In a recent training session that highlights the brutal reality of weight classes, UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev needed less than a minute to submit the legendary Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson. A video posted by Johnson shows the two stars grappling, with the former flyweight king initially trading playful banter with the much larger Chimaev.

The confidence was short-lived. Chimaev, known for his suffocating pressure, swiftly locked in a brabo choke, forcing Johnson to tap at just 47 seconds. Johnson later humorously defended his strategy on social media, questioning why anyone would expect him to shoot for a takedown against a powerhouse like "Borz."

The session underscores Johnson's incredible legacy, as the future UFC Hall of Famer, who retired in 2024, was giving up significant size against the reigning 185-pound king. For Chimaev, it's a sharp display of form as he prepares for his first title defense against Sean Strickland at UFC 328 this May.
