Look: Demetrious Johnson finally gets all 10 UFC belts
UFC flyweight king Demetrious Johnson has long been viewed as one of the promotion's all-time dominant champions, but he's never received the hardware for his incredible efforts.
Johnson, who recently tied Anderson Silva's record of 10 title defenses by a UFC champion, said after his latest victory that he wasn't able to pose with all his belts because he hadn't received one for each of his wins as flyweight champ.
On Wednesday, Johnson posted to Twitter that the UFC had granted his wish:

UFC president Dana White said that, while champions don't actually get a belt every time they win, he would make an exception for the dominant "Mighty Mouse."
This isn't just a one-off thing, either. Johnson will get to keep all the belts, according to Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com.
