Johnson wants to add more medals and podium finishes to his growing BJJ accolades, as he previously bagged gold medals during the 2023 World Masters IBJFF Jiu-Jitsu Championships and the 2024 IBJFF Pan American Championships, both in the Masters 2 featherweight brown belt division.

These two gold medal runs were also the main catalyst for him to earn the coveted black belt in the gentle art.

Aside from the continued pursuit of BJJ greatness, Johnson is still on a mission to share his combat sports expertise and knowledge with everyone through his YouTube channel 'MIGHTYCast,' where he breaks down massive combat sports fights in MMA and boxing.

His two most recent were the heavyweight unification bout between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk in May and the incredible knockout victory of Gervonta Davis over Frank Martin last month to retain his WBA World Lightweight belt.
