EA Sports UFC 2: 10 Highest Rated Pound-For-Pound Fighters

2. Demetrious Johnson (95)

Demetrius Johnson is arguably the fastest fighter in the UFC, with his quick striking and elusive footwork making him a hard target to pin down. From a young age, the American was an avid runner - competing in the State Championships as both a track and cross country athlete. That natural speed and engine is apparent in the fighter we see today, and when you throw in his high wrestling pedigree, he looks a pretty formidable force. All of those attributes make up for Johnson's serious lack of height. Though one of the finest fighters on the planet, he stands at only 5'3" tall. Johnson is currently on a run of seven successful UFC Flyweight title defences - the longest streak of any active champion. He will be back in the octagon at UFC 197, where he will face Henry Cejudo - who is yet to taste defeat during his relatively short MMA career. The Flyweight king is unsurprisingly the heavy favourite, and it may well be that his speed proves to much for the far less experienced and far poorer stand-up fighter in Cejudo.
