Michael Bisping Believes LeBron James Would Beat Demetrious Johnson in a UFC Fight

MMA veteran Demetrious Johnson and NBA legend LeBron James have been giving a hard time to their rivals throughout their respective careers.

Standing at 1.6m, Johnson is an elite MMA fighter who has been in deep waters in his career but still emerged victorious. No wonder he can knockout elites on this planet.

The former UFC flyweight champion has competed across various promotions in the world, clinching victories everywhere.

That said, how would ‘Mighty Mouse’ perform against LeBron ‘King’ James, an NBA player who stands 2.06m tall? MMA fans would seemingly bet on Johnson any day.

However, the former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping doesn’t share the same opinion. Bisping answered a fan on Twitter and surprised a bunch of people with his statement.

The Englishman believes that LeBron James would beat Demetrious Johnson in a UFC fight.

Michael Bisping vows LeBron James would defeat Demetrious Johnson in UFC

A Twitter account named Dave asked Bisping to state whether James would have an upper hand over Johnson or not in a UFC fight. Surprisingly, Bisping wrote, “Yes”.

Johnson is a true veteran of the sport and is yet to react to it. Despite that, countless fans have already nuked ‘The Count’ for his reaction.

Brian Steinhoff replied to Bisping’s statement and claimed that LeBron James wouldn’t survive a minute in MMA.

Another user Keith Sutton slammed the Briton UFC star and compared his legacy with Dan Henderson. Keith cussed at Bisping for retaining himself in a single weight class (middleweight) throughout.

While another user just wrote, “You’re high Michael”.

Mighty Mouse in ONE Championship

After having a thunderous run in UFC, ‘Mighty Mouse’ is now dominating in ONE Championship. He has already held the world title in Asia, defeating three A-listed flyweights, Yuya Wakamatsu, Tatsumitsu Wada, and Danny Kingad.

Despite being a lethal fighter, Johnson has always been humble outside the cage. He was one of the top-rated prodigies in UFC until Dana White decided to trade him for Ben Askren.

Unsurprisingly, he is still holding the top spot, just in a different promotion.

‘King’ vs ‘Mighty Mouse’- No chance

While the NBA is back for the fans, LeBron James has started to put on a show already. It is bizarre to even think of him donning the coveted 4-ounce gloves anytime soon.

We know Dana White seemingly holds an interest in cross-promotion events, but Johnson is no longer a part of UFC. However, fans don’t stop to assume and pitch their opinions regarding the fantasy blockbuster matchup.
