5 longest winning streaks in UFC history

#4 Demetrious Johnson – 5 years and 6 months, 13 fights

Despite 13 wins in a row, Demetrious Johnson remains somewhat unappreciated

Reigning UFC Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson already holds one UFC record to his name – the most successful title defences in a row with a total of 11 – but he may well rise up this list if he continues to fight as well as he has been, totally outclassing his opponents for the most part every time he steps into the Octagon.

Some fans might criticise ‘Mighty Mouse’ for his strength of competition, mainly because Flyweight isn’t a glamour division like Middleweight or Heavyweight, but realistically, the fighters Johnson has been defeating aren’t weak at all – they’re simply not in the same league as the Mouse, who makes them look like amateurs in comparison. That’s not a knock on them – Johnson is simply that good.

With an upcoming Superfight against UFC Bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw looming, Johnson looks set to be faced with his biggest challenge yet. But if he can defeat Dillashaw – extending his run to 14 wins in a row – then surely even the casual fans would begin to recognise his greatness. As it is, he’s largely underappreciated, but it’s hard to argue his brilliance when you look at his phenomenal win streak.
