Demetrious Johnson let everyone know how he felt when Ryan Garcia scored an unbelievable victory over Devin Haney this past weekend.

Garcia scored an impressive majority decision against Haney in their catchweight bout this past weekend at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

Johnson, though, was thoroughly pumped up when Garcia dropped Haney three times throughout the fight.

The reigning ONE flyweight MMA world champion took to Instagram and YouTube to share his reaction to the matchup between two of the most polarizing boxers of this generation.

"I was wrong about @kingryan, I gotta start drinking before every fight now!" wrote Demetrious Johnson. "But seriously some of the most I've had watching boxing in a long time."

While his caption provided some insight into his thoughts, what Johnson shouted during his live reaction to the fight cannot be overlooked.

"F******* dropped him! He f****** dropped him! He f****** dropped him again! This is where Ryan Garcia does his best, when he just f****** works when he takes it to the opponent," said Johnson in his live reaction.
"Back the f*** up ref. That's not a knockdown, are you f****** kidding me? Ohh! Dropped him again! If Ryan just f****** fights, he beats him easily, let's f****** go. Ohh another drop! Another f****** drop! The fight is over man. They want Devin to stay in the f****** fight. I have Garcia winning that fight."

The win was Garcia's second straight and pushed his overall record to 25-1, while Haney (31-1) dropped the first match of his career.


Demetrious Johnson hyped for ONE Championship's upcoming fights

Demetrious Johnson has long pondered a potential retirement from mixed martial arts, but the American legend remains adamant that no final decision has been made.

While his retirement plans remain in limbo, Johnson upped the ante on his career outside of MMA.

Johnson runs the successful Mighty YouTube channel and often analyzes the biggest fights across combat sports.

In an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Johnson said he's hyped for ONE Championship's upcoming cards.

"When I went on this journey to cover MMA, not just MMA, but sports in general, fighting, I only cover the sports that I wake up to and [say], 'That's a sick fight. That's a sick matchup.' Not just the UFC, but ONE Championship too."
