It is safe to say that Demetrious Johnson has been destroyed by how the Main Event of UFC Saudi -Arabia ended.
The former UFC champion flight weight looked at home while Israel Adesanya was eliminated by Nassourdine Imavov in two rounds in the ANB Arena in Ridyah on Saturday evening.
Viral images show that Demetrious Johnson loses his cool while watching 'The Last Stylebender' continuing his poor run, which started with a huge upset loss against Sean Strickland on UFC 293 in September 2023, and continued when Dricus du Plessis left him Tap UFC 305 last August.
'Mighty Mouse' hoped that Israel Adenaya was back on the right track in UFC Saudi Arabia.

Demetrious Johnson responds to Israel Adesanya to get Ko'd
Johnson went crazy while he saw how the disastrous form of Adesanya went against Imavov.
“No! F ***! Get up, Izzy! F ***! F ***! God Dammit,” Johnson shouted as he looked at the Ko series.
The recently retired fighting legend tried to give Imavov rekisites for his victory, but he had trouble doing this because of the pure disappointment of watching Adesanya for the third time in a row.
Johnson added: “Very respect for Izzy, man, to go there and shaking the hand of the man who just turned him off.
“F ***, man, now I have a headache from the headache … Congratulations Nassourdine. I am happy … I am not happy, I am actually crazy. I am glad he is a victor. I don't know how to say it, I'm not happy, f *** that s *** [but] Good for him. “
What is the next step for Israel Adesanya?
Adesanya initially gave a cautious answer to questions about his fighting future after UFC Saudi Arabia.
Shortly thereafter, Adesanya claimed 'I'll Be Back' as he placed on social media for the first time since the loss.
Johnson insists that he will fully support what the former dual UFC champion decides to do below.
“To be honest, whatever the F *** Izzy, I am on board,” he said.
“Sometimes in the career of an athlete, and why I made the decision to retire, there was nothing left in your mixed martial arts career.
“He has had many fights in kickboxing, and it is not like his mixed martial arts career. He is a workhorse. I think in 20 months they said he had seven fights – that is a workload that not everyone can sustain.
“I'm sure he's very rich. I am sure that he is one of the largest middle weights of all time in mixed martial arts. What is there to prove for Israel Adesanya? To be honest, I don't think there is nothing left for him.
'Of course he is still an athlete. He is still young at the age of 35. I am sure he still wants to continue to compete – but at what costs? “
