Do you want to see DJ face Moraes in a rematch? Or should the flyweight GOAT take his talents to ONE Super Series kickboxing?
DJ losing and more importantly Eddie getting a DQ could not have been a worse outcome to gain the US audience.
Both
Size played a huge factor in the fight and it was a great disadvantage on Demetrious Johnson's part. I'd really love to see a rematch happen to see if DJ can still manage to make the proper adjustments and avenge that loss.
he should go down to 125 and fight top 5 fighters. If he wins he can fight Joshua Pacio for the straw weight championship.
No. Moraes is too big. He’s a borderline 155er fighting a 125er lol Kind of embarrassing to be honest
Don't think there's a single mma fan that doesn't like dj. Pure class and one of the goats
THE goat 🐐
There's some weirdos out there that doesn't like Mighty Mouse because he's so great and looked unbeatable for a long time...Similar to how some dislike Jon Bones Jones.
I wish that were true, but he's gotten way more hate than love throughout his career.
@@LuizRosario No they don't like jones , because of his iodiots actions , Period !!!
@@LuizRosario people don’t like Jones because he’s a proven cheat. But yes, people who don’t like DJ are probably weirdos, there’s literally nothing bad you can say about the guy.
Handled like a legend. I really want to see a rematch but whatever he does I'm watching
THE GOAT
@@LuizZ1233 indeed brother
He said 6 more fights. And he's already GOATED.... This guy is an ALIEN... Respect his GANGSTA... 🐐
@@LuizZ1233 not even close
@@AdamB34 DJ THE GOAT
DJ's pure class and humility!
A more class act doesn’t exist
Wonder boy
How can you not like/admire this man!?
Taking his loss like a GOAT
Yep 👍
Humble in victory or defeat! Still a champion of life!
That's a champ attitude. No excuses 💯💯
still the goat 🐐
Yep
Indeed, never ducked anyone.. faces all tough challenges, you will see how big Moraes is when they hugged post fight. Dude looks massive next to MM, that punch was well-timed by Moraes and great execution of the knee
@@walterwine who is he supposed to duck? There's like 5 good fighters near his weight.
@@AdamB34 🤦♂️
@@AdamB34 this is a bad take.
Kudos for no excuses. So many fighters would say they weren’t used to the rules or forgot about them to shift blame but he took it like a man.
You're awesome, DJ. I'm brazilian and loved the way you handled the situation. A truly fighter with a humble heart.
Size played a huge factor in the fight and it was a great disadvantage on Demetrious Johnson's part. I'd really love to see a rematch happen to see if DJ can still manage to make the proper adjustments and avenge that loss.
that guy looked 2 classes bigger than him. I watch moraes fight a few times yesterday on their stream. he wasn't super impressive against guys his own size.
@@rd400d If DJ was of the same size as Adriano Moraes, things will definitely turn out very different.
@@rd400d DJ shouldn't have fought him then.
@@rd400d SERIOUSLY. I don't know how Moreas makes weight for Flyweight.
@@ahikernamedgq its because flyweight in one FC are 135 pounds
Pure class and such an intelligent guy.
DJ is a true legend in combat sports, a dedicated father and a humble guy. We need more athletes like DJ.
A true champion 🙏🏽 props to both
Aljamin sterling still on the mat and never wake up😂😂😂
@@0xDEAD-C0DE you realize hes only doing what hes doing to upset dummys like you enough to purchase his next fight and make him a millionaire right? Youre in the comment section of a ONEFC Mighty Mouse fight talking about him so its obviously working
Caleb finally someone that gets it. These people dont understand that this is their career, thats how they make money and provide to their family, they dont understand the financial genius Aljo is for making all of these decisions
@@martinlemay2195 hope petr yan doesn't make another silly mistake and gets the job done
@@cbm3 Is sterling immune to projecting insecurity? Im personally not convinced he’s just trying to sell the next fight....but who knows. Love this sport nonetheless
I have seen someone take a loss like this, pure class and humility. DJ is the GOAT 🐐❤️
I’ve always enjoyed your fights. Thank you.
If anyone deserves to be in the MMA Hall of fame, it's definitely DJ. Dude is amazing everywhere, he's a beast, he's technical as fuck, and whether it's a win or loss he's as humble as they come. Can't help but love the guy
The size difference is HUGE. Respect to Demetrious for performing as great as he did, and for handling the loss like he did. Legend.
Two flyweights who both weighed 134 lbs fought each other... how unfair!
@@benjaminkell3726 dozens of people who commented or liked comments on this video. In fact one guy said Moraes should be "embarrassed" that he beat up a much smaller guy.
@@AdamB34 one is 5'8 an the other is 5'3
100% class DJ, such a great example of how to win and more importantly, how to lose.
Pure Class - Pure Professionalism - Always the Goat ❤️
calm, class, superhuman quickness unbelievable talent
Bro Dj is so humble bruh victory and defeat big fan of him
Man this dude drips class even when he curses hahaha I'm taking notes
Demetrious you rule and will be victorious next time you fight "the runner"
His attitude after losing made me a bigger fan.
You rock, dude!Respect!
Demetrious Johnson é uma lenda,parabéns 👏👏👏👏
the media and Aljo tried to simp for DJ for that knee. But DJ shut it down. thats a true champion
Adriano Moraes’ win has less to do with DJ getting older/making mistakes/the grounded knee rule... and more to do with Adriano Moraes being the better fighter last night. Put some respect on his name.
He ran most of the fight. I respect his victory but his style is boring
No one denies moraes ability and I think we all respect him as a fighter. Just we all love DJ for the class he has as a perso and skill he has as a a fighter. Just because we still love dj dont mean we taking anything away from Adriano
@@SLSMe that's called out boxing its a legit strategy
Jeez he is the definition of class act. Champ in his wins and champ in his losses. Well done sir!!!
Class act 🐐
Mighty Mouse is a real class act. Love his attitude. Keep fighting and setting a great example, champ!
DJ is a true martial artist it’s beautiful to see.
I think all those years fighting under different rules has his brain programmed to not expect a knee in that position. People are often on autopilot when they're in survival mode. Not taking anything away from Moraes. He created the opportunity and took it like a champ.
I doubt it.
Dj's been fighting in this organization though so he knows the deal
@@Inpwmdwa yeah but old habits die hard.
DJ! no excuses! He took that loss like a real champ! Great guy win or lose. GOat for sure!!
Demetrious luta muito bem grande lutador, só que o Adriano Morais tava bem mais preparado acerto o 1 round mantendo-se distante do Jiu Jitsu do demetrious, 2 round acerto todos os passos e teve uma estratégia sensacional. Parabéns os dois luta muito.🇧🇷🇺🇸🥊🥊🇧🇷🇺🇸🇧🇷🇺🇸
now that's a champion, pure and simple.
Respect for the humility.
That takes nothing away from DJ's legacy. This could even happen to me. Actually the way he takes a loss is champ.
How could this happen to you from your mom’s basement?
@@Gdawg0331 on the ufc video game I'm guessing
Still your fan DJ🤙🏽 just comeback stronger 🥊
Probably the best there's ever been. A top notch fighter with top notch character.
DJ is a challenger so he pressure the champ know he now the fighting style of adriano he can adjust with the rematch. Big respect to DJ for being humble and no excuses that's a real man yeah.
spoken like a true champ bro! well said and phenomenal fight! The man you fought is a very intelligent and Technical fighter. He is longer and very good at keeping distance and avoiding the inner brawl. He basically kept you at bay, while sustaining damage himself. He would be the champion in any octagon, much like you! You simply ran out of patience. You are the shorter compact fighter, with more explosive attributes. you duck when you throw your hook, and he read it and countered with an uppercut. His knee jarred you a little bit, but you did great at catching it, and turning it into a great combination. Like you said, He won this time, but you could beat him by playing his game. Drain the clock on him, act like you will hook and hit him with the flying knee instead. Game Over!!! Johnson is champ yet again!!:)
Knee's to the head on a grounded opponent changes everything. Especially when clearing cobwebs and trying to get up. All class as usual still a fan of DJ!!
DJ you are still the goat! Love to see the rematch
Respect where respect is due You are My goat no matter what💪
When he said he's been finished in the gym before, real ones know Bibiano was the culprit 🤣😁😁
Whos that ?
@@frankthesecond2101 I think Bibiano Fernandes. Bantamweightchampion of ONE. Absolute Legend
How’s that? Does Bibiano train in Kirkland, Wa?
@@m.b.593 Pretty sure they train out the same gym
@@llawliet3733 the word legend has no meaning anymore.
Love Mighty Mouse, he’s such a champion in and outside the ring.
Awesome dude
All class.
Meanwhile Aljo is crying instead of him.
Yea....this makes Aljo look soooo bad. No acting. And not even a mark on his face from that knee.
And not trying to play off the acting on his insta
Spoken like a true champ! DJ is still one of the best!
Such a legend man
What a class act👏
Rematch !! Look at many fights like Jr. Dos VS. Cain #1, and then #2 and #3. There are other examples but this one comes to mind. Let's see if it was a fluke.?..
He is still the best ever to fight in MMA 160cm and still fighting tall opponents, nothing but respect for this guy.
Tall? Who cares about height?
@@AdamB34 everyone who actually fights or knows about fighting, that's who.
@@michelbergerribeiro1566 that's not even remotely true lol. Nobody judges an mma fighter based on the height of the fighters he's beaten. What's more impressive? A. Beating 6'1 Cain Velasquez B. Beating 7'0 Stefan Struve It's pretty simple goofy. In mma height is irrelevant, they have weight classes, not height classes. Who cares how tall DJ's opponents are? It is completely irrelevant.
@@AdamB34 It matters to a certain extent cause you have to get in close to land your own punches and it's hell if the opponent is fast and has a good reach, even worse is if you don't know how to deal with taller fighters
@@Ra-rn4wu height has almost nothing to do with reach though. Often times the taller fighter will have a shorter reach. The same is true in the NBA. A guy who is 6'8 can have a 7'5 wingspan while a guy who is 6'10 can have a 7'0 wingspan. Reach and height are two different things I guess is my overall point. Like I said... is it more impressive to beat 6'1 Cain Velasquez or 7'0 Stefan Struve?
He's such a gamer!I can't wait to see if they run it back. I love the idea of him going to kickboxing I think that's would be must see
Mighty Mouse you are the real fighter ! Greetengs from Azerbaijan ✋
Respect
Sounds like a nice person to hang out with
DJ is one of the best ever nothing but respect
Everyone could benefit by the example DJ sets. No excuses, no crying about fairness. Just pure reliance in himself to become better.
Good for him , keep that chin up , let's go One Championship
Real man right there, no excuses. In a life or death fight everything goes no referees. One fc is having more of a real fight rules.
The first fighter of the night was DQd for hitting the back of the neck/head. How is that like a real fight?
@@AdamB34 it was a bad call imo. Dude, turned his neck into the punch because he was trying to protect his face lol. Shouldn't have been a dq. Maybe a no contest, if anything
@@ant2011 it was the right call. Alvarez hit his opponent in the back of the head at least 4 times and his opponent couldn't continue fighting because of it. Gotta DQ him in that situation.
😢 so sad to see DJ get knocked out. He took it like a champ but it's hard to see your hero go out like that.
Please DJ do an instructional on MMA basics with Matt Hume
GOAT how can¨t you not love him
You're still the best, dude.
RESPECT!! Uzz!!
DJ is an outstanding fighter, but Moraes has been the flyweight champion for over a decade and I don't see people supporting him as much as they support DJ. I saw some people saying " Moraes is lucky", but nobody is lucky for 10 years. There's a lot of work, dedication, and willpower involved for sure. Let's open our minds and recognize Moraes as THE BEST of the world at this moment. There are excellent athletes fighting at great events such as ONE, among others... The problem is that people just watch UFC and think that the UFC's fighters are always better, even when they don't work there anymore. Cheers for both fighters.
What a legend that's how you handle it
@DJ What a legend... I'm fan for life, but Maraes is a straight up killer. I hope DJ get the win
So gutted for him man 😧 still a legend tho 💯
This is why DJ one of d'best o the best,inside and out of the cage!😊
DJ put in the work and played it fair. He's right about putting pressure on yourself and overdoing it. It's a time for everything is it not?
What a class act
All class
Stll love DJ. GOAT
Forever the 🐐🐐🐐
He's the greatest!
You are my idol DJ
Dj a legend!
DJ I’m still rooting for you bro bro
I'd like to see a rematch...
He’s the 🐐
Its a part of a game Sometime you Win and sometime you loss.niver give up DJ💪👊
Anotherone of UFCs GOATS finally saw defeat via KO. Question is will Ngannou knock out Jones?🤔
@@llawliet3733 its possible
@@JmJvVlog I hope so
@@llawliet3733 ufc is great at letting fighters go at the right time. Sure, they aren't always right but more often than not the fighters who leave the ufc become irrelevant very quickly.
@@AdamB34 Sometimes its the rulechanges and different Weightclasses, sometimes its Time and sometimes its just the flood of New talents that will give the old guard their first defeat
Very humble in defeat. Flyweight GOAT.
Excellent example of a human at peace.
Mighty Mouse is a true legend!
To be fair, under the unified rules we have here...that would be a blatant dq. I wish DJ well in his recovery
Nothing but repect for this guy!!!! A true blue champion no doubt!! Will go down in history as one of the very best in cage fighting @ the highest level!! Nothing more to prove so just have fun from here on out!!😎🤙
Badass mighty mouse! He supports the rules ,because he knows is more of a challenge. But I do see the size plays a huge role with such a great fighter as Adriano. Whom I'm a fan of also.
One fc rules is not a joke this is better than ufc
All class. i am so down for migthy mouse kickboxing/MT
He's a legend and tells it how it is now all the keyboard commentary about the knee can stop cause he understands the rules and he has nothing to prove to anyone do what ya wanna do 👊👊 fuck the haters
All class. I'm sure DJ can win in a rematch.
After loosing a hotly contested fight against Cejudo he asked to be traded, after loosing to Moraes he again doesn't want the rematch.... Most tough guys Ive ever seen always want to run it back, this doesn't sit well with me, but he does protect his great legacy
