Demetrious Johnson surprised by the choice of the best fighter of 2023

Dmitriy Kel Jan. 5, 2024, 2:27 p.m.

Former long-time UFC flyweight leader and current ONE bantamweight champion Demetrius Johnson named the fighter who, in his opinion, deserves to be considered the best in 2023.

“My 2023 fighter is Mike Perry. The fact is that Mike stopped two former world champions in his last fights. This guy was a very successful fighter last year, he had some really impressive wins.

Mike truly found himself in fistfights, and that is why I choose this gentleman as the best fighter of 2023,” quotes “Mighty Mouse” BJ Penn.
