Man he looks so calm for his first tournament. Almost like he’s performed somewhere else at an elite level competitor before....
He watches anime, that's why.
LMAO
bradly martin im 260 though
5:16 It was almost like he had executed a flying armbar before to defend a title. Not sure😂
Nioce
DJ’s stamina is absolutely out of control. He was explosive the whole time
Insane athlete. It's what happens when you stay at your natural weight you end up healthy
@@fitusmaximusi think its just more him being an elite level professional athlete
@@cr7neymar908 It can be both.
He's good! Great position forward attack!
Seriously out of control. It's fucking insane.
If this Demetrious guy continues to train hard and stays focused I have a feeling he’s really going to go far in combat sports. Good luck to you.
🤣
:-)
He is a champion in two different organizations, what are you talking about?…
Tongue in cheek I think😅
@BarkhatnieTyagi hellooooo?? Not have your morning coffee yet or is this a bot??
He is insanely fast at 37! He’s just doing this for fun and wins gold?! He’s a super athlete. You can see all the grappling influences. One of the most exciting GI matches I’ve seen in a while. Well deserved. 💪👏
37 is the new 27 bro
His age means absolutely nothing. He is an ELITE tier combat sports athlete. His 37 is faster than 99.9% of trained 18 year-olds. Age is only a number. It's the mileage that matters.
@@mdc123-v2v I mean ur statement is totally wrong factually and scientifically. Age is OBVIOUSLY not only a number in the context of performance. Hence why there are no champions winning title fights in ufc @ 170 and under after the age of 35+. The current record is 2-29 with tyrone woodley being the 2. Only guys in the big boy weight classes get away with being 35+ as contenders and champions. Age 100 percent matters. DJ is competing in the masters 2 worlds here which is literally 35-40 yrs olds there are no 18-34 yr olds lol. So his age does not matter because he is literally competing against his own age XD. DJ would NOT win the ADULT 18-29 ibjjf gi brown worlds period. Masters 2 is still a nice Win though
But yes taking care of urself and being a world champion lvl athlete already means u will decline slower but at the end of the day even if u did everything perfectly by the time DJ is 40 yrs old he very well will have declined compared to his 28 yrs old self and thats due to age not mileage. Hence no one starts BJJ and MMA at 40 and becomes a champion lol
@@mdc123-v2v his age means he's in a MASTERS (30+) tourney instead of an ADULT (18+), where he'd get a lot more competition and challenge
@@mdc123-v2vage matters a lot. Resource and experience matters a lot too. His job keeps him in top shape and offers a steady plethora of experience. If an 18yo had the same physicality as him, they’d be stronger, but they wouldn’t know how to efficiently use that strength like he can.
Can you imagine what that must be like. Stepping into your first round of matches at a Masters world tournament and there is Demetrius Johnson, one of the MMA GOATS, standing across from you on the mat. DAMN! The guy chokes out RODTANG a couple of months ago and here he is at an IBJJF tournament. What a martial arts role model!
I’m instantly too injured to compete 😆😆😆
@@PaulJohn283 Hell no, I would want to go for sure! Once in a lifetime experience that you can tell the grandkids.
@blueeyedbull67 100%! I would love to test myself against him! Will lose, most likely yes but I would give it my all and use it as motivation! I love dj
@@blueeyedbull67yeah if it was someone like Jon jones in mma who is a ruthless killer I wouldn’t want to do it but if it’s dj in grappling I think dj is kind enough not to destroy my limbs
Battle of the BJJ noobies: Mighty Mouse VS Zuckerberg. It must be done IBJJF
That passing speed is insane but man he did incredible. No shame to losing against this monster.
his ability to change directions and put hip pressure at 37 is remarkable, well done MM!
He is 37? 😮
@@thatindiandude4602 he is, this was Master II division lol
37 isn’t old if you took care of yourself
MM’s devotion to the martial arts is why he is legendary. Meanwhile O’Connor is rolling with ho’s.
@@thatindiandude4602he said that literally in the video
One of the greatest modern role models! This man has such warmth in his soul and so much dedication. Thank you for existing, DJ!
Ive never seen anyone with such smooth and fast guard passes. Its beautiful his grappling is actually godly
His base is absurd at that speed.
Look after bruno malafacine….
@@nayl3476 I've rolled with Bruno during a seminar before. Every time you try to make a grip on him, he isn't there anymore. Cartwheel passing is his signature when rolling with plebs. Mighty Mouse has quick low floating hips which is different but the real key to his game is pummeling and the ability to switch between high and low connection attacks. I wouldn't say he's technical and quick like Bruno but he's more explosive and pushes the pace way more.
have you watched much IBJJF tournaments? The small guys are all fast!
@@davidchang5740 yeah im really fan of both ! They didn’t received the attention they deserve imo, a match between Bruno and mighty will be fun to watch…even if they are not in the same league (in bjj)
To my fellow Masters competitors… there’s no shame is losing to Mighty Mouse. Dude is an MMA legend and is one of GOATs. Would be an honor to compete against him.
It's also pretty well agreed upon that MM is much more advanced than brown belt.
He has better strength and conditioning than guys 15 years younger than him
@ingetout He has better strength and conditioning than 99.9% of trained males on the planet bro.
@@mdc123-v2vBradley Martyn enters the chat 😂
@@JayTee713260 😂 Fr though. DJ will knock 260 out cold before he could blink. DJ is insanely fast.
It's not shocking to me whatsoever that he's an absolute monster in the gi. The pace he put on those dudes was relentless! Truly awesome to see the legend that is DJ tear it up on the mats.
I LOVE how he almost never pulled guard! He treated this like a real fight and almost always had the top position!!
I thought it was strange that everyone kept trying the same tactic. You would think after the 3rd guy, you would maybe try something else.
Its cool to see Matt Hume looking strong still.
@@dglesterhardunkichud7860'cause JJ guys are too focused on sitdowns and not enough takedowns
@@InvisibleHotdog Yea it’s the prevalence of sport jiu jitsu. It used to be based on real life situations. You would never pull guard on asphalt. That is a very good way to get yourself killed.
@@InvisibleHotdogyeaa you might as well force yourself to learn takedowns. Pulling guard isn’t realistic. Think bjj community would be better looked at if people didn’t rely on sitting down all the time.
Yeah, I’m all for grappling but guard pulling is the most pussy shit and makes grapplers look bad
If everyone approached gi grappling like he does, it would be way more popular for spectators. Always fighting to be on top, no stalling, constant pressure and hunting for submissions.
Hardly surprising that he did so well considering that he’s been beating up black belts for years in the cage, but still a lot of fun to watch.
The problem is that that style simply doesn't work at the elite level, unfortunately. You can tell his agility and conditioning were his main assets over his opponents -- and not necessarily the skillset. His opponents were expecting someone of a masters' division cadence, not his relatively ultra-high yet sustainable pace. It's a bit unfair for the others to have him in the masters division. He belongs in the adult division with the rest of the killers. Of course, he'd still do well there, but it wouldn't look so one-sided.
Agree
Have you watched the recent grand prix? Every match was exciting
@@anonymousreviewer169if he's 37 he's 37
@@anonymousreviewer169lol idk man he’s a retired mma fighter he’s fought against sum pretty gud grapplers wrestlers etc
He really is a super athlete. Mentally, physically and with toughness and all. MMA really seems to be pretty "simple" for him. And just the way he likes the challenge and complexity of the Gi is mindboggling to me. What a nightmare to meet on the mats for almost anybody.
He is the GOAT
@@benhallo1553tell Dana white that 😂
Shut down a whole weight class because of this monster lol
He’s the size of a 3rd grader. Bradley Marten would maul him.
DJ's passing game is no joke. Relentless, angles, imagine what it's like in the octagon with no gi slowing him down. Crazy.
As a small man, this guy is my hero. Just such a complete fighter and proves that technique can, and will, defeat power and size. Legend!
Same thoughts man. Same thoughts.
Not Bradley Martin he’s 260lbs
As a tall guy this man's my hero.
3444444
100% with you. I'm a small guy, too. Demetrious is my all time favorite role model for extremely elite all around skills.
Sometimes I wonder how can someone be so good. Like his ability to pass guard and keep going nonstop is just absolutely crazy. Almost everybody in this comment section has done bjj so you know how explosive and tiring these movements are and he just keeps going no problem! When they do the interview after each roll he speaks so clearly and shit. I wouldn't have been able to breath lol. Truly one of the best combat athletes we have ever witnessed
he had to be nerfed to 160cm to save every other weigh class and sport
@@metalface_villain 😂😂
yup, anyone who does bjj and competes will know how insane his movement is for that many rounds.
His name is mighty mouse thats how
The whole time I'd be like, "I'm grappling Mighty Mouse!"
That's the problem with him. You actually wouldn't be able to grapple him
He's an absolute legend this guy. He even got a YT channel where he chat with his subs and reply to messages and stuff. SUPER down to earth, you feel like you talk to a totally normal dude you met somewhere.
DJ is ridiculous about being heavy. He's so good at being heavy but also ready for movements. Heavy and fast at the same time. That's tough.
I like this kid, hope some day we can see him in MMA...i think he has the skills to become a UFC champion
Idk I think he might have to start in a different organization first like maybe in Asia.. I'm thinking One Championship he might be able to take a belt there
Naa I doub it , he is too short HE looks like a mouse a MIGHT MOUSE
@@Forsaken5SFEyou just fucked up the story dude he was in UFC before ONE
He has some skills, he would get destroyed in mma though.....
I think he can defend the belt a couple times too
Mighty's one of the most gifted athletes of all time. He can literally do it all.
Except play basketball
Aside from grabbing things from the top shelf
I thought this guy was a streamer?
@@checksoverstripes2498 oof
I don't know how you can prepare for someone like DJ. The speed, skill, stamina, toughness, his background is wrestling and it's showing. Absolute GOAT. To me he's the MMA GOAT, yes Anderson Silva, John Jones, GSP, Penn and many others are great, but DJ is just another level.
The intensity he kept up thru out all his matches is truly amazing
Matt Hume is such a legend👏🏻
I think it’s underrated how tiring 6 matches is. To be that fast in your 6th match shows his conditioning and his experience
His takedown defence is phenomenal, which really controls dynamic of the roll.
"Oh, imagine how it would be if you had signed to compete and DJ shows up in your bracket". That would be an honour, for sure. I would give my best and really don't mind losing to him. Its a once in a lifetime opportunnity to share the mats with a MMA legend.
His skill and quickness are just insane
His passing was fun to watch
Seriously. His transition speed is insane
Imma studying this footage Thats for sure🧐📖
DJ is truly the GOAT. There’s no fighter in any organization in any weight class as technical as Mighty Mouse. Just look at his transition, man goes from side control to full mount to arm bar back to full mount all in 3-4 seconds. It’s just insane when you add the fact all of his opponents feels like twice his size.
Man is the complete package.
Fr fr. But what’s the time stamp for this in the video?
His opponent was 2 inches and 10 pounds heavier lmao that isn’t twice his size. And it’s easy to move as fast as DJ when you weigh as much as a 3rd grader.
He is super fluid, clean, and fast in his guard passing. Fun to watch.
"How'd your match go?"
"The GOAT of mma was my first opponent...& my last" 💀🤣
That was amazing! Insane guard passing DJ! Crazy fit dude, with incredible agility. Can see his grips come from No-Gi / Wrestling, but for me it actually makes his style much more exciting to watch then most Gi fighters, who use grips mostly to just hold opponents. Well done mate!
4:48 even the other judges in the back was watching because it was so good 😂
One thing I love about Jiu Jitsu is it actually feels like you’re expressing yourself, like an artist. It’s called martial arts, it’s really martial science, but it has its moments.
This man is the real deal. Champion for so long in the top two Organizations in the world as well as still competing at the top testing himself in tournaments. Probably one of the best gamers as well, up there with Cyril Gane. He is the definition of hard work in everything he does, he excels.
Ooh didnt know cyril gane gamed too! does he have a channel like dj does
Cyril Gane what you mean by that?
First GI competition... WOW....that was absolutely brilliant, I loved the scrambles and the explosiveness, I think he is paving the route to conquer a new kingdom.
He's _very confident_ considering it's the lad's first ever tournament!!
Lol.
Gotta love Mighty he's like the smartphone of combat, does everything everywhere all of the time.
Always wondered what it would take for me to be interested in a gi match. Mighty Mouse is the answer.
Gotta love D.J. This man is a gamer. He is such a class act as well as one of the greatest martial artist in history. More people need to understand this man is one of the GOATS as well as just a great guy. Thx D.J.
Truly Embodies The Best At MMA
Great Wrestler
Great BJJ Expert
Great Boxer
Great Kickboxer
Great Muay Thai Fighters
Competition at the highest level He was born for Kombat
DJ's grappling is next level!!! I've always been impressed by his ability to scramble and defend takedown 💯💯💯
Man this is why he is the pound for pound best there ever lived.
My god...the fluidity in the sequence at around 8:19 onwards.
He basically went and out wrestled them. Not a single guard pull or gi-choke attempts.
7:34 Learning how to break basic grips at the tournament itself is so wholesome. ❤ Just speaks to how incredibly good of a wrestler Demetrious actually is.
Such a well rounded, well spoken, motivated guy. Everything he’s earned he’s worked hard for! He never gets cocky or over confident either. He has everything he deserved!
Man he’s so fast. His passing and pressure was awesome.
Such a humble inspirational man. I wish this man good health as long as he lives.
Daamn this felt like DJ's UFC career, mostly decisions but action pack!
In some of his passes he moves his feet so fast its like its been sped up😂
Cool to see the crowd smiling and enjoying it, wish I could’ve been there too
Esse cara é um dos maiores artistas marciais desse planeta. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Omg! I have never seen this man before! He is so good! It's almost as if he's the GOAT!
just the fact of thinking that you were the world champion must give you a super confident boost
Absolutely phenomenal. Mighty Mouse is a champion of life.
It's really cool to see a guys with such a big name not giving a single F about putting it on the line. Such a classy guy too.
He did gaf tho, that's why he's in masters 2 and not adult
What a fantastic video of the Mighty Mouse. Such high level stuff so fast. I had to slow things down and watch three times to appreciate. It was amazing.
DJ´s stamina and speed is out of this planet, as expected! Really enjoying watching him compete!
2:10 there’s no way buddy tried that on Demetrius Johnson 😂
He’s so creative and can miss lead you he’s just one of the best it’s ever been
The mighty mouse doing side quests and being successful. More power to this guy
Man is one of the most creative, elite strikers on the planet and is incredible at BJJ at the same time. At his size his technique was so flawless he was domination his larger opposition.This guy is the G.O.A.T combat sports athlete.
This is a virtual game in a real reality like Tekken or something like that what a GOAT 🐐 A true Master Class 🥋
After everything he's done in mma and now this he needs to be in the discussion for combat sports GOAT. Helluva performance
This guy is going places. Srsly, big ups for DJ. I wonder how the first guy in the bracket felt when he got DJ.
it would be a huge honor for him
Super psyched to watch DJ's jiu jitsu arch. He truly is the goat in my book.
*arc
arque@@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke
It's so cool how you can see how proud his son is of dad at the end of the video👏🏽
Outstanding jiujitsu. A lot of wrestlers and mma guys absolutely suck in the gi. They just takedown and stall.
This guy has guard passes, a good guard, and submissions.
He’s really solid. Very proud of him
Great training with him at American Top team in Henderson! Awesome energy and really cool dude.
is that who that was?
Dude is the greatest fighter of our generation, to lose to him would be an honor
The side quest joke fits this so much better than any other scenario
I’m not surprised he performed like this!
This guy seems pretty quick and athletic, he might do well if he tries other martial arts too
😭😭
what a best so nice to see you compete like this!
Absolutely awesome!!!
This guy has potential, if he trains hard he can be a great fighter one day
Rapazzzzz é outro nível hein??? Não para... rápido! técnico.... gás infinito! O cara pode ir na categoria adulto.... master a galera não aguenta não kkkkkk
He is doing so much. Love to see it
Props To DJ soo much success yet so humble. Keep rising brother
Super athlete. His pace is crazy the whole match, and to go through the amount of matches back to back and still keep that pace....incredible.
mighty mouse at masters brown is craaazy lol
It’s just awesome to watch you sir.!! Like blows my mind how amazing your movements are and how technical you are as well it’s just an honour to watch you compete in the ufc, one , a this jujitsu gi tourney .! Your amazing Dj Mighty Mouse
Dang he fast as fuck
Can't wait to see the video released titled "Demetrious Johnson chokes out Bradley Martyn" 😂
A definite master of Multiple Martial arts. DJ is just simply superhuman
He has always been one of my favorites! Really enjoyed this I came across this man streaming on twitch playing video games back in the day Mighty Mouse can do anything very impressive.
Mighty Mouse sandbaggin in the brown belt lol
Totally!
How is he sandbaggin? Because he was in the ufc???? Competeing in the gi is different and more competitive. He also went against full time bjj brown belts that don’t do mma. Mighty Mouse is just built different and is a beast. He’s right where he needs to be. Can’t wait to see him get better at gi.
@@mikhailbotello15 I think theyre joking, gi is different and sandbagging in brown belt is basicly impossible lol. That said, ofcourse he has a physical advantage in terms of stamina, explosivity, nutrition etc. over most these guys who have normal jobs and train on the side.
This young man looks like he’ll do great in mma one day.
The coolest thing about DJ for me is that he’s never been in it for fame and money, he genuinely explores the world of professional martial arts to look for his toughest possible opponent.
DJ is like Goku always looking for a challenge.
He has the calmness of a person thats been under the bright lights of gi jiu jitsu many times
So good to see MM killing it and smashing all the guard pullers. Very entertaining!
What a beast DJ is… didn’t seem bothered by the gi at all that passing was relentless
Mighty inspires me everytime, a true GOAT in MMA!
This guy is still a savage and a true sportsman at what he does. Take notes people stay humble and god is good !!
LOVE this dude, such a great Champ and class act!
What an awesome athlete and person. The GOAT
To everyone that got a chance to step on the mat with this legend…Congratulations, that’s a story to tell and all the guys have him a great fight. Dope video.
Mighty Mouse is a freak!!!! Whatta maniac. Loved watching this. I Wish we could see more mma fighters competing in Gi more often.
Thank you for this. Mighty Dee is a star man. I didn't know he was this good.
