Love this. Beautiful review/breakdown. I know a lot of us repeat this a lot: Dan Hardy is the best at these breakdowns
It can’t be repeated enough Alex
Never heard that before 😆😆
In addition to Rodtang reading DJ's knee, countering with the sweep, and DJ countering the sweep by making the brilliant adjustment to land on his right foot, Rodtang read DJ was countering the sweep by righting himself and Rodtang was trying to free his left hand from DJ's right wrist tie in order to unleash a smoking left hook. DJ read that and countered by keeping his right wrist tie in place, killing the optimum timing for Rodtang's left hook-right hook combo. Rodtang countered DJ's right wrist tie with Forward pressure and balance disruption, which DJ fought with a left arm overhook to Rodtang's head. Rodtang's right hand sought the Muay Thai plum, but DJ countered that with a wrestling left shoulder pin, but Rodtang used that position to apply pressure to DJ's balance that eventually freed Rodtang's left hand to at last fire the left hook...
...which DJ ( having sensed and correctly reading the intentions of Rodtang's attacks and counters ) deftly ducked. Then? For good measure? DJ slipped the Rodtang right hook follow up hook too.
This all happened in literally 3-4 seconds.
Thats why people like them are GOATs, and we're not. There's levels to this.
Well, the thing is, they didn't consciously think about doing any of that, it's all reactions from accumulated experience with general gameplan in mind and overt reads being made
That comment is goat stuff in itself
@@JasonTodd339 more accurately...got this from sports performance psychology...their minds are using a combination of extensive high level experience with this and similar experiences to predict what's being done now, what they can do to negate it, and what comes next combined with crazy fast subtle and overt real time calculations to do what we see. They're simultaneously using what European style psychologists call Crystallized Intelligence and Fluid Intelligence...which is only part of what my ancestors uncovered millennia ago. Nowadays muuuuch later one of the terms we use for it is "hekima ya akili na mwili"..."wisdom of mind and body".
The takedown was beautiful. Slippery level change after the forced aggression. I wish I had been into fighting as a kid. It's so satisfying
It is a cool sport for nerds tbh and i don't mean it in a bad way so much to obsess over
Love these breakdowns! Can’t wait to see some more. I know you’re extremely busy, but you had started breaking down classic fights at one point, do you plan on continuing that some day?! These are always amazing!
"Extremely" lovely" breakdown as usual Mister Hardy.
Fury vs Ngannou might work in a similar format. Fury specifically expressed interest in mixed rules against Ngannou after he retires from boxing
I'm a huge Fury fan but I'd be more interested in just a boxing match with elbows, kicks, knees and MMA gloves in a cage. That ruleset is interesting enough and favors Ngannou. As soon as you add wrestling, my man's getting dumped on his head FAST.
One FC has the worst refs. I watched a couple of events, and the refs always stood way too close to the action. For example, in one event, a fighter straight up bumped into the ref trying to cut off the cage. Also, because most fighters in One FC can't grapple, they stand fights up even when wrestling/grappling is 51% of MMA. Like if they don't want people grappling, they should just stick to Muay Thai fights. They clearly have a lot more skilled competition there than they do in MMA.
DJ really is the greatest flyweight of all time. Nobody comes close! Not only with his astonishing UFC title reign but the risks he's taking overseas are really cementing his legacy as one of the best to do it. DJ vs. Cejudo, Figgy or Moreno in Asia is $$$.
Whoever had the idea to Match Rod Tang vs DJ w/ these Rules deserves alot Credit 👏 This was excellent Match making and the slight change in Rules made it anybody Fight..Well done Mighty DJ
Not 50/50. DJ wins 9/10 times
@Notwwd And put Rodtang in mma, this is what happens. If it’s a 50/50 between Muay Thai and Mma DJ is always going to have that advantage, he just needs to survive R1.
@@xRhamnusia Make the rounds longer. Since Rsotang starts first, he might have more time to finish DJ. Either that or change the cage to ropes
Reallt lookin forward to this one
Such an awesome show put on by One
Didn’t even catch the fight and I’m enthralled with the review. Dan always catches the little things, like Rodtang’s trip attempt.
Love your work sir. Must say I miss your voice during the UFC events. What you got going on with this channel is fantastic. I wish you all the very best of health and wealth
i think we should give dj the benefit of the doubt. im not an expert but it seems to me like he could just have his foot on the cage and not actually grab it. at least it doesnt look like theres a lot of force beeing exerted on the fence.
Well Done! The master analyst!
This is ace, I hope we see more of these in the future Dan.
The reason DJ was engaging in the first round and not being more elusive is because he can lose a percentage of his pay for avoiding the fight. Pretty sure 2 guys lost 20% each during their fight for not engaging.
felt like he threw a few techniques he could use as a setup in the next round, showed he was willing to hold his ground and crack which after his kick he dips to the back, something Rodtang hadnt seen since DJ was clinching from that range not circling under him.
Maybe. Also if he throws nothing he will get no respect from Rodtang and he can just start teeing off. Potential pay cut or not, I think throwing a bit will help get through the round.
Love the analysis while watching the actual fight. We can actually See what Dan is thinking. More like this pls
Such a great analytical mind. Great editing. Nice and calm. Love your videos Dan
"Cheeky little Mouse" Lmao! 😂
there;s nothing like eating lunch and watching a dan hardy breakdown. ONE championship would be a great home for you Dan
Really intense fight. Glad they can make stuff like this work out. Two small warriors just going to bat against each other
I need that hat
Hey! Why didn't you make analysis of Pitbull and McKee?
Great breakdown. Wrestling is so dominant but fuck I hate it lmao
I'm diggin wut one has goin on love watching kickboxing n Muay Thai along with MMA
BEST IN THE GAME HANDS DOWN UFC COMMENTATING HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE YOU LEFT PLEASE KNOW THE REAL ONES MISS YOU
Dan could probably beat Doug Demuro at breaking down cars too
Yea baby thats what im talking about lets gooooo! I been asking for some fight review
I dont even wait on these videos.. I just hit 'like' right away
Gamesmanship = Cheating... ok got it.
It would be amazing if Rodtang started training mma now he could really shake up the ufc flyweight division if he got his ground work up
There were no angles to show that DJ's toes were actually hooking the cage. I see his foot using it as a wall to leverage himself, but no hooking. At first, he had his toes go into the fence, but there was nothing to show it was being held there once a few seconds started to go off the clock. During this time, no one was moving or progressing anywhere. Remember, the only toes to actually protrude into the fence were the ring toe and pinky toe. With those little toes, it's nearly impossible to hold on to anything. DJ wouldn't have tried to go out there and do something like that on purpose. He's not that type of guy.
Great points. I think Dan made too much of the toes in the fence
You're wrong there bro its pretty obvious that hes hooking the fence in order to stay on rodtangs back
it was giving him extra leverage that would've made the position more difficult to hold otherwise. Look at DJs position on the back at 11:26 it would be much more easy for Rodtang to push him over if DJ wasnt grabbing the fence
My favourite channel atm
I was wondering where this topic was!! DJ did great!
Next time they should do MMA in round 1 👍
Yes Dan.... You bloody mind reader.
Maybe under One rules you can put your toes in the fence? lol.
Cheeky mouse indeed
I was waiting for this one! Thanks Dan!
Thank you, Master Outlaw. The best in the business.
Was really looking foward to this 2 artists worthy of the name
9:08 Jack Slack mentioned that the southpaw stance had to do with the wrestling defense, don't remember the details.
I think it’s more about what is most comfortable for the fighter. Often fighters with a wrestling background will be more comfortable wrestling from southpaw and striking from orthodox.
Matt Hughes used to switch depending on his gameplan. Strong hand forward, as opposed to striking arts which generally has the strong had is chambered.
Comment for the algorithm
Dan Hardy is a freaking legend
Cheeky little mouse 🐭
beasts, all around
It was like a old school mma fight
That ref was in it 😳 lol
Up the Dan 💪
Knew this was coming I knew you were interested in that one!
@11:25 that is amazing stuff to be honest, reminiscent of Cowboy’s little sneaky glove grab head kick.
One problem for Muay fighters in general with these kind of setups is that the sport isn't really setup for 1st round KOs. They're usually expected to go a couple of rounds before they start actually trying to finish. It might be more competitive with an early round kickboxer/boxer KO artist although I would say one strong point for Muay is the excellent clinchwork.
Love the post fight analysis
This was great and I think it would be awesome to see more of these fight reviews, especially for the Capitan vs Akimoto fight
Dan you and your crew are truly the best. Much love brother man!!
Great spot with DJ's toes in the fence hahaha
Dans Breakdowns are the best!!!!
DJ showed how great he truely is in this one
Love Muay Thai but MMA beats all
I bow to your superior knowledge, but I gotta disagree with the emphasis you put on the toes in the fence, he wasn't gripping, his toes we're not curled, in the replay you are looking at when talking about his toes "hooked in" his foot is clearly moving around on the fence, it's not hooked in. Then Rodtang literally does the move you said he should have done, he pulls him away from the fence opposite the side without a hook and DJ just rode it and kept the back. His toes were CLEARLY through the fence, and he could have been pushing off it, but I really don't think it was a deciding factor in DJ taking the back.
I’m sorry my friend. I don’t think you are correct. If you watch the full speed version you can see the fence flexing as the two sway away from it.
You’ve got to trust me on this one. I know a fence hold when I see one, and he wouldn’t have maintained the back had he not been hooked into the fence with his toes.
The mechanics of the position don’t make sense without that piece in the puzzle, and the fence flexing is clear. Pull the fight up on UA-cam and watch it full screen.
@@DanHardyFR Fair play man, I'm trying to use MY logic on a situation I have no experience in, I've seen obvious toe grabs before and this didn't look obvious, but I'll trust you, like I said your knowledge is miles above mine, appreciate the response Dan, your breakdowns are always the most intricate and detalied.
LOVE that y’all made this
You say real analysis before and after it is great.
Was interesting watching that
ty good sir
Disappointed in seeing DJ with those toes in the fence.
I'm sure DJ is going to lose sleep over you being disappointed..
Every fighter finds their own ways to cheat lol if you ain’t trying to cheat you ain’t trying to win
I'm quite sure he gives zero fucks about your disappointment.
Not angry, just disappointed.
If you can get away with cheating that the ref doesn’t catch and doesn’t hurt your opponent, that’s it’s own martial art form in of itself
If ONE Championship is doing more crossovers, instead of a Frankenstein match, I'd like to see each do a FULL fight in the other's discipline.
I see an MMA fight going the same way, but Rodtang starts slow. In a Muay Thai match, he'd likely grow into - and finish - it.
😎👊
yeah you got remember though that a lot of thais start slow because the stadium circuit in Thailand. its an unwritten rule to take the first round slow as that's the time when a lot of bets get placed and gambling plays a huge part in the sport
@@arthurkemp4494 I don't have to remember. I typed it - that he starts slowly. I'm fully aware. Thanks anyway.
@@enigmachine What a cunty response
@@enigmachine you have to remember that Rodtang starts slow, even though you already mentioned it, just thought I would let you know that, even though you already know.
@@2secondslater No need, but thanks anyway.
This style is the only way I want to see mma vs boxing.
Tyson vs Ngannou by early next year in this format is a very real possibility with Tyson retiring from boxing and Ngannou leaving the UFC. Tyson even said he doesn’t want to box Ngannou but wants to do mixed rules
@@benlewis5312 I’d like that, but it’s unlikely to be like this. Tysons idea of mixed rules is box in a cage with mma gloves. I’d rather they just box or do something like this one round boxing one round mma or even kickboxing
DJ is so underrated.
Not really. People who know MMA consider him one of the goats
Rodtang needs to hire the rock to cut a "Rodtang pie" promo.
I thought his ground defense would be better
strange
Honestly lost quite a bit of respect for DJ for that cheeky play. It was an exhibition and incredibly disrespectful to Rodtang
What cheeky play?
@@rylinn4756 Hooking his toes into the cage
Lmao it's a fight, hooking your toes into a chain linked fence it's almost instinctive. So petty.
@@davidpineda9160 It's also cheating. 12 to 6 elbows are also instinctive, as are head stomps. They're also cheating. Do the rules not matter?
So, this is Hardy's channel? And does he do stuff with collectibles or just a cool back drop?
it is, and i think hes kind of a nerd, so prolly yes to the second one
Okay if it was a Muay Thai fight I got Rodtang but I'm saying that if it was an MMA fight I got Demetrious Johnson.
Demetrius has to grapple because if he tries to do Muay Thai with Rodtang he'll get destroyed.
No shit Sherlock
@@hadez8536 I actually like your reply
Muay Thai fans seethe
if you aint cheatin you aint tryin -dan hardy
