Demetrious Mighty Mouse Johnson has battled the fearsome champion Adriano Moraes twice now, exchanging knockouts. It's almost time for their third and final battle. How do you think the rubber match will end up?
#mma #demetriousjohnson
Is this even humanly possible? What an epic fight and conclusion.
And also what a wonderful commentary.
might mouse might not be human. That man has done some other worldly things in his fighting Career. Check the mightbar for a taste
I always feel that fighters in ONE Championship tend to look like their moving much faster than those in other promotion. Maybe its their cameras.
Hydration and looserPED regs probably
@@MrTooEarnestOnline If that's the case, can't really argue with the results
In KSW they use the "ripped to shreds" filter, very nice.
ONE / eastern promotions tend to have more strikers and they’re smaller, blisstering
popular One fc fights are usually the lighter weight classes
That ko was so damn smooth
Dear Lord!!!!!!!!! The amount of athleticism between them 2 is something to behold! Wow! I mean what a fight!!!! Straight up warriors with super natural skills…. Im still in awe at ever single attack and d from BGOTH! Unreal!!! That over hand set up off the faint and was able to enter his magnetic wheel house, ya dig and followed him down and backwards as like he knew how many steps to take to land that power knee off the recoil of him bouncing off at fence! Man he gotz to be concussed from that… his ability to decreese the surface area of at nuke knee so well placed and right on the tip of at knee bone behind blistrering speed and power behind it packet with explosiveness = lights the ufck out jack!!!!!! I cant imagine how many back n forths again that brain housing group and jello jiggle it mustuh been doin…. mercy sakes alive!!! djyall see at jokers face when the ref raised his hand? Like raw hamburger meat!!! but the bridge uh that honker up through his frontal lobe looks jacked!!!!!!!! WHOA!!!!!!!!!!! Gyatdawg!!!!!!!
It was so perfect you could think DJ was playing a videogame
That is impressive, what is even more impressive that it wasnt just the KO, he was smooth like he predicted every move his opponent would make, that was not a lucky knee, to paraphrase batman in the dark Knight returns. "This isn't a cage, its an operating table, and DJ is the Surgeon." But again you are so right was so smooth, was awesome to see the break down
@@nonamewhorehey7174 Both are incredibly talented, this trilogy is up there with any other trilogy in terms of importance to me.
@@zGJungle I too have seen some greats and i can agree with that statement with certainty and with total ease and confidence that top 3 for sure holds water… and thats not going lightly cuz ive seen MANY!!!! Unreal Im on my 3rd go this so good and this break Oscar level isht!!!!!!!! GETEMUP HAWSE! YOU READING THESE??? YOU KILLT THIIS ITS SO ENTERTAINING AND SO GREATLY INFORMED!!!! WELL DONE SIR!!!!!!!
DJ is just a genius , hes the equivalent of a grand master of chess but in MMA. Quick witted, adaptive, impecable reaction.
The speed at which these guys make split-second adjustments is absolutely astounding!
Incredible. The excellence of both of their fighting deserves this in depth analysis. You’ve outdone yourself and holy hell I had forgotten how good he was. Wonderful that MM finally found someone truly worthy of him as well
I love it when you do these episodes and I am so so happy you put the love on DJ. A legend of the game that doesn't get the shine he deserves.
He's number 1 imo. He's just been to active and dominant on so many aspects and stages worldwide to be denied that. Not to mention how long he has been at or near the top.
WOW Moares had damn inhuman reactions on that first fight. It seemed he really did start overthinking the feints, and eventually dedicated himself to a punch that would get him countered. Great breakdown and two crazy skilled fighters
Love how suddenly everyone likes him. He could have used that support 5+ years ago. Great breakdown btw.
Don't underestimate DJ's impact on the sport! I was introduced to MMA because I watched him stream pubg!
better late than never
I like following a bit of MMA on UA-cam, I first saw him about 6 months ago, prior to that I had never even heard of him. I can only assume UFC never really promoted the lightweight divisions and UA-camrs just use what is available when promoting their own channels. I follow DJ now though and watch his channel. He is retiring and I think he is happy, I don't think he needs money or anything. Going out with all his faculties intact and financially secure is as much as anyone in the sport can hope for. He will be remembered as one of the all time greats but it might take a few more years for the legend to grow.
Blame the UFC (not entirely but at least a bit). They just didn't do their job at promoting him, while One FC does, so it's easier for people to praise him.
I don’t buy that “no one likes him” ever. No one wants to pay 90 for lower weight class main events. Still is the case.
If i had commentary like this for each match, or a level of understanding close to this video, id watch mma all the time. Incredible detail here

This is one of those weird fights where I'm rooting for DJ all the way, but would still be happy if Moraes won. I'd love to see DJ leave on top, but allowing Moraes to build his own legacy would also be amazing, and the fact that there's so much mutual respect between the two makes it easy to accept either winner.
4:10 such crazy moves from both fighters
Mighty Mouse's KO was poetry in motion
That wasn't a fight, it was a masterpiece from 2 artists collaborating.
Good Lord watching their reaction times, even in slow motion, is awe-inspiring.
This is probably the best breakdown I have ever watched. I watched both matches and of course I missed all of the key elements that you elegantly explained in this video. Thanks for the great work.
Ok, so the last fight needs to end with each of them throwing flying knees like a movie final blow scene, right?😂
Rocky style freeze frame ending!
Mine vs Kiryu real
One of the most beautiful knee KOs ever imo. Perfectly timed and perfectly set up
DJ is such a student of the art...MANY arts, in fact. Not only is he so highly accomplished, he behaves in & out of the cage with class, as a professional adult should!
Yea, he acts like he conquered the world at only 125lbs.
@@irishamerican4558 Regarding everything 125 lbs & under, he did. (HA)
Yea(HA) you sound like a DJlicker. (HA)
Superb analysis as always. Quite similar to Lawrence Kenshin's recent feature of DJ. Anything to shine the light on such an underappreciated master is awesome 👊🙏
THE REAL GOAT! And an amazing dude! DJ!!!
That fade back right straight was about as textbook as you could ask for. I think you were onto something about attacking the knee that knocked him out. Though not as an expression of anger, but strategy. Causing damage to to his opponents primary weapon as a method of reducing the threat.
Not going to lie I thought it was about his revenge on the ufc but this was a great breakdown.
Both of their fights displayed some of the highest skill ever seen in a cage
Moraes vs DJ is the answer to DJ vs Bones Jones. Moraes is long and strong with a very good ground game to complement his varied striking. I know the match isn't one to one but it's a great stand in
I have watched combat sports going all the way back to the 80's as a kid. Mighty Mouse is by far my favorite fighter to watch and just be in awe...
Still the craziest end to a fight I've ever seen. It looks like something straight out of a video game.
4:30 one of the most skillful exchanges I've ever seen
Demetrius Johnson:
-Longest consecutive Title Defense in the UFC
-Equally fierce in Grappling and Striking
-Excellent Wrestling
-Nice guy who doesn't trash talk
Dana White be like "uH hE'S nOt tHe gOaT ConNoR mcgReGor iS"
Im still kinda new to mma, can someone explain to me why DJ is considered the goat by many people? What fights of him should i rewatch? Top 5's are welcome
He is considered the goat because he is pretty much the perfect MMA fighter, like in a computer game where you have bars for each talent in MMA, most folks have 4/10 in say grappling, 7/10 striking, 6/10 ring IQ etc etc.
DJ has pretty much 10/10 in every category.
All of his fights are worth watching really, problem is he was so much better than the rest for so long that people took him for granted, and many didn't even care about him back in the day because he is small, as stupid as that sounds...
Top 5 is a bit subjective. Demetrius is in the GOAT talk due to his records and the way he fought. He has KOs, submissions, and he fights to the last second. That's not an exaggeration DJ holds the record for latest finish by getting a sub at 4:59 of the fifth round.
He also holds the UFC record for 11 consecutive title defenses. And you could make the argument the decision loss to Cejudo could have gone his way. Yes, Cejudo had ground control but many feel he did not do much offensively with it. Considering DJ got a TKO on him the first time they fought, can't blame him for sticking to the plan.
My five to watch would probably be
Ray Borg
1st Cejudo fight
Dominic Cruz (even though DJ loss, his performance against a pre-injury Cruz is something to study)
Horiguchi ( an absolute clinic)
And then I would combine Moraes and the Rodtang hybrid fight (he actually did better in the kickboxing then any one expected him to. Especially against a beast like Rodtang)
I thought the win over DJ was a fluke but your breakdown really opened my eyes.
DJ was used to other rules and didnt expect a knee to the head when downed... in UFC this isnt allowed... So most probably from years in there, his mind did rule this option out and that was his downfall in the 1st fight. At least I think so.
@@Amatsuichi very plausible, bro
Awesome commentary man, Now I gotta watch the next match.
My favorite part is when he checks on Moraes & hugs him. Mighty Mouse is my favorite MMA fighter - his mind never stops working.
It's very obvious you're getting sponsored by ONE. But I love this kind of content, fighter analysis as opposed to looking back at great fighters in hindsight.
Great job to all writers and analysts
I mean I literally marked that there was an advertisement in the video, which is what YT requires anyways. I def don't think I'm trying to trick anyone there haha But I've never made a video on something I don't want to just to make money. Has to be a fighter or fight that I really want to break down first, then me and the org works out a good fight to advertise with it.
@@TheModernMartialArtist sorry dude, didn't mean it as a slight. Focus on the compliment, not my bad comment. I love your content, and I love the shift you guys made the last couple of months. Keep up the great work
No problemo and thanks!
Damn that was a superb fight !! The striking techniques coming up from such a grappler were nothing more than brilliant !
Plus both seemed to conserve a nice and sportive spirit which is always pleasant
DJ is the greatest, with GSP, both clean fighters without juice, respectful.
Great fight and man, DJ is the goat but Moraes deserves great credit, he's really good too. I'd tone down the similes and drama a little though, I enjoyed it more when the footage was for supporting the commentary and a bit more analytical.
I've made a few of those videos lately but YT doesn't push them! Go to my channel and check them out if you want to see more technical stuff that the algorithm never pushed. I'll never stop making those but they do get missed a lot by subs, even if they hit the notifications bell. That said I think this still has more technical stuff than 90 percent of these kinds of videos lol
@@TheModernMartialArtist Hey, the man himself! I'll go do that, I have been a big fan of yours for a while but this is just my opinion. Really appreciate what you do!
Saw their second bout live in Singapore. But they were both so fast that everything was a blur. It's literally insane how quick their reflexes are when you slow down the footage and add commentary. Truly amazing.
DJ is my hero! Props to Moraes for putting up such a tremendous fight 💪🏻
The greatest fight break down channel in the history of UA-cam. Brilliance everytime.
Incredible KO. Beautiful right then the patience to get the perfect opportunity to throw the knee and the cherry on top was he just walked away even though Moraes was still on his knees. Once that knee landed he knew it was over.
DJ really outclassed Moraes in the third fight. Cleared him the whole way through
The quality of this video was just as amazing as the fighter’s skills!
Adding more volume and layers to your faints against opponents with insane reaction speed is the way to overload them mentally. Use their own strengths against them.
"His opponents are like a spider caught in a web" 😂. Thought that was funny but overall great content 👌🏻
Somewhere Ben Askren is watching this and smiling.
DJ is awesome, but his opponent really is equally impressive.
His opponent is way bigger.
The way MM knew his combo would end the fight is something very very rare.
Can’t wait for the Trilogy! My boy Might Mouse is gonna pull through.
EPIC video, you tell such a great story making already intense and high-level fights feel even more nail-biting. I have been watching your videos for years and they keep getting better and better
such a good fighter breakdown you are really good at this!
i dont know if youve made many mma videos before, but im so happy youve included my faveourite sport in your analysis. I dont really watch boxing but I still love your videos on boxing.
DJ is one of those greats that makes watching his fights in slow motion a most to any martial arts enthusiast, really highlights the ART part of the name
The speed at which both these guys react and calculate is actually terrifying, even in slow-mo they seem fast
Man! That is art right there! much respect to those 2 warriors!
7:00 that little one-legged hop moraes does to escape the takedown is mind-boggling athleticism
Even better than your usual very good videos. The pauses to explain the high level exchanges during tense moments didn't lose any of the fight momentum for me, very exciting !
Wow, that was artistry. Both what I saw of the fight and the video.
This was a great break down and that Knee was VENGANCE!
How men can be this small is just astounding to me.
Anyone, I hope DJ us making bank over there my man deserves it, he is one of the GOATS of MMA without a doubt.
When he is moving and being loose and creative he is damn near unstoppable, Moraes is unreal aswell, has good reach (almost three inches over DJ) and is very well rounded.
YOOO DID YOU JUST GET ME HYPE FOR A YET TO COME SEQUEL? THANK U BRO HOLY SHIT
Great fight, even better commentary!!!
It's like Demetrious got tired or lazy over the years and then in the third round he woke up and remembered: "Oh yeah...right... I'm Demetrious Johnson, the greatest fighting genius to grace the octagon - I have boundless creativity."
Moraes looks sooo much bigger than DJ, like he is a different wieght class
12:01 this celebration 😂😂😂😂
Great work showing both they work
This video of Demetrius Johnson is my inspiration for quitting weed. The last moment where he follows him for the flying knee? Is when I realized I can go to another level of consciousness if I quit. Yes this is a certain cerebral level, but it’s not as sharp physically. I want to enter that heightened physical sharpness like DJ.
Amazing analysis!
I know for a fact mighty mouse would be ecstatic about that bruce lee comparison. great vid, mad i missed the actual fight now
Time for an updated version of this video that includes the rubber match. Some breakdown is def needed about the clinch war those two had...
That knee looked like something out of a movie
Cant wait for the trilogy
Such a great channel you break down fights perfectly. Cheers from Canada 🍻
Amazing breakdown! I learn so much from your channel
Those where some amazing fights. True mastery of the arts by both of them.
i love this channel. the breakdowns and analysis are the very best in the business.
Brorroooo I love how your channel is growing. You deserve all the subscribers and all the attention you’re getting darg. Also when are you going to make more videos on the k1 tournament bro
This month! There will be one a month until that arc is finished off.
@@TheModernMartialArtist let’s go brother. Take your time with all your uploads jsut keeping us updated will have everyone running back to your channel. Wish you the best bro
"Like a spider caught in a web" :P
Hi, could you please do a video on what aggressive defence is both the concept and the practical with examples, thank you. 👍
Definitely one of the greatest walk off knockouts of all time
Man, just before I was about to comment on adaptation and broken rhythms, you mentioned Bruce Lee. Great video as always.
"One of Mighty Mouse's greatest strengths is everything"
Great commentary man had me locked in
My goodness, you could not script that first fight any better
Both great fighters , we don’t see those skills on ufc in many fights
@@JordoniusGames you are plenty right my friend thanks for the observation
So excited, such a good fight and both such great fighters. I look forward to it!
this video and your analysis of the fights is incredible!
"A spider caught in a web" 😝
Demetrio Johnson = A Grand Champion inside the ring/octagon as well as outside.
How to beat great reaction time? Give them too much to react to. Man I love this level of fighting so much.
This fight was a picture perfect performance with feints from DJ
DJ fan here... but your narration was fantastic!!
Mighty Mouse is arguably the best MMA fighter of all time. The UFC hated him because he didn't talk shit, was always respectful and non-dramatic and they tried to smear his reputation because they felt he wasn't marketable.
Surely more mma from ufc and one champ, love this video so much 🤩
Demetrious Johnson's the undisputed MMA Flyweight GOAT and one of MMA's undisputed P4P all-time greats
Are you still planning on making a full technique breakdown on the Mighty Mouse?
It'd be the longest video he'd ever make.
Great video as always. Would love to see you do more MMA breakdowns
More mma breakdowns please
Feels good to watch fighters leave the UFC and dominate. Please make a video on Dwight Muhammad Qawi, thank you.
Such high level fighting 😮
DJ is a true professional in the way he conducts himself both in and out of the ring. Pity the cringy shit talkers with the stunted emotional maturity get the spotlight. Luckily, history records wins and title defences and not shit like 'ya wife's is in me DM's'.
