It was evident from the start that Johnson had the upper hand over the Brazilian BJJ black belt Reis. Demetrious, who is the number one fighter in the world, took Reis down to the mat and submitted him with a perfect armbar. Wilson was forced to tap out for the first time in his impressive and extensive career. The win tied Johnson’s record with former champion Anderson Silva. They both hold ten consecutive title defenses. Johnson appears set to become possibly the greatest fighter of all time and says he is setting his sights on breaking the record that he shares with Silva.
