Its insane how good he is . He has proved he can change his gameplan entirely depending on the opponent , and achieve the same results . This fight wasn't even close , Johnson completely outclassed Reis , who is no joke , in every form of martial arts the fight ventured into . His movement on the feet is incredibly quick yet subtle , you literally cannot touch him with anything . This guy weighs 125 pounds but moves like a strawweight , he is by far the p4p best in the world , maybe in history .
lmao I look at Ries's face and was like dam they must of went to war and then I see DJ's face and he didn't look like he broke a sweat and was a happy as if didn't even fight at all freaking hilarious
Demetrious Johnson vs. Joseph Benavidez UFC 216 on September 9th 2017, Toronto, Ontario, Canada It makes too much sense, DJ would be going for his record 11th Title Defense, in the Arena he won the title, against the man he fought to first win the title, 2 weeks away from being exactly 5 years with the title
Aran L MM is amazing but who is a serious threat in that division. When you're that small the margin for error is HUGEEE cause these guys aren't throwing heavy punches
Ehh... i got respect for dj but he is in a division of nobodies. Simply not a marketable enough individual. No one wants to see tiny dudes peck at each other.
+Jamie Marmion Brian Stann asked him if he wanted to do next: defend his belt and break the record, or move up to face Garbrandt or Dillashaw. His answer was "we break it."
Exactly! Look at how incredible DJ is as a fighter. If he were believed that he was fighting nobodies, why would he be so good? DJ has just evolved his game to the point where he can beat just about every style. Remember that people said Rousey had no competition in her division as well, and then we all saw what happened to her.
Joe Lates The division has very good fighters, but is not competitive like other divisions, he should move up to Bantaweight and face the winner of CG and TJ
Plexiun well it's a lot harder to find competition for someone in the 125 division than someone in 170 or 185. His last 2 defences were against bums.Elliot got his ass whooped the first time he was in the UFC and got cut.And reis got beat in bellator and in the UFC his last 3 wins were not against the best . He beat Ortiz and two unranked bums .one of those lost 2 of his last three fights.So it's not hard to see why people are calling his opponents bums.Dj is one of the best no doubt but he isn't the goat
kalikalla43 he barley had 11 days to box, also drank some alcohol on a yacht a day before the call. You know he was high asf also because thats the stoner Diaz brothers. No excuse conor have some serious accuracy on his punches and very smooth and still lost at 196!
André Amorim no Silva is not number 1 Fedor, Jones, and GSP beat way better guys than that ped addict check there resumes and Jon could be one aswell will see how he does with usada, but right now Jones, Fedor, GSP
someone I won't consider him as true GOAT for me the goat is prime Silva or JBJ. But DJ is definitely up there as one of the best. I won't take those 10 title defenses for granted. I won't doubt his place as p4p #1 in the rankings considering he is a very dominant champ. But anyways if you have a different opinion than me that's fine mate. A lot of people have different opinions. Thanks for sharing yours :)
what about the failed drugs test, doesnt that kinda cast a shadow on the 10 (or 11) title defences? First time in the dudes life he was tested outside of competition he failed for multiple banned substances (three if i remember correctly). All a bit too shady imo
It's so satisfying to see the crowd going crazy for this guy. It may have taken a while but maybe he's finally getting the respect he deserves as one of the GOAT. Much respect to the P4P king.
He is going to be the best UFC Champ, bar none, out of all UFC Champs in the UFC, EVER, when he leaves the UFC ! Mighty Mouse is the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Props to him.
someone Come on now, he can only beat who is opposite him in the cage, he's cleared out his weight class. End of story, guys a fuckin straight samurai.
To understand how good Dodson is, you must realize how easily he dispatched almost everyone in the weight class. To understand how good DJ is, you must remember how he dominated Dodson. DJ dominated the field as good or better than the other champs dominated their field. DJ made the opposition look bad. Plain and simple
stop UFO fakes but if that weight class has bums init would it still make them the goat? Because they beat 50 bums? Would that mean there better than the guy who beat 20 big names?
Dj should be getting at least 3 million dollars per fight. HEY DANA PAY DEMETRIOUS 7 FIGURES WTF IS GOING ON. Jeez he is the best in the world (after Anderson Silva in my opinion) for fucks sake pay the best as the best
Man i love this guy, he always delivers but you gotta understand...his division really is a weak division. He is great fighter in a very weak division, you gotta look at the whole thing. Silva and GSP were at MUCH MUCH more serious divisions because they had so many incredible fighters in their division. I like mighty mouse and i hope he breaks the record because he is a great dude and i respect him, but you gotta look at the whole picture.
90% or more of all males literally couldn't compete at this weight if they tried, the pool is so god damn shallow it's nearly impossible to even find an adult male that has an athletic build at 125 pounds, let alone one that competes in mma. Most organizations don't even have a weight class like this because there's aren't guys to put in it.. this guy weighs around the same as my girlfriend I literally don't know anyone who could even cut weight to fight him!
Demetriuous Johnson is a true legendary champion, 10 consecutive title defenses and he finished his last opponent, history has been made... and in violent fashion! And still!
Its beautiful to watch the father/son relationship he has with Matt Hume and how he gives all the credit to that coaching staff at AMC. Not only is he a savage, but also so humble in victory. 🐐
didn't watch the match but clicked this vid as soon as i saw it dj scared the shit out of me.... that face at the beginning that he does.... man looool i thought he lost
Pound for pound 1 means that person is the "best" at fighting and mighty mouse is the best at fighting. His overall MMA game is more complete than anyone else, even Jon Jones.
He goes from Mighty Mouse to Mighty GOAT. Devoid of all hyperbole, Demetrious Johnson is EASILY pound for pound the greatest MMA fighter & champion to ever live! Congrats DJ! #MightyMouseIsKING #10xChamp
Demetrious is the P4P best in the world. But he will always be a midget so it just doesn't matter. He can't be taken seriously because he will never be able to be champion in another weight class. Can you imagine him against Garbrandt? He would be knocked out in the sixth row seats.
Quick reminder that MM lost to Dominick Cruz and Garbrant clearly beat Cruz. Garbrant is very very fast and very strong. He would squash MM. No disrespect to MM. He's the best at his weight class hands down but not P4P. Not even close for the reasons i stated earlier.
