@Ketchupdodge He beat Henry Cejudo who has went up to bantamweight and beat some of the best guys that ever fought there. I don’t think you can discredit him saying he hasn’t fought good competition
@@listenup7284 he wasn't training full time. He was working construction and training two times a week at the time. His head coach convinced him to stop working and focus on mma.
@@watkinsjames82 always mind blows me how someone can say mighty mouse is pound for pound, don't get me wrong height means nothing if the smaller dude has the experience but let's say Jon Jones Vs mighty mouse, he doesn't even stand a chance , weight and height come into play when skill level is matched
@@joby2174 Essentially DJ was too fucking good so the UFC said they couldn't promote him because he was so dominant it made fights uninteresting. Also that was on top of him being a nice dude who doesn't talk trash, which rarely makes you rich.
My sister passed 2 years ago, we were the closest of 4 siblings, our parents weren't there growing up and our 2 older siblings weren't really around so it was just us growing up. I still can't believe she's gone, I'm still struggling to live through this.
@@ryanplummer448It'll take time for sure. It never goes away, just gets easier to live with. I hope you continue to be ok man, make sure take care of yourself and do grieve/take a moment whenever you need. 🙏💛
I think letting go of ALL of that pressure is a good thing. Often times overthinking/overstressing is a very costly burden. Of course training and staying in shape is part of the job but min/maxing the literal life out of life is exhausting and I think after a point you really are just better off taking a step back and reassessing things. Always wish DJ the best. Man is a legend and a truly great representative of the sport in every way.
I love DJ he is so fascinating and such a great down to earth to dude absolute gem of a person and that isn't including what he has done in the octagon.
From what I’m going through in life right now this is exactly what I needed to hear today. God bless you Joe Rogan and god bless you DJ. Thank you for a new “angle” 📐 at life
How can you not respect that man and everything he's accomplished? He's a true role model. When I show my kids DJ's videos I tell them he's one of the few people that truly inspire me to be a better person.
Mighty Mouse is the NUMBER ONE pound for pound best fighter of all time. His resume is undeniable. Funny how people throw around these other names but forget about the real GOAT. Absolutely adore everything about him.
Never really got any motivation from Yt clips, but this one finally got me to go out and do cardio at the gym. Thanks DJ & Joe, this clip helped me out in a big way.
I understand exactly what he means, when my sister passed it’s like I lost track of time. It didn’t feel relevant to me anymore, just the concept of life in its entirety mattered to me and how I spend my life living it
DJ still in my G.O.A.T list. He had done so many things for the sport of MMA, but he still ignored by the casual fans and Dana. In the 2nd fight with Adriano; he proved he is the GOAT
DJ Love ya...Miss ya....Baby GOAT....I personally want to say this to you Mr. Rogan, thank for not interrupting, and letting your guest speak, it is so helpful and allows us to see the real person...Now get back to work...Love ya Joe...
I went through a similar Awakening when my sister died. There is something about losing a loved one that was far too young that makes you realize what is truly important in life.
What impressive insight to share and so inspiring to hear the progress someone can make even at his age and after achieving so much. Perfectionism can be so helpful but so destructive too and it’s a good message to be aware of that.
So true. So many people chase this dream and rather give up or they don't appreciate each day and the present. We all will die, do what makes you happy and enjoy life
I love this guy pound for pound and that ain't much he's probably best fighter ever. He's so down to earth here, he just doesn't seem like a pro fighter. And that attitude will calm his life as I am sure he found out. Great clip.
It’s called “Growth”. Sometimes it takes a person a lifetime to almost grow and others bloom earlier. The hope is that regardless of when it happens, we should all want to Grow. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that we have changed for the better. We are all gonna die at some point and hopefully in the course of our lives, we grow. I’m wishing Everyone Growth, Happiness and a Full Life.
It's good that DJ is letting the steam off. The pressure was good when he was younger. It made him the GOAT. Now that he's older he gets to reap to fruits of his labor and do the things he loves.
DJ is one of my all-time favorite fighters - not just for his accomplishments and entertaining fights, but also as a person. He's always been cool, casual, doesn't use sh%t-talking and trolling or WWE antics, doesn't bad mouth families and people, very articulate and highly intelligent. I like guys like Chael, Colby, the Diaz Brothers, etc. too, but it doesn't mean that I can't like something different than that. I'm happy for him that he's continuing to have success in MMA and life.
Dude is a goat and when he is done fighting he can easily have a career streaming on Twitch. He already has a large fanbase on his Twitch channel already.
Ive personally engaged with Mighty mouse on his channel several times. He is truly a good dude and about as normal as one could be given the heights he's reached. To me, he's the GOAT
“ Happiness is perceiving and dealing with reality on reality’s terms“ Basically the attitude of every day can suck and I’m OK with that because it won’t affect me at my core
*This is the type of guy* you hear speak in a confrontation watch his body language and think "I could take him" Only to receive a life changing colosal beat down 😆
Mighty Mouse… a hall of famer the UFC has tried to erase. 🐐
Just like CM Punk
@Ketchupdodge no competition or was he just so much better than the rest?
Have never understood that. How have they tried doing that? He did beat everyone but did not get the numbers. So they traded him for Chandler or was it Ben🤔. Win win no?
@Ketchupdodge thats not even a argument, ufc aims to get good fighters..
@Ketchupdodge He beat Henry Cejudo who has went up to bantamweight and beat some of the best guys that ever fought there. I don’t think you can discredit him saying he hasn’t fought good competition
Probably one of the classiest smartest fighters in the UFC. Great advice.
Against Dominic Cruz he looked like an idiot. I'm not really sure weight had too much to do with it.
@@listenup7284 he wasn't training full time. He was working construction and training two times a week at the time. His head coach convinced him to stop working and focus on mma.
@@danawhitesneckfat1706 Right I'm sure that was the reason. Always an excuse like TJ dillashaw.
@@listenup7284 there's pictures of him at construction sights lol. He also said this during his first JRE visit. But hey, let's listen to you lmao
@@danawhitesneckfat1706 he also lost to Henry cehudo and some dude at one championship but yeah lets pretend he has anything in other champions.
I don't think I've seen Joe be THAT engaged in a conversation in a while. Such a good episode!

he never stops being entertaining
He main evented the least selling PPV in UFC history so I don’t know about that.
@@colin6603measuring entertainment by ppv is pretty embarrassing lol
Sad to see the UFC pretty much remove this guy from the records they never talk about him. Definitely in contention for the G.O.A.T title
Why did the UFC do that to him? Do you know?

My sister died at 20 year's old when I was 16. It destroyed my mother for a loooong time. Still I see her struggle over 10 years later.
Sorry to hear man, couldn’t imagine losing my two younger sisters I’m 21 and they are 4 and I’ve never felt so protective over any people in my life
It does get easier but it never goes away. 💚
My sister passed 2 years ago, we were the closest of 4 siblings, our parents weren't there growing up and our 2 older siblings weren't really around so it was just us growing up. I still can't believe she's gone, I'm still struggling to live through this.

I never forget this man who fights fiercely in UFC Octagon.. God bless Mighty Mouse.
100%! This man is a gentleman, scholar and absolute beast of an athlete who is truly a ferocious, terrifying fighter.

You can tell the respect Joe has for DJ the way he listens an pays close attention DJ is 100% on of the 🐐 of MMA
An emotionally present fighter is always the absolute best athlete
Same as GSP
Explain Jon Jones then
Mighty Mouse is the most under respected champion of all time
The fuck is happening with these bot replies to OP?

So much humility and wisdom, a truly great example of a champion.
From what I’m going through in life right now this is exactly what I needed to hear today.

Thank you for a new “angle” 📐 at life
Nicholas I hope you overcome whatever you are facing at the moment and are in an even better situation when all is said and done. Keep your head up.
Keep your head up bro. Every day is a new opportunity.
This dude's the real Goat that nobody is talking about
I already was a DJ fan but now I just want to have a beer with the guy and talk about life. He’s the best ever

A little guy like him can’t be considered the goat. He’s a dwarf.
And he never needed steroids! Khabib retired the same year Russia got banned from the Olympics!
Never really got any motivation from
Yt clips, but this one finally got me to go out and do cardio at the gym. Thanks DJ & Joe, this clip helped me out in a big way.
Pain is part of the human existence... we will all lose someone will love, and we will all die eventually.
I have a new respect for Mighty Mouse. Seems very down to earth and genuine.
One of the best to ever do it.
Great to hear that he has a healthy way of dealing with all of this ! Such a Great guy
I understand exactly what he means, when my sister passed it’s like I lost track of time. It didn’t feel relevant to me anymore, just the concept of life in its entirety mattered to me and how I spend my life living it

Thank you for being real DJ
What a cool guy. I like him even more after this interview
So relatable. When you laughing you forget all your problems anyway. Who cares if the situations perfect, it doesn't have to be.
I’m so proud of this guy he’s a true living legend

Ur a true 🐐
DJ is a great person. He is an amazing role model for the upcoming fighters.
I fucking love this dude 😂 not only is he one of the most underrated ufc fighter his yt is actually really entertaining
I can listen to DJ all day, he makes so much sense, massive respect!
I went through a similar Awakening when my sister died. There is something about losing a loved one that was far too young that makes you realize what is truly important in life.
As someone once said, no one has ever been on their deathbed wishing they’d worked more. Demetrious is amazing both inside and outside the cage.
What a gentleman, scholar and absolute beast of an athlete who is truly a ferocious, terrifying fighter.
Thank you Mighty Mouse for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. I appreciate this man
DJ is the greatest! Such an enjoyable podcast, really good.
