Demetrious Johnson Reaffirms Retirement After Alexandre Pantoja's UFC 310 Callout

The MMA legend, now 38, insists he has no plans to return to the Octagon despite a public challenge from the reigning flyweight champion.

Alexandre Pantoja called out Demetrious Johnson after his UFC 310 victory, claiming Johnson should return to prove himself as the greatest flyweight of all time.
Johnson, retired since September 2024, firmly rejected the idea, stating he is content with his decision and financial stability.
The 38-year-old former champion emphasized his satisfaction with his career, which includes 11 UFC flyweight title defenses and success in ONE Championship.
Pantoja, who secured his third title defense at UFC 310, may face limited options for his next opponent due to prior victories over top-ranked contenders.
UFC President Dana White acknowledged the callout but expressed uncertainty about the feasibility of a Johnson-Pantoja matchup even if Johnson reconsidered.
