A post shared by Demetrious Johnson (@mighty)

Demetrious Johnson had a difficult childhood, from not knowing about his biological father to being abused by a stepfather, and single-handedly raised by his mother Karen Johnson who is deaf.

Talking about his mother, the One Championship fighter said she was born deaf, but she didn’t allow the disability to get the best of her. Moreover, she managed it so well that Demetrious couldn’t believe it when his older sister told him their mother is deaf. He said she read his lips after teaching him to always look her in the face when she speaks to her.

Furthermore, Karen John didn’t learn sign language, she only watches TV with closed captions. Her son said she was born in Kentucky and grew up in the 60s and 70s when there wasn’t an opportunity for people with her condition to learn sign language.

Despite her disability, she stuck to discipline and hard work. She also passed them to the mixed martial artist and his siblings. She told him to work hard, and that he can have whatever he wanted.

His stepfather, on the other hand, was in the military. According to various reports, Demetrious and his siblings suffered abuse at his hands. Regardless of the abuse, the mixed martial artist said he held nothing against him saying he understood why he did the things he did to him and his siblings. He said frustration can make one take a path to restore order, and his stepfather took a different angle of bringing up him and his siblings and abusing them.

Going further, the former UFC fighter recently came into contact with his biological father. He met him when he was 30 years old. Sometime in 2019, he shared an image of himself and his biological father on Instagram with the caption:

Spent some time with pops last week. Found out the mofo use to perform for the queen sister back in England!! crazy love ya pops.Spent some time with pops last week. Found out the mofo use to perform for the queen sister back in England!! crazy love ya pops.

other mages from the post showed that his biological father was a performer and member of the Roxy Rollers.
