Will DJ become the first man to finish Moraes? Find out on 7 April - LIVE on TNT in U.S. prime time!
I don't mean to underestimate or count Adriano Moraes out just yet, but I have a pretty strong feeling that the Flyweight GOAT Demetrious Johnson will beat him, no matter how narrow the margin may possibly be.
I am so excited to finally get One in the States!!! Honest opinion, One beats UFC in every way.
I hope thunder kid This dream fight 💯❤️❤️
Please match up DJ vs Minowa, both cowards who can't fight and can only hug and roll around.
@@abcdaw22 lol says the guy calling pro fighters cowards from behind a keyboard 😂
DJ is easily one of the greatest fighters of all time. This man is a legend
No question about it
GOAT
The day he retires, he's going to get a lot of calls to be a trainer.
Dana and the UFC showed this legend no respect whatsoever. Idiots
Scramble scramble scramble.. but yea best 125er ever but he’s out of the ufc so he’s irrelevant
one of the most complete fighters ever. Talk about unrelenting pressure.
He is the most complete fighter. Not one of... He is, hands down!
He just does everything right, every fight; the consistency is amazing.
@Lil cruz cruisin cool lol but brad pickett is 1-6 in his last 7 and hasn’t fought since 2017 while DJ is still one of the best in the world 🤣
@Lil cruz cruisin ur trying too hard bro 😭
Yuya's counters and grappling reversals were spectacular. DJ is a machine though. Constant analysis amidst unrelenting pressure until he finds a weakness and punishes his opponent for being anything short of perfect.
Most intelligent and cerebral fighter in the history of combat sports in my opinion. Was the p4p king for a long time 🙌
You just described my ex
@@lambsauce9544 ahahaahaha I been there bro!
Punishes them good, DJ looked angry in there. The meanest looking guillotine I've seen.
Yeah, I would love to Yuya train with camp in the U.S. like MMA Lab or Henry Hooft in Florida. This kid got some serious potential.
I can't believe the UFC let this guy go, I also can't believe fans couldn't get behind DJ. The dude is an absolute stud in fighting and the fans don't even know what they missing. Instead they like cocky fighters who can't seem to win lately, or defend a belt ever.
UFC made a ton of money off Askren and DJ made a bunch of money at ONE so was great for both parties.. and Masvidal became a huge star
Other than the second Cejudo fight, DJ pretty much, demolished the entire flyweight division. It’s hard to root for a guy you know is gonna win 99% of the time. It becomes a Klitschko situation, during Klitschko’s 25 title defense run, Heavyweight boxing was pretty much dead, then Tyson Fury came along.
@@VannTheDawn that's not it. MMA fighting is more about image than the actual fighting. If you're an entertaining guy with lots of charisma, you'll get recognition. Johnson is a great fighter, but he's just lacking badass character
True. They traded him away for Askren who was a bust. Sure, Askren was a nice stepping stone for Masvidal. But that doesn't change the fact that they gave away DJ who is regarded as one of the best fighters in UFC history. He dominated that division until the second Cejudo fight. Dana is a clown and so are the fans who spit on DJ for doing his job.
A stud in fighting. Wait what?
This Yuya guy could bring lots of trouble for UFC fighters too
That’s what I’m saying. Even DJ didn’t wanna trade with him.
@@jezebulls Dj doesn't want to trade with anyone lol
You know some scrub is gonna see this and go -"hed get killed by any top 15 ranked opponents in UFC herp derp"
@@P4PmmaFan oof Ben Askren liked this comment
No
DJ is the man, haven't missed any of his fights since he left the UFC.
I saw his debut, how many fights has he had?
@@jer2689 like 3-4 fights
DJ is the Man but my time is limited. Havent seen a single fight since he left till now.
@@justinx9892 has he won them all ?
@@oogs9114 yes I believe he has
DJ has the fastest scrambling/ grappling/chain wrestling in MMA. There's no transition time, he just instantly cycles through positions & different threat options before u can even react, like a damn computer.
So hes like a real life "hall of famw" difficulty fighter
For real i rewinded like 4 times to just catch all the moves WILD !!
DJ the real goat. Taking on new challenges. No questionable weight cuts. Entertaining ground game. No backing out of fights. No excuses.
Dude's ground game is phenomenal. He makes transitions so fast my brain can't even keep up. I have to re-watch the scrambles 6 times just to understand them, I can't even imagine what it'd be like trying to defend against it.
DJ is the greatest MMA fighter in history. Every single aspect of his skills are fine tuned and deadly. On top of that he is humble and wins with grace. He had to awareness to tell his corner not to lift him up to celebrate at 9:12 because he didn't want to overly celebrate. He's an absolute class act and he will go down in history as the 1 true G.O.A.T.
yea except fking not
Maybe if he stayed in the Ufc and kept winning but he may as well be dead to me now cause who is he fighting nobody's.
Agreed!
@@oscarc503 who do you rate over mighty mouse ?
@@realeyes9055 cejudo....
DJ telling his corner not to lift him up was pure class.
I was wondering why?
@@sadboyneddy4215 Saving it for winning the title I bet.
This guy yuya was a tough dude, Considering he was fighting DJ, One of the best ever to step in the octagon
He made some nice adjustments, then DJ just adjusted more.
DJ the real P4P king one of the most underrated fighters
@Cerebral Daniel cormier hasn't let that stop him
@Cerebral Everyone loses.
@@johkupohkuxd1697 not everyone lol
@@johkupohkuxd1697 what is khabibs record?
@@grimhbrh7610 that’s one person..
Mighty Mouse showing his masteries... it never gets old watching DJ dominate EVERYONE.
Except TRIPLE C
Exactly
@@richardsanchez5126 DJ won both matches imao
@@richardsanchez5126 lol no one counts that split. DJ knocked Cejudo out!! Get Out of here casual!
@@provolonecheese343 a wins a win thats just like saying anyone with a decision win doesn't count
It’s insane mma news outlets don’t cover him anymore. Almost like they blackballed him
Dana White DID blackball DJ
@@laflivluvpeace4836 why tho
@@nopenope5035 Dana never liked DJ. Because DJ is so much better than everyone his size he only gives the effort needed to defeat his opponent without showing them up. Dana likes a mouthy ticket seller. Kinda like the useless fighter he traded DJ for. The only fight Ben Askren has won since joining UFC was a screw job over Robbie Lawler. Seems like Dana would rather have a mouthy loser than a total tactician that just wins...
@@laflivluvpeace4836 That mouthy loser Ben was more interesting than DJ. He promoted himself better and brought more hype to his fights then DJ did. Even though Ben went 1-2 in the UFC, he had more star power than DJ’s whole run in there. As well as being a great technical fighter, you gotta be entertaining as well. I do like DJ, but he’s not an exciting fighter to watch compared to Ben
@@shadez940 this was pretty exciting if you ask me
Experience in facing DJ will be one of Wakamatsu’s best teacher.
Just like it was for cejudo
Absolutely!
More than his skill and athleticism, it’s DJ’s mind. The man flows from each kinetic chain like water.
ONE Championship's fighters are the real deal! They could all contend in the UFC for sure.
too bad Dana likes hype over talent
Not after what Ben askrwn just showed in the ufc
I have always been a Mighty Mouse fan. Him getting released from the UFC was a disappointing day for me. After watching this fight though, hats off to Yuya he's a fantastic fighter. I am looking forward to seeing more of him. Who wins a fight or championship is less important to me than exciting competitive fights and this checked all my boxes.
Why he got release?
@@newbassplayer4005 I believe UFC traded him for Ben Askren.
why are u disappointed? hes not fighting for u bud
@@Akira12974 Because I am a Mighty Mouse fan, and Askren sux so bad he is barely worth watching.
DJ is one of the finest fighters in MMA today. It always baffle me why UFC didn't give him the best recognition he deserves
Because even the UFC higher ups dont want to go to the effort to promote humble respectful classy fighters who fight in the lower weight divisions because they think the reward is not worth the trouble even though the flyweights produce some of the most incredible technical and skillful bouts to a purists eyes. DJ is arguably the most well rounded technically perfect flawless fighter in the history of mma across all weight classes.
@@a-lexanderluthor1334 yup, flyweight nights are not selling as good as heavyweights, even if you would get a lot more purist entertainment for your money in the lighter divisions.
@@a-lexanderluthor1334 yep the ufc is using the WWE blueprint, I am surprised they are on ESPN
@@sldrmedik that’s not the WWE blueprint it’s been the blueprint since combat sports began the bigger you are the more you get paid
I love watching this weight class. Its only barely slower than a cat-fight. Exciting. Almost supernatural.
Still blows my mind how DJ is only just exiting his prime
He can keep fighting a long time because he wins with technical ability and sheer IQ, not speed & power
@@LIONTAMER3D .. yes speed and power as well
DJ is great technically and i'd definitely count is as his primary strength, but he is also extremely fast and agile. reflexes and speed fade first with age and in the lower weigth classes this is even more of an issue. i have no doubt, that MM will continue his greatness, but there has to be a noticable decline sooner or later.
@@LIONTAMER3D feels like he's been around for eber
@@Lousasshol he had speed and power, of course; at that level, they all do. He doesn't rely on them, though. He's got big brain tactics. Look at the size of the cranium: he's diminutive, but has the brain-case of a beluga whale. Just LOOK at it.
Demetrious Johnson was one of the most underrated UFC champs when he was with that promotion. He has one of the most consecutive title defenses in the promotion, and hardly anyone knew him
Mighty Mouse 🐭 is the man! So excited to watch him vs Moraes!
Man! Actually Wakamatsu is good! He's skilled in countering every strike and ground
Yeah... hes actually really good.
just wasn't good enough
The audience pops are amazing . You can tell they appreciate all aspects of the sport
listening to the crowd react positively to the ground game is amazing. watching them cheer as DJ transitions to side control shows they know what is happening
dj is so good that ufc can't handle him
Damm, DJ is a walking legend, with all the money that he made in his career, the fact that he still fights is admirable
@@jonthompson1068 being a legend ain't about the ppv😂
@@fortunatosamuel2520 leave it to casuals to think that being a ppv star means ur a legend lol
@@ghostface8443 fr man, all they know is Connor McGregor😂
@@fortunatosamuel2520 but earning the money is, sadly
@@maximnazarov5000 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
DJ is brilliant. Always great to watch, so smooth and precise. Him and Moraes are the best guys in One.
Reason why I started watching one championship
DJ,GSP and Roid Jones are the most well rounded fighters I've seen.
You are absolutely right, specially Roid Jones.
DJ is the mma p4p best on the planet. Most well rounded fighter there is. Controls the range and rhythm of every fight. Always proactive making his opponents reactive. Young aspiring fighters should look at him and emulate then elevate 🙏🏽☯️
@Cerebral The Cejudo decision was pretty suspect. Cruz did work him though.
OUR CHAMPION WE..here in WASHINGTON STATE love Mighty Mouse. Greatest Martial Artist..of my Generation. I am glad that you stood your ground..and refused to play the game..that the UFC wanted. You stayed true to yourself. And continue to prove...to yourself and the WORLD..what true greatness is. Never have you lied to yourself .and always..have "kept your eye on your opponent, even when you bow."
God both are insanely talented and skilled
Come on. Gotta give it to Yuya for giving his all. But DJ just phenomenal performance.
Well the whole crowd was more for yuya so i think it evens out
Demetry is one of the best light weight in history. He has to be in the house of fame
this is flyweight you spoon haha
It’s the hall of fame spoon boy lol
@@jamescampbell2692 hahahahaha you Buckled me with that
Demetrious, flyweight and Hall of Fame
You absolute spoon
Thank you DJ i havent gotten goosebumps watching a fight in a long time GOAT
This is like a fight between two super heros. Endless cardio plus high levels of wrestling skills. Amazing.
Just imagine if DJ was 6’4” and 250lbs. The guy excels _everywhere_ . There literally isn’t one aspect of his fight game that isn’t stellar.
His name is Jon jones
@@shroomgod1990 No. 😂 Jones is nowhere near as complete a fighter as DJ.
There’s no such thing as “if”. If I was stronger than Goku I’d beat DJ ☹️
@@gabidon4401 That’s why I said “just imagine”.
@@BaresEatBeats WHAT!!!!! Please slap yourself
DJ is practically a GOAT. Very complete elite fighter. Nice Marcelo Garcia style guillotine.
DJ is THE most complete MMA fighter & always a joy to watch. He always been a master at switching stances, attacking & continued pressure. The TRUE pound-4-pound GREAT!
One of the best fights I’ve seen in a while. Hats off to both these athletes
4:13 man!!! that is lightning fast...
Even when he's losing DJ looks like the best fighter who ever lived
@Cerebral moved up for Cruz and triple c didn’t win that fight
@Cerebral dj was a lot younger and when fighting Cruz only trained once a week. Prime DJ would smush Cruz even worse than garbrandt and cejudo did
I remember when DJ hit cejudo with a reverse flying arm bar. Greatest fighter ever
DJ is so good. Glad I found this.
Demetrious is so good! Nice to see Japanese fighters too. Reminds me of the Pride days.
Always ipressive performance by DJ👏💯🙏👊
It's always amazing to watch him fight. Transitions are ridiculous.
DJ quick reactions are out of this world.amazing
Every time I see a fight with DJ I get exhausted, he is soooo full power on 11 😄
We need to clone mighty mouse so we can have 3 DJ vs Francis fight.
Underrated comment
@@jostafanboi He’s just copying what other people are saying recently about several of the same fighters against Francis. People can’t even be original.
@@ShatterTheSkiesAbove underated comment
@@ShatterTheSkiesAbove i see *unlike
First two get ko'ed while the third goes for a rear naked
DJ is my favorite MMA fighter ever, I wish he was still in the UFC.
Mighty Mouses techincal prowess is awe inspiring. Watching him switch guards with ease and his relentless pace is sick. I will say that I think this Yuya kid had a HUGE upside in potential and a fighter I'd like to see more of!
"Locks out moisture, seals in freshness."
DJ...the Man...The Guy...The best 🤜🤛✌️
Great Warrior best strikers ..💪💪
What a great fighter DJ is. His speed, technique, i.q.
Hold on. wait a minute. Let me put some DJ in it. 🔥🔥
Man, DJ is spectacular...
Nice fight DJ .First Time looking at Wakamatsu, pretty interesting fighter 👑👑👑👑
Beast brother! Glad I got to see this on youtube. Competetion looks good over in one tho
So f**kin fast man. That trip by DJ was smexy as hell
The goat of the flyweight division
DJ awesome as always, his opponent was amazing too- great match!
Respect to both fighters That was great💯👏
Interesting that One allows knee to the head of grounded opponent. It makes for more exciting fights.
Yeah, I was wondering about that
It's good no one playing games about getting up old school rules
Great fight! DJ Mighty Mouse!
DJ is electric man. He’s been sooo good for sooo long it’s inspiring
Masterful. Every fight he puts on a clinic.
DJ is incredible!
The competition in ONE is legit!!
Dj is just an awesome fighter always a joy watch him in the Octagon
Love how ONE has the drumbeat the gets faster as the round comes to an end
The best!
Best victory dance ever.
DJ is so quick ! so quick that it seems the video's playing at 1.25 speed.his carrer is incredible, A Beast
Just Amazing👏🏽🙀
DJ does everything right, I swear
Except beat Cejudo
@@TheLastStand001 except he did on the first fight, 2nd one being close.
DJ will prevail!!! 🙌🏼☝️☺️ 🔥
DJ a mma legend. Then also think about the competition in One. We have very talented fighters everywhere.
Excellent performance from Yuya. I’m confident he’ll come back stronger.
8:52 Mighty Mouse with the FFVII victory taunt😂
Knee to a down opponent. Petr Yan must be really sad watching this.
One fc has different rules.
First time for me watching Yuya fight great fighter, but DJ is amazing and impressive like always 👊💥💥💥💥
The very best ever!!!!!!!! Mighty mouse Johnson a MMA legend!!!!!!👊🤙
DJ THE GOAT 🐐
Absolute mastery
"hold on wait a minute let me put some DJ in it!". Oh dear, that was embarrassing.
I like the cornyness it gave me a laugh
This fight was better than anything the UFC ever gave DJ. Holy crap, dude, that was an amazing fight!!! ONEFC has some killers!!!
One of the best of all time! Mighty Mouse!
That guillotine is as impressive as the flying armbar he did on Ray Borg imo. It's from such an unlikely/difficult position to pull off.
and using the cage like that is a top tier IQ decision, I've only seen Jon Jones do that (against Lyoto Machida)
Shame Mighty Mouse slipped into a state of irreverence, even in the UFC, after consistently showcasing his technical prowess, which was the very top of the heap in terms of what's physically possible BTW. I see you Demetrious, respect❗👊
The international audience seems to be so in tuned to all the nuisances of the game. Love watching fights with an exciting and knowledgeable crowd. Doesn’t hurt to watch the Goat DJ 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Great fight!! Wakamatsu is amazing but DJ is just another kind of human
DJ is the greatest of all time
What a great match! Bravo!
“HOLD ON WAIT A MINUTE LET ME PUT SOME DJ IN IT!!!” what a call lol had me weak
This is living proof that the fighters in ONE are world-class legit. DJ had to work in this one. He was on his back at one point. He got seriously pushed.
