'Mighty Mouse' said:
"I'm gonna break some news right now. I came home last night, broke down some content, and was watching Canelo Alvarez, watching him box. And I was like, 'Oh my god, that looks so damn dope'. Went to the gym, did jiu-jitsu, then came home and [told my wife] 'I think I want to box."
Johnson is widely considered by many to be among the greatest of all time in mixed martial arts. But recently, he delved into the world of submission grappling, winning gold medals in some very important tournaments over the past 12 months.
Just recently, he got his black belt in BJJ, and now, he wants to try pugilism.

Speaking on the Believe YOU ME podcast with Michael Bisping on YouTube, Johnson talked about how he is beginning to influence his kids with BJJ training.
'Might Mouse' said:
"My oldest son, he's going to be a pilot. He loves aviation. That's gotta allow him to travel the world and do jiu-jitsu. That's the cool thing about jiu-jitsu. He's trained in Floriday, Las Vegas, and even competed in Las Vegas. He's gonna try to compete all around the world. My daughter, I don't know what she's going to do."
