Demetrious Johnson says he wants to be remembered as an ever-evolving fighter amid his ridiculous world title reigns

Former ONE Championship and UFC flyweight champion 'Mighty Mouse' Demetrious Johnson's legendary mixed martial arts career may have concluded, but the 38-year-old icon still looks back fondly on his experiences in the cage.

Johnson is considered by many to be the greatest MMA fighter of all time or at the very least, a permanent fixture in that debate. But 'Mighty Mouse's world title reigns in ONE and the UFC certainly speaks for itself.

In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Johnson told fans why he stands out from the pack.

The AMC Pankration product said:

"Because it’s very rare that you see someone getting the belt, becoming a world champion, and then going out there and defending their belt time and time and time again and showing new skills as they’re growing as the champion."

Johnson has had a legendary career that spans almost two decades competing at the sport's highest level. Last year, the 38-year-old Seattle, Washington resident rode off into the sunset and officially retired from professional MMA competition.

Demetrious Johnson ready to focus on family life outside of fighting: "That sounds way more enjoyable"

Those hoping for an epic comeback by 'Mighty Mouse' Demetrious Johnson may end up being greatly disappointed.

According to the American legend, fighting is the furthest from his mind, and he would rather focus on being a father and work on his YouTube channel than go back into the cage.

'Mighty Mouse' told MMA Fighting:

"I’d rather sit here in my office, in my beautiful home with my beautiful children, be able to go to their football games, be able to take time to his jiu-jitsu tournaments and his jiu-jitsu classes, be at my daughter’s gymnastics and keep on doing the Mighty Cast and looking for guests and start building my studio for the road. I mean, that sounds way more enjoyable than fighting. I’ve done that for fuckin 20 years."
