Demetrious Johnson says he isn’t close to retiring from MMA: ‘I feel great, and here I am still competing’

Demetrious Johnson doesn’t see retirement in his near future.

Johnson, the former UFC flyweight champion and now ONE Championship fighter, believes he’s got a few good years left in MMA. Johnson (30-4-1) is 36 and has been competing professionally for 15 years. Yet, despite being very deep into his fighting career, Johnson still feels good about his standing.

“I think three to four more years,” Johnson told MMA Junkie. “I’ll probably keep on competing, depending on how my body feels. And after that, I want to spend as much time with my family and my kids. I love being a father. I love being a husband. I love being at home. That’s one of the things I truly cherish.
