Demetrious Johnson had the perfect response to Yoel Romero's 'Minnie Mouse' flub
Yoel Romero certainly knows who Demetrious Johnson is, but you'll have to forgive his lack of knowledge on mouse cartoon characters. I'm just thankful it gave us one of the funniest unintentional jokes of the year in MMA.
Here's why.
During an interview with Submission Radio, Romero was asked to name his four greatest UFC fighters of all time. Romero rattled off Jon Jones No. 1, Anderson Silva No. 2, and Georges St-Pierre No. 3 before taking a moment to think and included Johnson No. 4.
As pointed out on X, Romero hilariously flubbed his nickname:
Of course, we all know DJ's nickname is "Mighty Mouse" after the animated superhero, not Mickey's sweetheart "Minnie Mouse."
Me personally? I don't think Romero meant "Minnie Mouse" but instead called him "Mini" Mouse, as in a small mouse. Which makes sense since Johnson is a flyweight. Honest mistake!
Johnson caught wind of Romero's flub and gave us the perfect response a day later on X. Check it out:
Well played, champ.
