Demetrious Johnson will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer, recognized as the greatest flyweight in MMA history.
Since then, the "BMF" title has been one of the UFC's savviest marketing plays, reserved for the promotion's most ferocious, exciting fighters: Diaz, Masvidal, Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, Holloway and Oliveira. The UFC stands as the BMF's official record keeper, but the true origin story belongs to Diaz. It's a story that began in Stockton, California, where every Diaz story starts.
I swear to God, I didn't know he was in the UFC. I saw him fighting in ONE Championship. His highlight was everywhere when he knocked out the guy with flying knee... Now I know him but I've never watched his fights.
