Demetrious Johnson, the current flyweight champion of ONE Championship, is uncertain about his return to fighting. He has been inactive for more than a year since his last victory against Adriano Moraes at ONE Fight Night 10. Despite some mentions of retirement after that fight, Johnson is not closing the door on the possibility of returning to MMA if the right opportunity arises.
In a recent YouTube video with Chael Sonnen, Johnson talked about his future in fighting, highlighting his focus on Brazilian jiu-jitsu. While he is still under contract with ONE Championship, Johnson mentioned that he is willing to step back into the MMA world if the right fight and offer present themselves. At the moment, he is satisfied with pursuing his passion for jiu-jitsu and competing on the mats.
Looking back on his successful MMA career with 15 world titles and 12 title defenses, Johnson is contemplating what more he can accomplish in the sport. With his current dedication to jiu-jitsu, Johnson suggested that his MMA journey might be nearing its end, possibly within this year.
As fans speculate about Johnson’s fighting future, the question arises: Should the reigning ONE Championship titleholder make a comeback to MMA, or is it time for him to explore other interests?
