5 best Demetrious Johnson finishes in the UFC

#4. Demetrious Johnson vs. Kyoji Horiguchi

UFC 186 went down at the Bell Center in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and was headlined by a flyweight championship showdown between Demetrious Johnson and Kyoji Horiguchi.

Horiguchi earned his shot at the title after putting together a four-fight win streak comprising two TKO finishes. He was looking to become the first-ever Japanese UFC champion, while Johnson was eyeing a sixth defense of his flyweight belt going into the bout.

Johnson and Horiguchi duked it out for nearly 25 minutes straight, with the champion dominating most of the exchanges on the feet and the mat. He looked set to bag a unanimous decision victory and a sixth title defense as the clock wound down in the final round of the bout.

In the last 10 seconds, Johnson secured the crucifix position and landed heavy blows on the challenger. With just one second left on the clock, the American champion snatched Horiguchi's arm, forcing his Japanese counterpart to tap.

#5. Demetrious Johnson vs. Ray Borg

Demetrious Johnson's most impressive performance in the octagon came in his final win in the UFC. With 10 title defenses under his name already, Johnson was level with former middleweight champion Anderson Silva and was looking to become the most dominant champion in the history of the promotion with one more victory.

He took on Ray Borg in the co-main event of UFC 216, which went down at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

While Borg put on a hearty display, he was thoroughly dominated by Johnson on the mat. 'Mighty Mouse' outwrestled the challenger for four rounds and was seemingly ahead on the scorecards going into the fifth.

Borg enjoyed moments of success in the first few minutes of the final round. Three minutes in, Johnson took his back and proceeded to suplex him. Incredibly, halfway through the suplex, the flyweight king secured an armbar mid-air, forcing his opponent to tap.

The stunning submission win over Ray Borg marked Demetrious Johnson's 11th title defense. Johnson's UFC record for title defenses stands to this day and remains unlikely to be beaten anytime soon.
