Mighty Mouse… a hall of famer the UFC has tried to erase. 🐐
Just like CM Punk
@Ketchupdodge no competition or was he just so much better than the rest?
Have never understood that. How have they tried doing that? He did beat everyone but did not get the numbers. So they traded him for Chandler or was it Ben🤔. Win win no?
@Ketchupdodge thats not even a argument, ufc aims to get good fighters..
@Ketchupdodge He beat Henry Cejudo who has went up to bantamweight and beat some of the best guys that ever fought there. I don’t think you can discredit him saying he hasn’t fought good competition
Probably one of the classiest smartest fighters in the UFC. Great advice.
Against Dominic Cruz he looked like an idiot. I'm not really sure weight had too much to do with it.
@@listenup7284 he wasn't training full time. He was working construction and training two times a week at the time. His head coach convinced him to stop working and focus on mma.
@@danawhitesneckfat1706 Right I'm sure that was the reason. Always an excuse like TJ dillashaw.
@@listenup7284 there's pictures of him at construction sights lol. He also said this during his first JRE visit. But hey, let's listen to you lmao
@@danawhitesneckfat1706 he also lost to Henry cehudo and some dude at one championship but yeah lets pretend he has anything in other champions.
I don't think I've seen Joe be THAT engaged in a conversation in a while. Such a good episode!
Oh he loves Mighty Mouse lol. Joe Argus he's the Greatest of all time P4P
@@watkinsjames82 always mind blows me how someone can say mighty mouse is pound for pound, don't get me wrong height means nothing if the smaller dude has the experience but let's say Jon Jones Vs mighty mouse, he doesn't even stand a chance , weight and height come into play when skill level is matched
@@D-A-A- I think you've misunderstood the principle of p4p
@@ImagoofybaII I thought pound for pound meant like anyone from any weight category, what does it mean ?
@@D-A-A- It's meant to just be based on pure skill & dominance, it was introduced in boxing to bring some shine to lighter weight classes
he never stops being entertaining
He main evented the least selling PPV in UFC history so I don’t know about that.
@@colin6603measuring entertainment by ppv is pretty embarrassing lol
Sad to see the UFC pretty much remove this guy from the records they never talk about him. Definitely in contention for the G.O.A.T title
Why did the UFC do that to him? Do you know?
@@joby2174 Essentially DJ was too fucking good so the UFC said they couldn't promote him because he was so dominant it made fights uninteresting. Also that was on top of him being a nice dude who doesn't talk trash, which rarely makes you rich.
@@joby2174 Literally because he Is a tiny man. Competition wasn't really all that also.
Who cares? There are first responders and people who save lives out there....Nobody ever acknowledges them or talk about them. They are the real Goats
@@liamnissanS2K that “tiny man” could knock you down, jump on your back, and choke you tf out
I think letting go of ALL of that pressure is a good thing. Often times overthinking/overstressing is a very costly burden. Of course training and staying in shape is part of the job but min/maxing the literal life out of life is exhausting and I think after a point you really are just better off taking a step back and reassessing things. Always wish DJ the best. Man is a legend and a truly great representative of the sport in every way.
Such a humble guy, love this dude.
I never forget this man who fights fiercely in UFC Octagon.. God bless Mighty Mouse.
100%! This man is a gentleman, scholar and absolute beast of an athlete who is truly a ferocious, terrifying fighter.
My sister died at 20 year's old when I was 16. It destroyed my mother for a loooong time. Still I see her struggle over 10 years later.
Sorry to hear man, couldn’t imagine losing my two younger sisters I’m 21 and they are 4 and I’ve never felt so protective over any people in my life
It does get easier but it never goes away. 💚
My sister passed 2 years ago, we were the closest of 4 siblings, our parents weren't there growing up and our 2 older siblings weren't really around so it was just us growing up. I still can't believe she's gone, I'm still struggling to live through this.
I hope comfort and ease continue find their way to her, and you as well. Wish you all the best. 💛
@@ryanplummer448It'll take time for sure. It never goes away, just gets easier to live with. I hope you continue to be ok man, make sure take care of yourself and do grieve/take a moment whenever you need. 🙏💛
I love DJ he is so fascinating and such a great down to earth to dude absolute gem of a person and that isn't including what he has done in the octagon.
You can tell the respect Joe has for DJ the way he listens an pays close attention DJ is 100% on of the 🐐 of MMA
An emotionally present fighter is always the absolute best athlete
Same as GSP
Explain Jon Jones then
This dude's the real Goat that nobody is talking about
So much humility and wisdom, a truly great example of a champion.
From what I’m going through in life right now this is exactly what I needed to hear today. God bless you Joe Rogan and god bless you DJ. Thank you for a new “angle” 📐 at life
Nicholas I hope you overcome whatever you are facing at the moment and are in an even better situation when all is said and done. Keep your head up.
Keep your head up bro. Every day is a new opportunity.
Mighty Mouse is the most under respected champion of all time
The fuck is happening with these bot replies to OP?
@@rosalind1635 guy probably forgot to log out from his scammer account.
Facts
Him and Stipe
@niharg2011 the ufc says stipe is best heavyweight with DJ nothing
How can you not respect that man and everything he's accomplished? He's a true role model. When I show my kids DJ's videos I tell them he's one of the few people that truly inspire me to be a better person.
I already was a DJ fan but now I just want to have a beer with the guy and talk about life. He’s the best ever
One of the best to ever do it.
Mighty Mouse is the NUMBER ONE pound for pound best fighter of all time. His resume is undeniable. Funny how people throw around these other names but forget about the real GOAT. Absolutely adore everything about him.
A little guy like him can’t be considered the goat. He’s a dwarf.
And he never needed steroids! Khabib retired the same year Russia got banned from the Olympics!
Never really got any motivation from Yt clips, but this one finally got me to go out and do cardio at the gym. Thanks DJ & Joe, this clip helped me out in a big way.
invaluable. Thank you Dj, Joe and Jamie.
I have a new respect for Mighty Mouse. Seems very down to earth and genuine.
Pain is part of the human existence... we will all lose someone will love, and we will all die eventually.
Love it. Thank you for being real DJ
DJ still in my G.O.A.T list. He had done so many things for the sport of MMA, but he still ignored by the casual fans and Dana. In the 2nd fight with Adriano; he proved he is the GOAT
Great to hear that he has a healthy way of dealing with all of this ! Such a Great guy
What a cool guy. I like him even more after this interview
I understand exactly what he means, when my sister passed it’s like I lost track of time. It didn’t feel relevant to me anymore, just the concept of life in its entirety mattered to me and how I spend my life living it
Massive amount of respect for that man.
DJ is a great person. He is an amazing role model for the upcoming fighters.
DJ Love ya...Miss ya....Baby GOAT....I personally want to say this to you Mr. Rogan, thank for not interrupting, and letting your guest speak, it is so helpful and allows us to see the real person...Now get back to work...Love ya Joe...
Mighty mouse is one of the best MMA fighters of all time!!
We love and support you DJ!! Ur a true 🐐
Great content joe keep it up 🔥
Thank you Mighty Mouse for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. I appreciate this man
DJ is the greatest! Such an enjoyable podcast, really good.
What impressive insight to share and so inspiring to hear the progress someone can make even at his age and after achieving so much. Perfectionism can be so helpful but so destructive too and it’s a good message to be aware of that.
I’m so proud of this guy he’s a true living legend
So relatable. When you laughing you forget all your problems anyway. Who cares if the situations perfect, it doesn't have to be.
I fucking love this dude 😂 not only is he one of the most underrated ufc fighter his yt is actually really entertaining
This man is a living legend
I can listen to DJ all day, he makes so much sense, massive respect!
I love DJ - he earned his spot as being in the conversation of 🐐
I love this guy pound for pound and that ain't much he's probably best fighter ever. He's so down to earth here, he just doesn't seem like a pro fighter. And that attitude will calm his life as I am sure he found out. Great clip.
What a gentleman, scholar and absolute beast of an athlete who is truly a ferocious, terrifying fighter.
100% needed to hear this. Self-induced pressure seems to be destroying lives left and right, mine included.
Demetrius - given me the most entertainment & appreciation for Martial ARTS in action - Thank you!! Cheers from Seattle 🍻
DJ is one of my all-time favorite fighters - not just for his accomplishments and entertaining fights, but also as a person. He's always been cool, casual, doesn't use sh%t-talking and trolling or WWE antics, doesn't bad mouth families and people, very articulate and highly intelligent. I like guys like Chael, Colby, the Diaz Brothers, etc. too, but it doesn't mean that I can't like something different than that. I'm happy for him that he's continuing to have success in MMA and life.
So true. So many people chase this dream and rather give up or they don't appreciate each day and the present. We all will die, do what makes you happy and enjoy life
As someone once said, no one has ever been on their deathbed wishing they’d worked more. Demetrious is amazing both inside and outside the cage.
A true legend. 🙌🏼👏🏼🔥
I went through a similar Awakening when my sister died. There is something about losing a loved one that was far too young that makes you realize what is truly important in life.
love dj always genuine
Thank u for bringing this perspective forward mighty mouse!
needed to hear that today
Demetrious Johnson was always my favorite fighter
He will never get the credit he deserves because he was a flyweight. He's one of the most talented martial artists of all time
Glad we got this
Trying to be perfect is attempting to focus on everything. Better to focus on what matters for the goal. Love this.
DJ is the GOAT of MMA and the more he’s still accomplishing the less people are able to deny it
It was a great story, good he is sharing this.
It’s called “Growth”. Sometimes it takes a person a lifetime to almost grow and others bloom earlier. The hope is that regardless of when it happens, we should all want to Grow. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that we have changed for the better. We are all gonna die at some point and hopefully in the course of our lives, we grow. I’m wishing Everyone Growth, Happiness and a Full Life.
I love this dude. MMA legend.
My deepest condolences on your loss 💐
Glad one of the GOATS can enjoy themselves
Amazing fighter. One of the best ever in my opinion. Also, seems like a super nice guy.
It's good that DJ is letting the steam off. The pressure was good when he was younger. It made him the GOAT. Now that he's older he gets to reap to fruits of his labor and do the things he loves.
Awesome convos The reason I like watching JRE
I needed this
Respect brother 💪🙂👍 You are on your way to enlightenment
The absolute GOAT.
great interview
What a great dude!
A Legend to the sport of MMA. GOATED
Man I got to watch this fight live in Singapore, amazing performance by DJ!
Amazing episode
A GOAT and most under-appreciated champion in UFC history.
With age comes wisdom. Sorry for the lose of your sister man.
Self-reflection can be life changing. Good for Mighty Mouse.
One in-touch, smart human being right there.
Glad to see him taking some time to enjoy himself. He is a legend, would love to see him back in the UFC
Same
DJ is the goat. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
my all time favorite fighter
Awesome speaker as well
“ Happiness is perceiving and dealing with reality on reality’s terms“ Basically the attitude of every day can suck and I’m OK with that because it won’t affect me at my core
Ive personally engaged with Mighty mouse on his channel several times. He is truly a good dude and about as normal as one could be given the heights he's reached. To me, he's the GOAT
Sorry for your loss dj
The Real GOAT, so underrated and such a class act, we need more athletes like Mighty Mouse!
Love seeing this growth and shift in him and within his mentality.
Oh man..miss those 1 plus hour podcasts!
Such a humble champion 👊
Dude is a goat and when he is done fighting he can easily have a career streaming on Twitch. He already has a large fanbase on his Twitch channel already.
DJ one of the BEST EVER,EVERRRRR!!!
My favorite fighter ever 👍🏻
Let's F-kin Go. Diving in right now
I can relate, I had a same perfectionist stress revelation and sense of life revelation
Let go of being perfect, and created the most perfect ko in history next to Barbosa spinning head kick. Masterful!
what a comeback that was wow
Love this guy
