Back in 2015, UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson took on John Dodson at UFC 191. Johnson snagged a unanimous decision victory over the title challenger, but not before having one of his most impressive moments to date.
During the match, Johnson was struck with a powerful kick below the belt. Herd Dean quickly tried to step in to halt the bout, to give Johnson five minutes to recuperate. However, Johnson swiftly raised a hand to the referee and decisively told him, “Nope, get out of the way.”
Demetrious Johnson is now set to defend his title from challenger Wilson Reis in tomorrow night’s UFC on FOX 24 main event.
UFC on FOX 24 goes down April 15 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
