5 Longest UFC title reigns of all time

#2 Demetrius Johnson - Flyweight Championship (2142 days)

Demetrius Johnson - The man to beat in the Flyweight division

Regarded as one of the finest MMA fighters of all time, Demetrius Johnson lives up to that billing every single time he steps into the Octagon.

The 32-year-old American was the first UFC Flyweight Champion in the company's history when he won a tournament, last defeating Joseph Benavidez in the final.

Johnson then reigned atop his division for over six years as he cut through all the competition that UFC offered up to him, beating the likes of John Dodson (twice), Chris Cariaso and Ray Borg.

In the process, Johnson broke the record for most consecutive title defences in any weight class in UFC with 11 before he finally relinquished the belt to Olympic Gold Medallist, Henry Cejudo via a close, split decision.

Johnson will be back and it would be a brave person to bet against him reclaiming the Featherweight Championship.
