Dana White and the UFC may have undersold the remarkable accomplishments of Demetrious Johnson but the fans thankfully appreciate Might Mouse's mighty deeds over the years. The inaugural UFC Flyweight Champion was so dominant as champion that there came a point where he had no credible contenders left as he had cleaned out the entire division.

The pound-for-pound great was one of the polished fighters ever but the lack of numbers proved to be the biggest reason behind his fallout with the UFC. He put on a show every time and is only one of the two fighters to have bonuses in all categories which include, Fight of the Night, Performance of the Night, Knockout of the Night and Submission of the Night.

It's a shame that for whatever reason, Johnson wasn't marketed well enough in order to draw in huge numbers. He would have still been a part of the UFC had the business side of things been taken care of. Nonetheless, he will surely get the deserved recognition at ONE FC with his debut slated to happen on March 31st, 2019 against Yuya Wakamatsu.
