Demetrious Johnson claims UFC immortality with 11th title defence:

One of the greatest finishes of all time.
Although he features in the co-main event tonight, this latest championship defence for Demetrious Johnson is the most important to date for the P4P #1. Slick grappler Ray Borg stands between 'Mighty Mouse' and his quest for that illustrious title defence record as Kentucky native DJ seeks an astonishing 11th consecutive Flyweight defence. Our third man in the octagon for this one is Dan Miragliotta.

Our first of two title fights began with a couple of inside leg kicked from Johnson with Borg raising to check one of four early attempts. Two stiff body kicks landed well for DJ who then momentarily took the back of Ray who eventually spun and escaped cleverly. Borg then tried for his own takedown but to no avail with Johnson demonstrating his supreme wrestling early on. Incredible grappling from both men as DJ tried for an Americana, Kimura and Arm Triangle, all defended expertly by Ray who then scrambled back into full guard as the round came to it's close.

Borg immediately closed the distance at the beginning of the second round pinned Johnson to the cage before the champ spun out and almost gave up his neck to a standing Guillotine. Huge moment for Borg as he secured an eye catching takedown and even found himself on the back of Johnson with 'Mighty Mouse' shaking the youngster off. DJ again asserted his dominance from the top establishing a mounted crucifix before smashing Borg with some nasty knees back in the clinch. Another round for Johnson who has so far out landed Borg 62-1 in terms of total strikes, incredible.

Another rapid start to the third round from both men as Demetrious Johnson once more managed to establish side control, constantly eyeing a Kimura. Dominating the entire third round so far, Borg was unable to muster up any offence from the bottom, particularly when he was mounted from a scramble. Momentarily back on the feet, Johnson struck with a right hook to the body before dropping for a double leg almost allowing a Guillotine opportunity for Borg.

Borg made a hugely impressive start to the fourth round landing a huge takedown before he was once again stranded below Johnson. Two punishing knees brought the total strikes to 127-11 in the favour of Johnson. Surely four rounds in the bag for Johnson.

More one way traffic in the fifth and final round for Demetrious Johnson  but arguably his biggest ever win came in the most impressive way we've ever seen. Johnson looked as if he was trying for a suplex from the back of Borg and on the way down catches Borg's arm and puts him straight into an armbar and eventually forces the tap from 'The Tazmexican Devil'. The Greatest Of All Time.
