Demetrious Johnson didn’t have a cakewalk in his debut with ONE Championship, but his brutal guillotine choke got him through. Johnson (28-3-1) submitted Yuya Wakamatsu (10-4) in the second round of their flyweight grand prix tournament opening-round bout at “ONE Championship 92: A New Era.” Johnson got the finish at the 2:40 mark of the second round. Johnson was making his highly anticipated ONE Championship debut after signing with the promotion in 2018 after years in the UFC, where he was the promotion’s inaugural and longtime 125-pound champion until he lost the belt to Henry Cejudo in mid-2018. “ONE Championship 92: A New Era” took place at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo.
