DJ taking silver in the open weight competition is nuts. It took the heavyweight champ to stop him. I'm glad his sensei finally awarded DJ his black belt.
@@1111111111202but it’s still DJ. He knows if they were the same body weight it wouldn’t of been a competition but it’s still a feat to be proud of nevertheless
It would have most definitely felt great winning double gold in ibjjf but I wouldn't exactly feel euphoric about subbing someone I out weight by over 50 lbs even if it was DJ.
@@1111111111202I say he can be proud, it was DJ in front of him And even without that, it was the second best in this competition, no matter what was his weight, he beat all the others
I always thought he was popular until the proposed TJ superfight when Dana said he ducked him. And with how things have played out, I think everyone now knows that's more of an issue with Dana being an ass. DJ took a Muay Thai fight with Rod Tang and he's grappling heavyweights - he ain't scared.
DJ is one of the only fighters to do this sorta stuff, where he challenges himself and puts himself in situations where he will likely lose. That’s why he’s one of the goats. He’s done it all yet still wants to challenge himself
People are allowed to speak their opinions on him, and the comparison makes sense since Jones is regarded as the goat but they were saying why it's really DJ, so don't even try and say it's completely irrelevant. You don't gotta defend him he's still not going to care about you dude. Don't be so quick to jump to your man crush's defense like that lol @@chrisdinke271
Well shit, I wouldn't feel bad about the fact that it takes a man practically three times my size to actually submit me. DJ is crazy man, dude just keeps getting better and better as the years go by
@@aggelos8256 Lol you got issues, who mentioned any of that? psychotic thoughts, they're having a friendly bjj tournament, and you SOMEHOW equate murder into this?
Dj is the only fighter who has tried to master each mma style at its highest level. Pure respect and definitely the greatest or one of the greatest of all time.
Just have been submitted once and because you face a Heavyweight champion (being a man who weighs less than 140lbs and is 5' 3") is crazy, DJ is just the Goat
Give props to the big man. DJ has scrambled with even bigger guys and they never got close. This man submitted the goat. I would definitely hang that on a mantle somewhere lol
@@bertovicuna9995 he might’ve won it but he’s clearly not a large human being he’s fairly average built, maybe a little tall but like I said he doesn’t look much more than 6 inches taller than DJ
Dj is such a true martial artist, always trying to learn get better, performing across promotions, a legend like him still trying to get better shows his hunger for martial arts
Dude dj seems like a legit great guy… like just an all round good human, I love seeing him win, but even when he loses, he does it with so much class and no ego, it’s so nice to see
This is what I love about competition. You never know who your going against, some people do not care at all who u are, prestige, skill level, their just going to goin there and give it there all🔥
I admire how humble this man is, he’s literally cruising through his division and taking challenges from open weights, and he’s not hiding his loss like some other “artists” do, you never lose brother, you just learn from it! Respect!
DJ is truly a phomanale athlete and a true gentleman. He's probably the only althelete I would like the pleasure of meeting in person or speaking to virtually ✌️
watching this stuff for 40+ years seeing a guy beat 200 to 250 pounders and this is the first time ever been submitted? Does not compute. Thanks so much for the joy brother.. You still champ.
It's an understatement to say no shame. He's the pound for pound GOAT. Also he's just an amazing guy. If you don't love him, there's something wrong with you
Omg I'm a wrestler but sheesh grappling with a gi on looks so physical holy shyt he was basically choking mouse with his own clothes an dj just stayed so calm wow this was great to see either way it went
Thanks for the humbleness posting this. And I think , after all it's normal to lose to a heavyweight..especially on a tournament for brown belts or above . Good job Mighty mouse top 10 of all time for sure. Very close to Emelianenko and Jones . I would pay too see you grapple one of them .
Ya but it’s open weight the dude is like an extra 20lbs Edit: yall know what I mean the dude is way heavier then DJ when it comes to wrestling it plays a lot more of a difference
@@fujibooze3594Nah DJ was 155 in this competition. He actually had to run and lose a little bit to be able to compete in the 155 lb division because he weighed in over the limit.
I absolutely hate going for the take down just to be put in someone's guard smh. I think if you would have had that knee cut ready once he did the take down, he could have avoided that entire scenario leading up to the sub. Knee cut, side control, knee on belly etc. Tough lessons learned in loss but learned undoubtedly! Love you MM!
God that must be such a double edged sword for the heavy weight. Like yeah you beat might mouse, but you had 75lbs on him and barellyyyy won. That must be utterly humbling as it is awesome feeling.
DJ taking silver in the open weight competition is nuts. It took the heavyweight champ to stop him. I'm glad his sensei finally awarded DJ his black belt.
He's finally on the level of Alex Pereira 😅🤣
Alex grappling is 0 🤣
@lowkeyb8429 nah he had a masterclass of grappling against Jamal hill 🤣
@@aaronbarkley539 Izzy showed great grappling after knocking him out 🤣
@@aaronbarkley539 Izzy handed him his 10th L lol
Man submitting DJ must feel euphoric 😭. This will only make him come back better tho 💪🏾
I'd say mixed feelings. Heavyweight beating some 100 ppint less?

i love how DJ has grown in popularity, and is basically doing bucket list stuff now...seems like a good life to have - well deserved
I always thought he was popular until the proposed TJ superfight when Dana said he ducked him.
And with how things have played out, I think everyone now knows that's more of an issue with Dana being an ass. DJ took a Muay Thai fight with Rod Tang and he's grappling heavyweights - he ain't scared.
@@MrDucktastiche took mixed rules fight with rod tang.
HUGE difference because he would get killed if it was only muay thai
He's completing side quests now.
It took a freakin heavyweight to sub him tho. DJ, I met you when you were a brown belt in Spokane Washington, you deserved the black.
@@imma5761it still takes a huge amount of balls to fight rod tang in the first place. Mixed rules or not.
DJ is one of the only fighters to do this sorta stuff, where he challenges himself and puts himself in situations where he will likely lose. That’s why he’s one of the goats. He’s done it all yet still wants to challenge himself
Jon Jones would NEVER put his legacy on the line like that lol doing random tourneys on the weekend. Dj is the goat we deserve
@@TheBossyMango Who cares about Jones? take it out your mouth it's a petty look

He fought 6 jiu-jitsu matches in one day
@@chrisdinke271 Defend him all you want Jon still doesn't care about you. Quit being a fanboy. It's an embarrassing look
The only fans sponsorship on the back always gets me💀
Yeh its really odd
Well shit, I wouldn't feel bad about the fact that it takes a man practically three times my size to actually submit me. DJ is crazy man, dude just keeps getting better and better as the years go by
Its still BJJ tho, and he knows it.
In a real fight DJ would open his head
@@aggelos8256 Lol you got issues, who mentioned any of that? psychotic thoughts, they're having a friendly bjj tournament, and you SOMEHOW equate murder into this?
3 times? IBJJF heavyweight is under 208 lbs and DJ won at featherweight which is 154, so just 50 lbs difference at most
@InvisibleHotdog and even though weight is a big deal, the bigger factor is the giant length advantage in his MUCH longer limbs compared to DJs...
@@six5256 limb length is an advantage in striking, not grappling. Grapplers skew toward being stocky
The ref in full suit attire makes this seem like an underworld mob exhibition lol
Gets real weird when you realize DJ is repping a predatory company on his Gi. very odd
@@Under-Kaoz"predatory" lmao.
This guy is 250 Bradley Martin is 260
If I’m not mistaken that’s what the refs wear in jiu jitsu competitions but definitely gives me anime tournament vibes 😂
😂
That dude was all in for the sub. He was so happy. DJ is a beast.
I still cant believe i wrestled D.J in 2006 before he became a professional athlete. We worked at Webco Engineering together. I am so happy for him.
Dj is the only fighter who has tried to master each mma style at its highest level. Pure respect and definitely the greatest or one of the greatest of all time.
Bro that was open weight category, he had more than 50 pounds on you, you gave him a hard time in the mat, you are a champion!!!🎉
Honestly that dude probably had 100 pounds on DJ. That dude looks around 250 DJ might be around 150 outside of camp for a fight.
@@iseaflames IBJJF heavyweight is 208, DJ competed at 154 lb featherweight, so 50ish lbs
Exactly fr fr I'm proud of DJ he's doing amazing things going up against bigger guys 💪
yeah sucks DJ was ahead on points he would’ve won if he didn’t get submitted lol
You You You.... He aint reading this shit.
First person to submit the guy is a heavyweight, damn
The size difference and weight difference is unreal. You really notice it when they stand up next to eachother.
Only because he hasn’t grappled a black belt like Alex pereira
@@giggityeffyou id watch DJ vs pereira any day.
@@John-qn2fd totally man. Like wow DJ lasted and gave a hard time. even from the looks of it, the heavyweight is throwing DJ around the mat
Just have been submitted once and because you face a Heavyweight champion (being a man who weighs less than 140lbs and is 5' 3") is crazy, DJ is just the Goat
What level was this tournament at. If he is so good why does he not fight elite bjj at his own weight?
@@jblizzard962 Pretty sure he did. In the video it said he was 30 seconds from double gold. So he may have won gold at this weight.
@@alexsitaras6508 Yes, what I mean is what level how good worldwide ranked were his opponents.
@@jblizzard962it’s literally ibjjf bro
Not that it changes anything about your statement but DJ walks at 150 now he said
Give props to the big man. DJ has scrambled with even bigger guys and they never got close. This man submitted the goat. I would definitely hang that on a mantle somewhere lol
In reality this dude is like 5’9-5’11 based on his comparison to ol DJ
@@DKRYMMA I think you missed the part where dj mentioned that his opponent won the "heavyweight" division 🤣?
@@bertovicuna9995 he might’ve won it but he’s clearly not a large human being he’s fairly average built, maybe a little tall but like I said he doesn’t look much more than 6 inches taller than DJ

@@bertovicuna9995 IBJJF HW is 208
Always knew Dolph Ziggler was a menace
LMAO!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you handled it with such dignity.. allot of fighters have much to learn in this regard.. thank you for leading by example :)
It's funny how a heavyweight is so happy for beating someone who fought at mighty weight! lol DJ is a BEAST
Dj is such a true martial artist, always trying to learn get better, performing across promotions, a legend like him still trying to get better shows his hunger for martial arts
Love the post tournament interview where he's holding his daughter. True family man DJ You're my hero!
DJ getting a silver medal is absolutely inspirational 🐐
Dude dj seems like a legit great guy… like just an all round good human, I love seeing him win, but even when he loses, he does it with so much class and no ego, it’s so nice to see
Inspiring to see you post the “L” as well as the Wins 🥇 and show real growth in doing so. New level of real respect for you brother. 💯🏆🇺🇸
This is what I love about competition. You never know who your going against, some people do not care at all who u are, prestige, skill level, their just going to goin there and give it there all🔥
Mightymouse is still an absolute monster of a fighter. Kudos to this guy for besting him. Good roll!

Tap on the belly "You did it"! Like a proud father))
Your daughter at the end was hilarious she's in her own world and she's all covered in chocolate.
Dj has to take the respect he has already earned. Absolute stud.
Nice gi choke to soften DJ up & transition to that cool triangle choke👍. Even in a loss, DJ is still a true champion of heart when others cry about it
He is good sport guy. Good example and humble 👍
My respect to mighty and his opponent as well. I bet he'll never stop going on about it now! And neither would I
DJ is a BEAST for competing in an open weight Championship as a flyweight toe to toe with a heavyweight.
I didn't know who DJ was so this was straight gas. Good roll man
DJ is truly a phomanale athlete and a true gentleman. He's probably the only althelete I would like the pleasure of meeting in person or speaking to virtually ✌️

Posted your triumphs and defeats. You’re an awesome dude DJ. A true martial artist.
First submission loss ever for dj and he’s 37 nearing the end of his career that’s fucking insane. Great sub.
DJ is a beast. Your chances are FAR greater against him in this type tournament than the streets or the octagon.
Very humble of DJ to admit defeat with no excuses the goat 🐐
This is how we know DJ is a real one, posting the losses as well as the wins..🙏👊💥✨.
Only makes you wanna train harder!
Always someone better❤
Dj you are the GOAT, gretting from Perú
DJ love u man. U r true warrior a gladiator.
Flyweight vs Heavyweight. And DJ beat the Superheavy weight champ. Dudes truly the GOAT of combat sports.
Brooo imagine being able to say you subbed DJ. That guy must be feeling like the man.
dj this just shows how much of a champion you are
DJ basically fought a guy over a 100lbs than him
No shame in that, DJ is a puny little human! Good work my tiny friend 👏
Demetrious Johnson is and always will be a CHAMPION.
Good job brother be proud love the positivity
Amazing while losing and amazing while winning. DJ is the GOAT
It's an understatement to say no shame. He's the pound for pound GOAT.
Also he's just an amazing guy.
If you don't love him, there's something wrong with you
Sportsmanship is more than your behavior after the win or loss. It’s the spirit in which you engage in competition .
He is the GOAT by far
Omg I'm a wrestler but sheesh grappling with a gi on looks so physical holy shyt he was basically choking mouse with his own clothes an dj just stayed so calm wow this was great to see either way it went
Gotta respect how he reacted though ❤
Dude is massive. Big respect to DJ
Crazy dude was holding
On for dear life. Almost 230 lbs and dj is 150
props to the winner 🎉
So humble, i want to be like him when i grow up.
The sportsmanship.
Absolutely amazing, huge props to the winner… guess what… you’re still Mighty Mouse! God is good always more to learn in a loss

DJ still the GOAT he won in his division and get submitted but took on a heavy-weight and looked to be winning. DJ is like 135 pretty crazy!
DJ is a beast, never seen someone win in a loss before
Ya but it’s open weight the dude is like an extra 20lbs
Edit: yall know what I mean the dude is way heavier then DJ when it comes to wrestling it plays a lot more of a difference
more like extra 50lbs
Think more like 80lb
It said Heavyweight and Dj is around 120-130 so that's more like a 70-80 pound difference
@@fujibooze3594Nah DJ was 155 in this competition. He actually had to run and lose a little bit to be able to compete in the 155 lb division because he weighed in over the limit.
Extra 20lb ? Its a lot more than that
DJ did well but nobody expected him to lose. Im sure he learnt a lesson or 2
Bruh that’s not a loss, ur a SAVAGE!!!!!
What a Legend
DJ is a beast.
Ultimate respect to DJ. I am a white belt and watching him has made me better. I managed to submit a blue belt in class.
you could tell he was so proud of himself (as he should be)
Amén esto es de hombres serás el mejor siempre 🎉
Demetrious is my hero man, what a fighter
This is why the old UFC with NO rules and no weight classes was KING.
Weight classes exits for a reason, DJ is just the exception
Dude didn't rush dj . Great match. Dj a beast for even coming 2nd
Gotta love DJ!
DJ I don’t care what people say BUT You Sir are the G.O.A.T. Just look at your accomplishments. Well done. 👍👍🇨🇦
Chris Jericho Is a Legend. Not even with the walls tapping Mighty. Amazing
Honestly if that was a no Gi competition dude wouldn't have had that much control
It sucks that you lost in the end but it's insane how you had the advantage the entire match
I know he moved on to better things but dang Dj I miss watching you fight live at the ufc events. Always backing up your name Mighty Mouse 💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥
He was the real winner in my book. Imagine if he was a light heavyweight. Pound for pound DJ was by far the best fighter in that tournament.
That collar hold was crucial!!! Prolly would've lost without it
Ray Borg is crying tears of joy right now
Never stop competing in open weight 💪
Wow. DJ is a Beast.

Much respect to both!
Way to go, Brandon! I love that I keep seeing this in my recommended videos.
I guess it's because I always click them😅
If I was that dude I would NEVER stop talking about it lmao
Mighty fighting giants. Proving that size honestly doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Legend!
Loose to heavyweight u still winning champ keep it up 🎉

Mighty Mouse has unmatched skill level. Unmatchable.
