Mighty Mouse Demetrious Johnson changing his nickname to just 'Mighty'

[nuraknu]

No, Reebok hasn’t struck again.

It looked like the UFC’s official apparel partner had flubbed when it left off the word “Mouse” from Demetrious Johnson’s longtime nickname on his specially made “Legacy Series” T-shirt, which was unveiled as part of a redesign to UFC fight kits today.

But the UFC flyweight champ said he wants it that way.

“I never gave myself the nickname ‘Mighty Mouse,'” Johnson told The Blue Corner. “Hopefully down the road, I’ll change it to just Demetrious ‘Mighty’ Johnson....”

Why not 'Mighty' Demetrious Johnson? The other way doesn't flow quite as well.

 

[nuraknu]

I'm not really into it. I don't see it really. But to each his own.

I think I'd almost rather he went with something completely different.

nicknames are stupid.

This might've worked if he'd done it years ago. But he's been Mighty Mouse too long.

 

[Andrewsimar Palhardass]

He's too synonymous(e) with the name at this point.

Might as well be Demetrius "I gotta big" Johnson.

Yeah man, same was with Lavar "Big" Johnson

Great choice by uhm DJ. Anything is better than 'Mighty Mouse' if you're in a super low weightclass. Ham Sandwich Johnson even sounds more dangerous.

Maybe Demetrius "eight day old ham sandwich" Johnson. That's dangerous as hell.
