Demetrious Johnson: “They wanted me to leave the belt in here, I ain’t doing that sh*t. I came into this sport as a champ, I’m leaving my black ass as a champ too.” 😭😭

Man I want to be seriously respectful of the great Demetrious Johnson's retirement, truly a legend.
But god those voice cracks were hilarious. Never heard ones quite as extreme as those.

Demetrious Johnson is one of six fighters who have a realistic claim to being GOAT. It’s as exclusive a group as exists and he did it while also being a legit good dude without controversy. King shit.

Demetrious Johnson still doesn't get his flowers for his quality as a fighter. One of the best MMA has ever seen, nearly unstoppable as a transitional specialist, genius clinch, and dogged and sharp as hell. If anyone said he's the best ever, there isn't much argument against it.
