Overall: 96Striking: 96Grappling: 95Submissions: 94 Demetrious Johnson is considered by devoted MMA fans to be one of the unsung talents of the UFC. The UFCs only ever Flyweight champ is often considered to be the most technically talented fighters in the promotion, with crafty striking skills, world-class wrestling and superb submission. These technical skills are aided by Mighty Mouses exceptional speed and footwork. Despite these skills and his dominancy in the 125-lbs division, Demetrious isnt considered to be a PPV-draw and is still used to headline free fight cards. EA havent sold Mighty Mouse short though. His 96-overall rating reflects his excellently well-rounded skill-set. The fact that his strength has been rated to be his striking is likely the result of his recent title-defence against Joseph Benavidez. Though the Team Alpha Male fighter is very well rounded himself, many believed Benavidez would have the advantage on the feet with his huge punching power and represented the biggest threat to Johnsons title so far. Thus the world was shocked when Demetrius who many believed would have to outwrestle Benavidez to win came out with a huge overhand right in the very first round to knock out the number one contender.
