While fans still don’t seem to respect him, it’s clear that Demetrious Johnson’s peers do.
The UFC Flyweight champion finished off Kyoji Horiguchi last night and added an exclamation point to his sixth straight title defence by forcing his opponent to submit in the final second of the match.
Many UFC athletes took to Twitter comment on the exciting finish.
Horiguchi's timing looks excellent. 1st round goes to DJ tho. #UFC186

Me: Do you think he's a nice guy *points at DJ*
Joe: Dunno. Never met him
Me: Speculate
Joe: Okay. Probably he is.
Super engrossing fight
