UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (17-2-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC) will walk into the cage next week at UFC on FOX 8 to defend his belt against challenger John Moraga (13-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), and already he knows one outcome of the fight in advance. Win or lose, Johnson will wind down from the rigors of fight camp by spending time with his wife and, perhaps, a new son. He’ll get back in the gym and start training, like he always does. And he’ll wait for the next fight, whether it be a title or non-title fight, name opponent or otherwise. Keep the belt or not, he’s resolved to both possibilities. “So far, it’s kept me to a point where if I lose the belt, I don’t go into deep depression,” Johnson told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “You have fighters that say, ‘There’s no way I’m going to lose this fight.’ Then when they do lose, ‘Oh my god, I lost.’ “I don’t need to do that.
