50k bonus for his efforts.
Rodtang is on a RAMPAGE!
