#1 Demetrious Johnson - 5 Submissions:

UFC Fight Night: Johnson v Reis
UFC Fight Night: Johnson v Reis

Demetrious Johnson is one of the most dominant fighters in the UFC to this date, and his record of having held the UFC Flyweight Champion for 12 bouts in a row is proof of just that. He is the only person to have held the championship other than Cejudo as he won it when the title was inaugurated.

Johnson recently lost the title to Cejudo, however, having the title for as long as he did it is natural that he has 5 submission wins in Championship bouts. The wins were against Ray Borg, Wilson Reis, Kyoji Horiguchi, Chris Cariaso, and John Moraga with 4 armbars and one kimura.
