Demetrious Johnson on breaking Anderson Silva’s record for most title defenses

UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson made history in the co-main event of UFC 216 Saturday night, submitting Ray Borg in the fifth round at T-Mobile Arena to retain his crown for the 11th time, breaking his tie with Anderson Silva for most successful title defenses in UFC history.

It was another master class by Washington’s Johnson, the UFC’s first and only 125-pound champion and holder of the belt since September 2012.
