Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson defends title against Ray Borg at UFC 216
It's the move that's got the UFC world abuzz but according to Demetrious Johnson, it's no big deal as he's been working on it for some time.
The 31-year-old flyweight champion successfully defended his title for a record 11th consecutive time after getting Ray Borg to tap out at UFC 216 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Johnson, aka 'Mighty Mouse', certainly lived up to his nickname after dominating his younger opponent from the outset.
Borg would have his moments but Johnson always looked to have the edge as he continued to take his opponent down to the mat while he searched for a submission.
He finally succeeded in the fifth round, when he managed to transition a failed suplex into a mid-air arm bar prompting Borg to tap out.
"I’ve been working on it for a long time," Johnson said after the fight.
"I mastered that at the gym.
"I was feeling good and I tried to hit it.
"I lifted him up and snatched the arm so it worked out perfect.
