Where does UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson rank his record winning streak?

LAS VEGAS – Where do UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson’s record 10 consecutive title defenses rank among the all-time great streaks in sports?

Johnson (26-2-1 MMA, 14-1-1 UFC) doesn’t know. He’s not much of a sports guy.

“I don’t know,” Johnson told MMAjunkie following his open workout on Thursday. “I don’t even pay attention to other people’s streaks.”

Maybe the better question is where would No. 11 put him. But that will be determined Saturday, when he faces Ray Borg(11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in the pay-per-view co-headliner of UFC 216, which takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

If he wins, Johnson will break the all-time record for consecutive title defenses at 11, overtaking ex-champ Anderson Silva as the winningest champion in the promotion’s history.

Could that put him in the same league as other combat sports heroes like Rocky Marciano, Floyd Mayweather and Julio Caesar Chavez? Could it put him in the same league as stars from other sports?

Johnson will leave that for other’s to debate. Right now, he’s got No. 11 on his mind.
