Demetrious Johnson, also known as ‘Mighty Mouse,’ is set to compete in this year’s IBJJF Masters World Championship. The renowned mixed martial artist and current ONE flyweight world champion will be stepping onto the mat for his first Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) tournament in nearly two decades.
Johnson’s decision to enter the championship was inspired by his son, who is an avid practitioner of jiu-jitsu. Despite being considered one of the pound-for-pound greatest fighters in MMA history, Johnson continues to evolve and develop his skills.
The IBJJF Masters World Championship will take place from August 31 to September 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Johnson expressed his excitement about competing at this level, stating, ‘This is the first time I’m ever competing at that level. Last time I did a jiu-jitsu tournament, I was 18 years old.’
As a BJJ brown belt, Johnson will make his return to competition following his recent unanimous decision victory over Adriano Moraes at ONE Fight Night 10 in May. This win marked the conclusion of their iconic trilogy.
While fans eagerly await Johnson’s next move, the question remains: if he returns to the ONE Championship, who would be his ideal opponent?
