Demetrious Johnson is leaving the door open for a return to ONE Championship

Bursting into ONE Championship in 2019, Demetrious Johnson picked up right where he left off the UFC, winning the ONE Flyweight MMA World Grand Prix championship en route to receiving his first shot at the promotion's flyweight MMA world title. Though he came up short in his first attempt, Johnson delivered a highlight-reel flying knee knockout in his ONE on Prime Video 1 rematch with Adriano Moraes to claim his first 26 pounds of gold.

Johnson added a second-straight victory over Moraes at ONE Fight Night 10 in May 2023. He has not stepped inside the Circle since, but "Mighty Mouse" continues to leave the door open should something especially enticing come along.

“I'm always going leave that door open because something might land in my lap or ‘Oh that sounds fun! Let's make it happen.’ So I’m still training, still staying fresh, and learning more in no-gi in jiu-jitsu. But we'll see,” Johnson told MMA Junkie.
