Devhonte “Bones” Johnson is back in the gi and ready for his next challenge. The World No-Gi and Pan No-Gi Champion is stepping into the men’s Ultra-Heavy division of The Crown Presented by FloGrappling, representing Team Unity in what promises to be one of the most stacked lineups of the year. Known for his intelligent strategy, relentless work ethic, and dominant top game, Johnson has long been one of the most consistent forces in both gi and no-gi competition. His return to gi competition at The Crown marks a new chapter in his already decorated career, and a chance to once again test himself against the very best on one of jiu-jitsu’s biggest stages. Whether it’s his pressure passing, his pace, or ability to stay calm and collected, Devhonte has proven that he belongs among the sport’s elite. Now, he’s bringing that same focus and championship mindset to Long Beach, aiming to add The Crown to his list of major titles. Tickets are available now at crownibjjf.com. Kingz Kimonos is an official sponsor of The Crown.
