Not just that he is constantly learning and evolving as a fighter, but he also comes across as such a nice humble guy. He does not come across as arrogant or cocky in any way. He is so geeked out describing what he was doing
People who say that bs probably never watched the fight. Mighty mouse was lighting Cruz up on the feet and was pressing him the whole fight. Cruz was just able to rag doll him. Let's also consider how good Cruz is and that it was a very long time ago also
How many people in this comment section have experience being the flyweight UFC champ? No, ok...then how a about UFC champ at all? Still no? That's cool, how about professional MMA champ in any regional circuit? Nah brah? Alright, how about any fighting experience at all? Guys, I get it. You crave this insatiable thirst for blood/knockouts/brawls, but there is some news for you. That's just not gonna happen in every MMA, UFC, or UFC championship bout. Appreciate the raw skill and technicality of once in a lifetime fighters. and if you don't think DJ is that type of prolific fighter, you are part of the problem. #GOAT
Ben Sherwood Nobodies like Benavidez, who’s only loss at Bantamweight is Dom, or Dodson, who knocked out TJ in one round and remains a top contender at bantamweight? If DJ’s not the greatest, then who is? Anderson and Jon who got busted for juice? And like I said, GSP himself admits he’s not the greatest. The only reason the Flyweight division has a problem is because not only is DJ so dominant, but there’s no personalities like Bisping, Conor, Chael, or Lee that can hype a fight.
Ben Sherwood Benavidez has won like 6 in a row since the loss LOL. TJ should worry about Cody and Dom instead of fighting smaller men for an easy shot. And it’s not like DJ ducked him at all, he told TJ to fight one contender to respect the fact that there are rankings and to prove he can make weight. TJ backed out after because he’s just desperate for a title shot after Dom came back and took what was his.
Its like when joe said ronda was the greatest and could beat guys. When reality she was just fighting sub par competition. Do you really think the flyweight division is as competitive as the welterweight or lightweight?
*That finish by Mighty was the most incredible move I have seen in years in UFC. Only one coming close to that was the Von Flue Chokes getting dished out by Ovince Saint Preux*
The Von Flue Choke could be done by anyone. KZ's twister was amazing but even more recently was Oleksiy's Ezekiel choke from the bottom while mounted and without a gi. That was next level amazing.
honestly conor is just good at marketing. from a pure skill level i wouldn't even put conor in the top 10. he's #1 at selling tickets don't get me wrong, but he isn't the most talented
The problem is that he doesnt have Good rivals, with name in that división.. he is a Good fighter.. But also look at the fighters he fought.. no one Really knows who they are..
Incredibly chill dude, responded to one of my chats on his stream last christmas and seems like a lovely guy but a lethal fighter and quite obviously the GOAT.
This man transcends MMA with respect to whom he has inspired throughout his illustrious career. From all variety of athlete to videogamers, from teachers to musicians such as myself, he stands at the top of those to look up to when researching true will and determination. An undying penchant for mastery. Kudos Sir.
Such a gentleman! Can't say enough POSITIVE things about this man!!!"God bless your souls "!! Who says that??You have to have that inside! Ive been a fan of his since hes been around even losing to the bigger Dominique Cruz....but anyway congrats again to ya Mr . Johnson! !
Have to give it to this man!!!Hes the BEST ive ever seen do it and im a mma junkie!! love it when he says "yyyeeaaaahh f...k yeeeaaahh" congrats my man congrats your bad azz to say the least!
Ray Borg looked good, the record breaker was no gimmie. Props to DJ for all the hard work this man deserves all the respect. The best part was watching Dana have to begrudgingly acknowledge his greatness and put the belt on DJ again!
WrexnFx meh. Let's see how cejudos striking looks against pettis not a guy like Reis who,just stands there predictably wading and throws bombs with no jab
It's too bad he gets so little press and doesn't get the respect from the UFC, he's an amazing athlete and fight. Being humble just doesn't pay as well. Keep it class MM!
I agree that he should call that move the Mousetrap. It will be his new finishing move. As for what's next, I'd like to see him alternate between super fights and extending his record. So even if he lost in a super fight against TJ/Cody he could still defend his belt at flyweight. And if he won he could defend both titles. Unless they try to make him give up his flyweight title in order to move up.
People keep talking about him dodging TJ. Isn't he bigger anyway? Saying that DJ has to fight bigger opponents in order to get a challenge is kinda saying he has to handicap himself to make it a good fight. Clear out your weight class, blow the record out, THEN go for the handicap matches. You don't fight the BOSS character first.
i just hate when reporters ask questions that they would know if they just listened to other interviewers. i understand people only getting news from one source but come on man.. if its your job. do some research.. so i don't have to hear the same thing 3 times
Notice how all DJ videos have more views by a lot than Tony..LOVE BOTH, but if people think Tony and Kevin should of been main event cuz PPV draws..Well the highest Tony video ive seen is 18K? well not just that but all vids DJ has more views..So..
Most title defenses yes...but his level of opposition just isnt good enough to be considered p4p number 1. Cormier is a former SF heavyweight champ and UFC lightheavy champ with wins over guys like Gus, Rumble, Barnett, Mir, and conor is a two weight world champ with wins over Holloway, Aldo, Mendes, Porrier, Diaz, Alvarez. Im sorry but its not close at all.
what a human being what a champion
they've gotta call that move the mousetrap right?
I like that name dude. Lol...mouse trap
Nerd level fight IQ. Nerds rule...literally.
2 NTR that's what I was thinking. This guy's a gamer man he's just on another level. It's like he's smurfin real life
I'm not a nerd but I agree
Don’t ever disrespect this man again he’s a wizard
god damn. this man is truly incredible at his art. I dont care about his weightclass. there is no other athlete with his mindset and skillset.
This is what everyone should realise!
Yup. Tiny ppl can do amazing things.
Not just that he is constantly learning and evolving as a fighter, but he also comes across as such a nice humble guy. He does not come across as arrogant or cocky in any way. He is so geeked out describing what he was doing
6yrs ago, at BW, your point being?
People who say that bs probably never watched the fight. Mighty mouse was lighting Cruz up on the feet and was pressing him the whole fight. Cruz was just able to rag doll him. Let's also consider how good Cruz is and that it was a very long time ago also
A drug free goat. Congrats to the MIGHTY MOUSE.
Matt snap wtf lol dc haha

it is genuinely incredible how good he is. He just doesnt get tired.
Very nice armbar
Steeeve Maaadden people are calling it the mousetrap
The Greatest Ever!
Ben Sherwood If guys like Stipe and GSP say he’s the GOAT, then what should I care about what some dude over the Internet says
Ben Sherwood Nobodies like Benavidez, who’s only loss at Bantamweight is Dom, or Dodson, who knocked out TJ in one round and remains a top contender at bantamweight? If DJ’s not the greatest, then who is? Anderson and Jon who got busted for juice? And like I said, GSP himself admits he’s not the greatest.

Borgs biggest win was against smolka.... think about that dj fanboys
I feel like DJ is finally just beginning to get the respect he deserves and its so dope to see.
8:13 The injury he's talking about is almost certainly a medial meniscus tear. Makes his performance even more impressive!
*That finish by Mighty was the most incredible move I have seen in years in UFC. Only one coming close to that was the Von Flue Chokes getting dished out by Ovince Saint Preux*
Fart Ing
We're calling them Von Preux chokes now
The Von Flue Choke could be done by anyone. KZ's twister was amazing but even more recently was Oleksiy's Ezekiel choke from the bottom while mounted and without a gi. That was next level amazing.
Korean Zombies twister trumps all noobs.
Fart Ing greatest submission finish of all time
It's the best thing I've ever seen
Brilliant athlete ......... fantastic attitude
that is the P4P greatest fighter of all time.
Just stop...please...Boring bloke, move up then we'll see
Who is then?
My comment was regarding P4P greatest fighter of all time, boring ! go get a personality kid
CornerSports ya right fighting bums
bully him into fighting people 5 to 6 inches taller and 30 to 40 pounds heavier cause hes too dominant at his own weight class? ok LOL
People don't give him much credit ..dude is an amazing fighter and of course an amazing gamer lol..but all ufc newbies stuck with Conor Conor
honestly conor is just good at marketing. from a pure skill level i wouldn't even put conor in the top 10. he's #1 at selling tickets don't get me wrong, but he isn't the most talented
People don't give him much credit because nobody really cares about his lack-luster Division.
The problem is that he doesnt have Good rivals, with name in that división.. he is a Good fighter.. But also look at the fighters he fought.. no one Really knows who they are..
Jose Valladolid They are good rivals though. Not known but good yes.
Guy goes 4 rounds and a bit and comes out looking fresher than before. GOAT
He needs to man up and stop ducking CM Punk ...
redrum murder winner gets Artem
Punk would ruin him
Incredibly chill dude, responded to one of my chats on his stream last christmas and seems like a lovely guy but a lethal fighter and quite obviously the GOAT.
He should fight the winner of garbrandt vs dillashaw
This man transcends MMA with respect to whom he has inspired throughout his illustrious career. From all variety of athlete to videogamers, from teachers to musicians such as myself, he stands at the top of those to look up to when researching true will and determination. An undying penchant for mastery. Kudos Sir.
Demetrius "Mighty GOAT" Johnson
Such a gentleman! Can't say enough POSITIVE things about this man!!!"God bless your souls "!! Who says that??You have to have that inside! Ive been a fan of his since hes been around even losing to the bigger Dominique Cruz....but anyway congrats again to ya Mr . Johnson! !
Best P4P and has taken little to no physical punishment. True Mixed Martial Artist and superb at his craft.
The GOAT
Yeah, Anderson Silva is the GOAT!
Conor McGregor ???
Lassi Alanen of the weakest division ever lmfao! Relax
F E D O R
If Peter Dinklage had wins over several top rated dwarfs, would he be the GOAT?
Can’t believe he’s not in the UFC anymore, Never got all the respect he deserved GOAT
Appreciate!!!
Told my roommate "It was like he painted the Sistine Chapel in an octagon."
Have to give it to this man!!!Hes the BEST ive ever seen do it and im a mma junkie!! love it when he says "yyyeeaaaahh f...k yeeeaaahh" congrats my man congrats your bad azz to say the least!
I watched the submission 50 times already, pressing that spacebar frenetically to view each frame / step : this move is incredible.
The way he explains his armbar setup you can tell he's not just a fighter but an actual fan of what's possible in this sport.
I miss the old post fight pressers so much
"Mighty" Demetrious Johnson; the Champ. The greatest ever.
Amazing fight iq, amazing technical ability, amazing stamina, amazing team behind him.
He is so phenomenal. That ead unbelievable. Best of all time
Now that's a "CHAMPION".....Style grace and character.....Best ambassador UCF has..THE TRUE GOAT......Keep up the great job you do Mighty Mouse..
Ray Borg looked good, the record breaker was no gimmie. Props to DJ for all the hard work this man deserves all the respect. The best part was watching Dana have to begrudgingly acknowledge his greatness and put the belt on DJ again!
Dude is a class act. True champion and student of the game. Respect.
Best fucken Champion out there :) Thank you DJ
I have always loved this guy and always thought that he shold sit head and shoulders at the top pf the P4P list. He is the GOAT
U gotta move up now dude..nothing left in this class
Denzil Webb Pettis
Marteen Projects u mean the guy with even worse takedown defense than ray borg? 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Cejudo might have something to say about that
WrexnFx meh. Let's see how cejudos striking looks against pettis not a guy like Reis who,just stands there predictably wading and throws bombs with no jab
Denzil Webb then watch him get destroyed by bigger guys.
“Can’t wait to watch dragon ball super today,” he says.
Indigo Bourn ur a bum
ur a bum
The most lovable champion in ufc history
Amazing display of his skills
Congrats DJ
Mouse trap (armbar)
This guy is a real life super hero. What a badass.
That move was so epic. That's the kinda move that makes striking fans come around and want to like ground game. Video game move
Funny how you break a record and ppl talking about the interim championship
berry walters cause this division is a joke
I don’t think so. From what I’m seeing Twitter is blowing up on DJ’s awesome
berry walters I could tell you're just mad cause he didn't fight TJ it's ok no need to hate #andstill #recordholder
Proof that you don't need to be big and strong to be a good world class fighter. All the best to this talented man
To the 47 thumbs down, you must not understand the greatness this man continues to showcase. Respect it
I love this dude
"Can't wait to watch Dragon Ball Super Tonight" lol why we love DJ
The greatest ever to do it
3:15😆
He absolutely dominated!
"watching dragon ball super today" LMAO!!!
D.J Champ suplex into an armbar is now called the MOUSETRAP!!!
Great sub champ!
It's too bad he gets so little press and doesn't get the respect from the UFC, he's an amazing athlete and fight. Being humble just doesn't pay as well. Keep it class MM!
Might Mouse is the most complete mixed martial artist I've ever seen
The best. Nuff said.
The real flyweight champ! Definitely the goat of the 125ers
The greatest
He is the greatest 👑✨
He has the best overall skill set of any MMA fighter.
Amazing
I’m no expert but DJ is the best I’ve ever seen.
w0ffle best at 125 lbs.
He reminds me of a video game character
I agree that he should call that move the Mousetrap. It will be his new finishing move. As for what's next, I'd like to see him alternate between super fights and extending his record. So even if he lost in a super fight against TJ/Cody he could still defend his belt at flyweight. And if he won he could defend both titles. Unless they try to make him give up his flyweight title in order to move up.
Dj is the Floyd mayweather of mma. Has such a good skill set that he takes no damage so can have such an extended career with so many title defences
Goat.
I really want to see this guy move uo to 135lb. A lot more challenge for him. No competition in the 125lb division for the GOAT.
GOAT
GOATish
Demetrious mighty mouse Johnson is the best pound for pound fighter in the would, end of discussion!
He will face TJ, Cody or Cruz in his next fight wait and see now that he has broken the record. UFC just needs to pay the man better.
People keep talking about him dodging TJ. Isn't he bigger anyway? Saying that DJ has to fight bigger opponents in order to get a challenge is kinda saying he has to handicap himself to make it a good fight. Clear out your weight class, blow the record out, THEN go for the handicap matches. You don't fight the BOSS character first.
G.O.A.T Ability and Personality
Well done d.j
The most RIDICULOUS armbar i ever saw in a championship fight , if not any fight
The last true champion we've got!
Sorry it's all about quality not quantity. He's not beating elite fighters he's beating good fighters. The one time he faced a elite fighter he lost.
3:15 basically sums it up
When I grow up, I want to be just like DJ
i just hate when reporters ask questions that they would know if they just listened to other interviewers. i understand people only getting news from one source but come on man.. if its your job. do some research.. so i don't have to hear the same thing 3 times
Did he say he can't even watch Dragon Ball super today at the end of that
Suplex to Arm Bar. Just wtf?
So many pathetic haters in this comment section.
When will people realise Mighty Mouse has more answers than Siri.
Better than Silva. People who say otherwise are deluding themselves.
Notice how all DJ videos have more views by a lot than Tony..LOVE BOTH, but if people think Tony and Kevin should of been main event cuz PPV draws..Well the highest Tony video ive seen is 18K? well not just that but all vids DJ has more views..So..
I've seen the replay now 6 or 7x since the fight...gd mighty mouse playing dark souls irl rest of us playing pong.
I could weigh in at 125 and takes this mans title
DJ is like a diamond smurfing in Bronze elo games
Most title defenses yes...but his level of opposition just isnt good enough to be considered p4p number 1. Cormier is a former SF heavyweight champ and UFC lightheavy champ with wins over guys like Gus, Rumble, Barnett, Mir, and conor is a two weight world champ with wins over Holloway, Aldo, Mendes, Porrier, Diaz, Alvarez. Im sorry but its not close at all.
"Can't wait to watch dragon ball super today" legend
3:03 ... is what you came to see
My mans look like he got the Megamind head
I like him, mayne...... so awkward & nerdy. ✊🏾
TBE (of MMA)! DJ thinks just like Floyd
