The Demetrious Johnson Problem

Picture
What would you do if you ran an MMA promotion and someone had a championship for 6 years? I know what I’d do, I would try and take the championship off of the champ and put him against the toughest challengers possible to see how much of a champion he really is. UFC has tried and tested this method but Johnson has proven he’s better than the rest of the division and that is a problem.


Johnson has been flyweight champion since August 2012 and hasn’t even struggled with the title which is quite scary when you look at this opponents, he makes it look easy but it wouldn’t be. But when there’s a problem, there’s a solution.


What I’d do is move Demetrious Johnson to bantamweight and let him challenge for the belt between the winner of Dillashaw and Garbrandt. Yes, I understand this is just moving the problem from A to B but when “B” is a new Division is there any complaining? You’d have some fresh match ups between Dillashaw, Garbrandt, Lineker, Rivera and even Moreas. I am also aware that Johnson has lost a bantamweight title match but that was back in 2011 and Johnson is now miles better.


If Demetrious Johnson fights at bantamweight then the problem would be resolved but if he manages to be even better then send the man packing to the featherweight division. I like Demetrious Johnson and is one of my favourite fighters in the UFC.
