During a 2022 episode of Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, Joe Rogan was asked by the former world heavyweight champion to name the greatest fighter in UFC history. Without hesitation, Rogan pointed to Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson. Rogan praised Johnson’s incredible speed, agility, and the remarkable techniques he displayed in his fights.
Rogan specifically highlighted Johnson’s memorable victory over Ray Borg, where he executed a suplex and seamlessly transitioned into an armbar submission mid-air. Rogan emphasized Johnson’s exceptional skill set and his dominance in the flyweight division, where he defended his title an impressive 11 times.
Despite having called fights for legends like Georges St-Pierre, Anderson Silva, and Jon Jones, Rogan’s choice for the UFC GOAT was firmly anchored in Johnson’s outstanding achievements and innovative fighting style during his prime.
