UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson is arguably the pound for pound kingpin of MMA at the present time.

After being forced to withdraw from his UFC 201 scrap with Wilson Reis in July, Johnson has decided to look to showcase his talents outside of the Octagon.

‘Mighty Mouse’ issued a challenge to MMA journalist Ariel Helwani via social media, which you can see above.

Helwani responded via Twitter:

Look, kid, you're a living MMA legend, but w/ all due respect, you don't want none of this. Ask @BensonHenderson. 💪 https://t.co/9hemkzyevG
