With Dominick Cruz and Demetrious Johnson both hailed as two of the most dominant champions in the UFC, many fans have been calling for the pair to have a rematch of their 2011 scrap that saw Cruz walk away with a unanimous decision. Cruz, who is fresh off a dominant decision win over Urijah Faber at UFC 199, currently doesn’t have a fight set, but has verbally agreed to defend his belt against Cody Garbrandt.

UFC flyweight champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson is looking to do exactly that. Maybe, not just at this very moment. Being often talked about in the debate of the pound-for-pound best fighter on the planet, Johnson is slowly building his gaming career up as his main occupation of beating people up as a world champion MMA fighter is taking up most of his time.
