5 video games Demetrious Johnson plays when he’s not training

Multiple-time UFC flyweight world champion and mixed martial arts legend Demetrious Johnson is the ultimate competitor. In a stellar 14-year career, he’s been able to reach a level unparalleled in the world of mixed martial arts, and many experts consider him to be the greatest mixed martial arts fighter of all time.

However, Demetrious Johnson is also a man of many talents, some of which extend far beyond the cage. And when he’s not beating people up for a living, you can find him in a completely different arena.

Demetrious Johnson moonlights as a popular Twitch streamer. The 35-year-old has been a PC and gaming enthusiast for a very long time and has built a solid and dedicated fanbase on his 'MightGaming' Twitch TV channel.

Demetrious Johnson has been streaming frequently, from the latest blockbuster triple-A game to a handful of little-known independent titles. From first-person shooters and survival horrors to role-playing, he plays it all – and it’s a lot of fun to watch him do it.

He also loves to interact with fans, and sometimes answers a host of questions, AMA-style.

It’s clear that aside from mixed martial arts, gaming is 'Mighty Mouse’s' passion. Here are five video games he plays when he’s not in the gym.

#5. Diablo II: Resurrected

'Diablo II' is one of the most iconic role-playing games in video game history. Anyone who was into PC gaming in the late ’90s and early 2000s should be a fan of the Diablo franchise – and you can count Demetrious Johnson among those fans.

"Diablo II: Resurrected" is the remastered version of the original, with updated graphics and gameplay, and even support for eight-player online gaming. It includes everything from the original Diablo II game and its 'Lord of Destruction' expansion. On top of this, the entire game is redone, giving the classic a modern makeover.

Diablo II: Resurrected is a throwback to arguably the best installment in the franchise.

Watch Demetrious Johnson traverse through the depths of hell, battling his way through dungeons and caverns to defeat the evils lurking within, all while responding to his Twitch audience.

#4. New World

Diving further into Demetrious Johnson’s obsession with role-playing games, we find him immersed in 'New World,' a game some people say is the most fun MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game in recent memory.

The game offers new and veteran MMO enthusiasts alike a wonderful mix of exciting combat mechanics, character development, and open-world discovery.

For a longtime fan and player of "World of Warcraft," "New World" is very familiar to Demetrious Johnson, who enjoys these types of grinding experiences. Watch 'Mighty Mouse' traverse the shores of Aeternum, the Eternal Isle and explore a massive world while interacting with thousands of other players.

If you play 'New World,' chances are you might run into him one of these days. How cool would that be to cross swords online with one of the greatest mixed martial artists in history?

#3. Player Unknown’s: Battlegrounds (PUBG)

PUBG is the cult classic that took the video gaming world by storm a few years ago. Today, it’s one of the biggest multiplayer online shooters in existence. In many ways, it popularized the battle royale format, where players group up into teams or go solo to win the 'chicken dinner.'

With servers that can host up to 100 players in a single session, watch Demetrious Johnson truly shine with his quick reflexes and deadshot aim. It’s great to see one of the best mixed martial artists in history go back and forth with gamers online, even engaging in some friendly competitive banter on occasion.

Demetrious Johnson has even played online with fellow ONE Championship athlete, former ONE featherweight and lightweight world champion Martin Nguyen, who is also an avid gamer.

While Demetrious Johnson admits he’s not the best at shooters, there’s no denying he knows how PUBG works and is good enough at the game to enjoy it. That says a lot because if you’ve ever tried PUBG at any point in your life, you know how brutal it is.

#2. Resident Evil Village

Another classic video game franchise, the Resident Evil series, has been around since the glory days of the original Playstation. It’s arguably the greatest survival horror video game in history. The Resident Evil franchise is so popular it has even been adapted for the big screen in Hollywood. There's a whole installment of Resident Evil movies out there, starring the gorgeous Milla Jovovich.

However, Resident Evil, the game is known for its atmospheric immersion, thrusting players right into the middle of a full-blown zombie apocalypse.

Witnessing Demetrious Johnson react to the various jump scares scattered throughout the game is entertainment in itself. 'Resident Evil Village' is a disturbing visual experience, complete with spooks to accompany the trademark blood and gore. Many players say it’s a throwback to the fourth iteration of the series, which was more action-packed and fast-paced.

Survival horror isn’t for everyone, but Demetrious Johnson is a video game aficionado. He is open to any video game experience, no matter the genre.

#1. Grand Theft Auto V

Last but not least is what many consider the greatest video game of all time. 'Grand Theft Auto V' is an immersive experience, to say the least. It's modern American-style role-playing at its finest. It's not the only game of its kind. Many developers have tried to do it better than developer Rockstar North, but no one has ever come close.

Apart from an incredible single-player campaign, 'Grand Theft Auto V' has a ridiculously enjoyable online multiplayer sec, where players play with or against each other in putting together and executing heists, among many other missions and campaigns.

It is perhaps the only video game that we can confidently say everyone has fun with, including Demetrious Johnson, who has had his fair share of hilarious moments playing with strangers online.
