Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson is considered as the greatest of all time to ever do it in MMA…
But he is also an incredibly skilled and accomplished BJJ practitioner – and he’s recently trained with the Ruotolo Brothers as well!
Johnson shared the video via social media:
It was like a monster from the depths of the void!!

Both Ruotolo brothers and Johnson have been tearing it in competition recently.
Kade Ruotolo, for example, will soon have his MMA debut – as well as a lightweight submission grappling world title match against Mikey Musumeci…
Whereas Demetrious Johnson has been promoted to BJJ black belt after defeating a 248lbs beast at an IBJJF tournament!
His opponent had nothing but great news for Mighty Mouse:
He’s a beast, man.
Keeping that dude still is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. He’s rough.
Johnson couldn’t have been happier about his black belt promotion:
Amazing day of training!!
Thank you to professor Bibiano Fernandes & professor Yan McCane for presenting me with my black belt promotion today!It was extremely special also having my two coaches from the start of my MMA career there as well.
I’m honored and looking to continuing my journey as a martial artist while also competing as a black belt!
