In the clip, 'The Mighty Mouse' gave massive praise to the world's largest martial arts organization because he was given a lot of opportunities to compete with world-class athletes and showcase his talent on the global stage.
Fans returned the favor to the American icon, as users @junta_aint_know, @waterstyleadrian, @abdoughul, @jesuss.javier, and @jjhwlv gave him his well-deserved recognition, by commenting positive messages about him:
"Mighty mouse will always be my goat"
"Mighty is a class act in and outside the mats. He has a beautiful family. He is always learning and humble. He's never referring to himself as the goat. He seems very cool to train with, never used enhancing drugs. He did exciting things for the fans. If I had kids, I would tell'em about his inspiring career 😃"
"Fight against, Rodtang, double fights against Moraes, DJ and ONE is a successful relationship ❤️🔥"
"Glad to see the goat getting his more than deserved flowers ❤️"
"@onechampionship getting some well deserved love from their fighters too. This guys is 🐐 and a class act."
Demetrious Johnson retired from the sport with a legendary resume
In September this year, Johnson officially announced his retirement from professional MMA competition during a special appearance on the ONE 168: Denver card in front of the packed Ball Arena crowd in Colorado.
It was the perfect ending to his illustrious MMA career, as he won six of his seven fights under ONE Championship and left the sport as the undisputed king of the flyweight MMA division.
