Johnson posted on Instagram:
"Want to take the time to thank Danny Kingad for the awesome match. It was a pleasure and honor to share the cage with you, keep your head high. Team Lakay are phenomenal role models and great ambassadors for the sport of mixed martial arts. Wish the team nothing but the best."
Johnson dominated Kingad for three whole rounds to win the One Championship Flyweight Grand Prix. With the victory, Johnson has set himself up as the number one contender for the One Championship flyweight belt currently held by Adriano Moraes of Brazil. The organization is yet to officially announce when and where the two champions will square off.
