Demetrious Johnson Submits a 248-Pound Giant in Jiu-Jitsu Tournament

Demetrious Johnson is the former UFC flyweight champion who submitted a 248-pound giant at a jiu-jitsu tournament. At the 2024 IBJJF Pan Championship in Florida, the 5-foot-3 Mighty Mouse entered the openweight bracket after winning gold in his own division and met 6-foot-3 Michael Sante Medina in the quarterfinals. After surviving the early weight pressure, Johnson took the back and finished with a bow-and-arrow choke, later earning silver in the absolute. Known for his relentless technique and explosive scrambles, he set the UFC record with 11 straight flyweight title defenses before ruling ONE Championship. Celebrated across mixed martial arts and combat sports, his devastating grappling and ferocious fight IQ prove that skill can still beat size.
