    True. Losing to Moraes the first time made this recent win a much much bigger deal. If DJ just swept the entire line of opponents straight to the belt when he first came to One Championship - I am sure many would just disregard him and say he's only fighting cans. The adversity, the challenging matches, and the loss he took; all added to the glory of him finally winning the belt.
    Also, I must say, One Championship has a really good product. Fights were insane from top to bottom in that Amazon Prime debut!

    DJ was competitive on the ground in the first round. He did a lot of damage from his back and was threatening submissions. The second round was rough, DJ got hurt but Moraes spent a lot of energy. Coming into the third DJ looked fresh, crisp and ready, while Moraes looked beaten and exhausted. At the start of the 4th I said out loud Moraes looked like he wanted out of the fight. He is big for the division and I think that caught up to him when DJ was fresh but he was spent. That 4th round DJ was completely outclassing him. Overall I saw (if we were to judge by rounds) at worse 2-2 but a real argument could be made for a split round 1 or even for DJ. I don’t think he was losing the fight when he won.

Have no clue how anyone could claim DJ was losing that fight after watching, As it seemed clear he was starting to put it on Moraes as he was def fading. That 4th round he seemed dejected, And DJ stayed aggressive. And that KO was a thing of beauty. Moraes is legit still a beast tho.

      Moraes appeared uncertain, while DJ was radiating confidence and most vivid fighter spirit.
      Moraes missed weight and failed the hydration test (BTW, did he make up weight and hydration in the last hours?).
      In the fight Moraes looked repressed as well. Giving ground, overreacting on feints. Still doing good, but after first say two rounds his energy seemed to fade, he was not eager to fight.

      Caveat: I'm not familiar how One score MMA fights. If it's based on overall strikes, control and damage then it would likely have been a much closer fight.

    I think 2 major things played into DJ’s push; 1) he explained because One FC scores based on the entirety of the fight and not round by round, there was no concern at the end of 2 rounds. I do believe the tide was changing and he won the third (for us UFC fans) because he indicated to Matt Hume in between the third and fourth round that it was ‘Zombie Time’.
    2) Moraes trains at ATT in Florida, no slouch gym by any means so we know he trains with absolute killers but DJ pointed out that his biggest take away from working with Henry was that his clinch/knee game was greater than even he gave himself credit for and that showed in how many knees he threw in that fight and most landed in my opinion. Great Fight

    I remember when Agassi said: "If your parents BUY you a car, no big deal. But if you have to WORK for that car...you truly appreciate that car." (that's when he won the FRENCH OPEN in 99!) or 98??? 🤔 LOL! anyway..... I'll go with DJ in #3! He's a professional, on every level, and wouldn't let that fixture slip out of his resume. He's humble...but he's a viscous warrior! I wouldn't mistake his calm, easy energy as "Weakness." He's a GLADIATOR!!!!

    My parents weren't there either and I'm still homeless since I was 14. Everyone says it's my fault I have to take my life into my own hands. No one cares about that shit. You gotta deal with it alone and learn to not listen to people punching down on you because you're a bum.

      They're telling you the truth man, it IS your own fault.
      Don't listen to any of these entitled fucking dickwads who try to tell you different.
      I also find it hilarious how all these Yoga hippies going around saying "I promise things will get better" when it is BULLSHIT.
      Nothing will "get better" because some random dude promises you it. And nothing will be solved by blaming other people for your own life. You said it perfect "DEAL WITH IT ALONE AND LEARN NOT TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE".
      That is how successful people feel about their lives. It will never get better until THEY make it better. Nothing is ever solved unless THEY solve it. And you have to deal with it alone, because nobody will give the slightest shit about you until you do!
      But you can be motivated by the fact that in a year you could go past all these morons and they'll be sat here saying the same shit as now. 💪

      just remember there's no shame in taking help brother, I grew up in a similar situation, kicked out by my parents at 16 after they found my one hitter, I didn't know what to do after I had reached the limit of couch hopping from friend's house to friends house. ended up going to my local salvation army and they got me in a youth group home for free, The director there turned me from a broken down pothead into a now master's holding civil engineer (no shame on weed, I know plenty of people can do it just fine, but for me it was self-medication for things I should have been dealing with on my own)

      Looking back at my life, if I could tell young me anything, it would be that life gets better. I had a rough time as a kid and it all seemed hopeless but it does get better. Making the right choices and working towards something is the key or at least it was for me. The advantage I had over others was that I wasn’t afraid of taking risks and losing my job. I had already been to the bottom, it didn’t scare me and in hindsight I was actually freer than I am now. It sounds stupid but in my eyes it’s true. Now I have many things to lose and I fight to hold on to it.

    First time I saw DJ was against Rodtang and he beat him. As a Muay Thai lover I didn't like that at all. Then I found out more about DJ and he is such a great guy. No nonsense, family first, fought all odds in life and stayed humble while very successful. He is a roll model for sure..

    When Moraes rehydrated, he looked a full 2 weight classes bigger than DJ. DJ won the 135-pound belt. That's not his natural weight class. His skill is off the chart. He's at least top 5 all-time... And not just the UFC, I'm talking about all MMA organizations... And he's 36!

    Thinking about it , if i had to Bet my House on one after watching the fight ...... id still have to put it on Morales ..... I know ..... sounds crazy. Even Thought DJ cut him , and mushed both eyes, then gassed him by the end of round 2 ( i paused this, then watched it) ........ Its the reach and size advantage Morales has that would worry me going 3rd time in ......
    But if i had no bets , id be cheering on DJ all the way , but would i bet my house on him winning? ..... not agains Morales , that dude is legit. I hope they do 3 , and i hope DJ wins. Then he holds his GOAT status, hopefully with out any "buts....".
