Demetrious Johnson proves himself a class above as he hands out meals to homeless people

Some 24 hours ahead of a fight against arguably his biggest challenger to date and Demetrious Johnson had nothing on his mind other than giving back to those less fortunate.

The reigning UFC flyweight champion puts his title on the line against the supremely talented Henry Cejudo on Saturday night but Johnson found some time in his hectic preparation schedule to help out some local homeless people in Las Vegas. After weighing in at 125 lbs on the nose, 'Mighty Mouse' and his wife wandered around the Vegas strip where they handed out meals. https://twitter.com/MightyWife/status/723708788742574081 It's truly heartwarming to see somebody of Johnson's status not forget about those in need even on the eve of one of the most important fights of his career.
