Welcome to Midnight Mania! Known for his legendary career in MMA, Demetrious Johnson has announced his retirement at One 168. Johnson made a name for himself by challenging Dominick Cruz for the UFC Bantamweight title and later dominating the Flyweight division with 11 successful title defenses. Despite his exceptional skills, Johnson wasn’t a high-profile pay-per-view attraction.
Following a controversial loss to Henry Cejudo, Johnson moved to One Championship where he continued his winning streak, capturing the Flyweight belt and triumphing over Adriano Moraes in a trilogy. He bid farewell to the sport holding the title at the age of 38.
In a heartfelt retirement speech, Johnson expressed gratitude to his team and fans. The burning question lingers – is “Mighty Mouse” the undisputed Greatest of All Time (GOAT)?
In other developments, concerns arose over Dylan Budka’s weight issue, while Jake Paul accused the UFC of attempting to retain Conor McGregor under contract. Josh Emmett’s training session highlighted his exceptional talent, and the fighting community buzzed with remarkable combat footage.
The future of martial arts remains uncertain, and only time will uncover what lies ahead. Rest well, Maniacs! Anticipate more thrilling madness in the days to come.
