Johnson is going for his 11th defence this Sunday in Edmonton against Ray Borg – which would take him ahead of Silva, who he currently shares the lead of 10 with.
And Mighty Mouse doesn’t just want to go beyond the shared record with Silva, he wants to obliterate it with his eye on 15 successful defences.
He said: “A friend of mine once said, ‘10 that’s attainable, 11 that’s attainable.’
“He goes, ‘15 is f—-ing legendary.’ He goes, ‘Why don’t you just go to 15?’ I said, ‘you know what? Why not?’ I mean I’m 31 years old and I feel good and you’ve got a lot of new young up and coming guys coming into the division so why not just keep on doing it because I can.”
Johnson goes up against the Tazmexican Devil in the main event at UFC 215 in Canada on Sunday night.

Johnson 26-2-1 will need to hand out Borg’s first defeat and he admits his war of words with UFC president Dana White is over.
“The conversation that me and Dana White had at UFC 214 was just two grown ass men discussing what happened in our downfall,” he said.
“We’re on good terms now and we’re ready to go out there and put on an exciting fight in the UFC 215.”
