UFC to Induct Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson Into Hall of Fame Modern Wing

Overview

• The UFC named Demetrious Johnson to its 2026 Hall of Fame Modern Wing, with the ceremony planned for International Fight Week in Las Vegas this summer.
• The announcement was spotlighted during the UFC's Seattle event, where the Washington native attended with his family and received a loud ovation.
• Johnson became the UFC’s first flyweight champion and still holds the promotion’s record for most consecutive title defenses with 11.
• After losing the belt to Henry Cejudo in 2018, he moved to ONE Championship in a rare swap for Ben Askren and went on to win the flyweight grand prix and later a title.
• Reports differ on his final retirement year and record, yet coverage agrees his consistency and technical skill set the standard for the 125-pound class.
