#2. Demetrious Johson vs. Joseph Benavidez II - UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Benavidez II
Just over a year after winning the inaugural flyweight belt, Demetrious Johnson single-handedly legitimized the division with one punch.
At the time, the UFC's 125-pound weight class was in its infancy and not a lot of people saw its potential yet. Fans seemed to think that the lower weight classes didn't have the finishing power compared to heavier weight divisions.

Against the man he won the title from a year prior, Johnson silenced his critics by separating Joseph 'Joe-Jitsu' Benavidez from his senses.
Their first fight went to a close split decision and betting odds were split down the middle. Benavidez had never been stopped before and was coming off a dominant three-fight winning streak after losing his title fight against Johnson. The KO punch shook the foundations of the MMA world.
Staying on top is one thing, but single-handedly putting a division on the map is a different level of greatness altogether. That's why this win deserves a spot on our list.
#1. Demetrious Johnson vs. Ray Borg - UFC 216
What more can be said about this one? Demetrious Johnson's historic record-setting win over Ray Borg was peak MMA greatness.
After tying the record for most consecutive UFC title defenses at 10, 'Mighty Mouse' broke said record in the most awe-inspiring way. The birth of the "Mighty Wiz-bar" showed how Demetrious Johnson is so much better than everybody that he invents moves on the fly.
As per the usual Demetrious Johnson fight, it was utter domination from round one to five. After seemingly getting bored of beating the living hell out of Borg, Johnson did something that can only be seen in movies.
The 12-time defending champion picked up his challenger in a back suplex and transitioned the hold to an armbar mid-air. Read that again. He changed a suplex to an armbar mid-way. That's just nuts and that's why it's at the top of our list.
