UFC CEO Dana White recently expressed his certainty that former flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson will be inducted into the prestigious UFC Hall of Fame. Johnson, who announced his retirement from MMA competition at ONE Championship 168 in Denver, received widespread celebration for his remarkable career. With a record-breaking 11 consecutive title defenses and numerous other accomplishments under his belt, Johnson's place in MMA history is undeniable.

White's praise for Johnson came during an interview with John Morgan of Grind City Media following Saturday's UFC Fight Night 242 event in Las Vegas. Reflecting on their past interactions, White acknowledged his unwavering support for Johnson during his time in the UFC. He stated, "If you could go back to when he was here, I was defending him from the fans. So who has defended Demetrious Johnson more than me? Good for him. Incredible career he had; I've never had a problem with Demetrious Johnson."

Following his retirement, Johnson made history yet again by becoming the first fighter to be inducted into the ONE Championship Hall of Fame. However, it seems that this honor is just the beginning of the accolades the renowned fighter will receive. White firmly stated, "Absolutely (he will be inducted)," confirming Johnson's inclusion in the UFC Hall of Fame.

Throughout his career, Johnson showcased exceptional talent and unparalleled consistency. His dominance in the flyweight division was a testament to his skill and dedication. While his departure from the UFC in 2018 caused quite a stir, Johnson's transition to ONE Championship proved to be successful as he claimed the flyweight title.

With his retirement, Johnson leaves behind an enduring legacy that will be celebrated for years to come. As he awaits his well-deserved induction into the UFC Hall of Fame, fans and fellow fighters alike continue to admire his remarkable achievements and contributions to the sport of MMA.
