Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson is on his way to becoming the greatest UFC champion of all time—if he’s not already there—and his fifth-round submission of Ray Borg this past weekend at UFC 216 is among his most impressive achievements.
Johnson suplexed Borg and while Borg was suspended in mid-air the champion proceed to transition to an armbar. He secured the submission hold and seconds later Borg tapped.

The win marked his 11th consecutive title defence, which is a new UFC record. The only flyweight titleholder the promotion has ever known previously shared the record with former middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
