‘Mighty Mouse’ took pleasure in a famous profession in the UFC, winning the inaugural flyweight champion and protecting the belt a record 11 times before being traded to ONE Championship in 2018.

Johnson just recently contributed to his list of distinctions at the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Pan American Championship, winning gold in the featherweight Masters department and taking home silver from an openweight competition.

On a current episode of his popular podcast, Rogan enjoyed on in awe as the 155lb ex-UFC fighter tapped out a challenger weighing nearly 100lbs much heavier than him.

“How crazy is that? ‘Mighty Mouse’ took on a guy who is 250lbs in a jiu-jitsu tournament and he tapped him,” Rogan informed comic Joey Diaz.

“The dude was heavier than him by 100lbs. The dude was enormous, the guy was so much bigger than him. He’s great at everything too.

“Look at the size difference. Look at how big that dude is. ‘Mighty Mouse’ is so slick. He manages to stay on top, which is really crazy. It’s crazy that he couldn’t get him off him. That’s technique.

“It’s pretty wild that he’s even willing to do this. He’s still doing MMA, he’s still doing high-level championship fights and he’s competing in a Gi tournament, which is nuts!”
