VIDEO | Dana White responds to Demetrious Johnson’s request for more belts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prior to his sensational submission victory over Wilson Reis <\/a>in the main event of UFC on FOX 24, UFC flyweight kingpin Demetrious Johnson revealed that he was not happy with the UFC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Mighty Mouse’s” frustration with the promotion stemmed from the fact the he only had one UFC championship belt in his possession, this after defending his title on nice separate occasions. (The interview took place prior to DJ’s tenth-title defense last night).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m getting pissed off about that,\u201d Johnson exclaimed. \u201cI saw Daniel Cormier get three damn belts, so Dana White, WME-IMG, whoever writes the checks, give me eight damn belts please, and then I [already have one, so] nine if I win this one. I\u2019ll take it home. I\u2019m going to start collecting these belts. Michael Bisping has two belts and I\u2019m just a nice guy, just a company man, I come here and fight and then they take the belt away from me and I\u2019m like, \u2018alright, peace. Call me when you want me to come fight again.\u2019 And that\u2019s it. But now I\u2019m seeing these guys with three belts, and I\u2019m like, I only got one belt and have to share it with two of my kids.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“Mighty Mouse” continued:<\/p>\n

he wants to create a historic photo showing all of his championship successes.
\n
\n\u201cIf the UFC wants to give me nine belts, if I\u2019m successful on Saturday, I\u2019ll take the belt home \u2014 if they send me eight more \u2014 then I can do one of the things I\u2019ve always wanted to do,\u201d Johnson stated. \u201cFloyd Mayweather has a picture with his all his championship belts, and I think Andre Ward just did it too. And I think it would be cool if I can re-create that same image in mixed martial arts. You got Conor holding up two belts, two weight champion, and I think it would be cool if I were successful and got to 11, and had just 11 UFC titles and have my amateur belts, and be like this is the road I took to get here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

During last night’s UFC on FOX 24 event recap, UFC president Dana White was asked if Demetrious Johnson will be receiving some more belts. <\/p>\n
