Demetrious Johnson (21-2-1 MMA, 9-1-1 UFC) capped off one of the best UFC events of the year with a second-round submission of Chris Cariaso (17-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 178 pay-per-view headliner at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. “Mighty Mouse” continued his reign as the organization’s first and only flyweight titleholder with his fifth defense of the 125-pound strap, this time dispatching of Cariaso, who entered the contest as the largest betting underdog in UFC history. Johnson’s victory further etched his name in the 125-pound record books and put a bow on an 11-fight card that saw six bouts end in knockout or submission.
