Demetrious Johnson finds inspiration in Joe Rogan for his alternative career path. Johnson praises Rogan and considers him a role model for his outspoken and carefree nature. During an interview, Johnson expressed his interest in becoming an analyst but preferred the freedom that YouTube offered over the restrictions of working for a fight promotion. He looks up to Rogan, who is known for his uncensored discussions on a wide range of topics. Rogan’s ability to speak his mind without consequences inspired Johnson to prioritize freedom in his own pursuits.
Despite being over 37 years old, Demetrious Johnson has not retired from MMA and is waiting for the right opportunity to fight again. In the meantime, he has focused on growing his YouTube channel, ‘Mighty,’ and maintaining relevance within the MMA community. He has interviewed notable guests, further establishing his brand. Johnson, who is widely regarded as one of the best fighters in mixed martial arts, did not receive the recognition he deserved from the UFC. Despite winning the flyweight title and defending it eleven times, he was not inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. Joe Rogan publicly supported Johnson and criticized the UFC for overlooking his accomplishments.
In 2018, the UFC traded Demetrious Johnson to One Championship after he lost his flyweight title. He continued his fighting career at One Championship and currently holds the flyweight championship in the promotion.
