Mighty: How I would beat Brock Lesnar
Demetrious Johnson: “If you hit anybody in their liver, in the right spot, or you hit them in the liver, they’re going to go down regardless.”
Demetrious ‘Mighty’ Johnson is the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC, and fights at 135. Back before he failed an anti-doping test, Brock Lesnar used to cut hard to make the UFC heavyweight limit of 265.
During a recent interview with TMZ, Johnson was asked how he would beat Lesnar. He took the question seriously, as befitting the man many say is the UFC G.O.A.T.
Obviously size is going to be a huge factor,” he replied. “But his skill is nowhere near my level, so I’m going to be blasting him in the liver – liver kicks all day. I would do what Alistair Overeem did and just blast kicks, blast kicks, blast kicks. Aand hopefully one of those liver shots puts him down, man.
Johnson was asked to confirm that liver shot from him could stop a Lesnar or Cormier.
It’s a liver shot, said Johnson. If you hit anybody in their liver, in the right spot, or you hit them in the liver, they’re going to go down regardless. The liver ceases and it just shuts the whole body down.
“Then I’d jump on Brock’s back and then choke him out.
Would your money be in Mighty or always bet on Brock?
