In UFC 216's co-main event, 'Mighty Mouse' broke Anderson Silva's record for consecutive title defences by racking up his 11th on the trot. His fifth-round submission of Borg solidified his position as the most dominant champion the promotion has ever seen and he did it in sensational style.
He dominated his opponent everywhere, outlanding him by 172 strikes to 22 and scoring eight takedowns to the TazMExican Devil's three. DJ saved his best moment for the very end too, getting the armbar submission after a suplex. He began the transition mid-air and locked it in before he hit the ground. https://twitter.com/Jonnyboy_6969/status/916877574088941568 As if there was any doubt before, this win definitively proved that Johnson is the pound-for-pound king. Regardless of the level of competition he has faced comparatively to other champions, there's no denying that what he does inside the Octagon is unlike anything we've seen from anyone else. Fans will criticise him for not taking superfights, they might even call his utter domination boring, but on this night, everyone around the world appreciated his genius. Everyone who tuned in knew they had just witnessed something very special. https://twitter.com/BrendanSchaub/status/916877425241341952 https://twitter.com/BlessedMMA/status/916876557725057024 https://twitter.com/danhardymma/status/916876547147161601 https://twitter.com/Unclecreepymma/status/916877698265468929 https://twitter.com/kennyflorian/status/916877118348312577 https://twitter.com/MeganA_mma/status/916876748712763397Explore more on these topics:
