"How Much Money I've Made For Being In UFC Video Games!" | Demetrious Johnson BREAKDOWN! 

The fact you aren't a 5 star character is criminal!

let’s all keep using his character 💰 not only am I having fun but one of my favorite ufc fighter is getting paid while I’m having fun, can’t get any better than this 😎

6:00 $25k first time, $12.5k second, $10k front cover, post UFC $25k residuals, total to date $72.5k

Alternate Title: Mighty reminds the UFC to pay him the Schmoney for using his likeness!!!!

Mighty's reason for not fighting Tyson Fury: "No commission would ever sign off on this". Mighty is afraid of no man. G.O.A.T

Favorite flyweight fighter in ufc 5

Bro I play ufc all the time your character in ufc 5 is crazy good they made you a god

I remember using you in UFC Undisputed 3, to make the openweight dream match: Demetrious Johnson vs Stefan Struve

Thats interesting to know that they keep track of how many times a fighter is used in game.

Pay the goat 🐐

it amazes me how humble this man is... met kamaru usman the other day and you mma fighters have all my respect! laying the foundation for future fighters

I love how he appreciates and thanks us for sticking around after every video ❤

That's actually a lot more money than I expected, it makes me wonder what some of the football superstars make from their likeness used in the FIFA games

this is so cool! thank u for showing us bts of this, legend!

I still play as you everyime im in the 125 pound class💪🏽

Love this video DJ. This is something you could have totally played close to the chest and no one would blame you. Such a bro dude, i wish u the best bro.

I think it’s great your channel has gotten so much traction. Much love brother.

You are so real and so lovable. You deserve your success x10. Thanks for all you do. Keep being great to the little guy.

Thanks for letting us know this info going be playing for now on , gotta show some sort of support to my favorite mma fighter 🐐

thanks DJ for creating interesting content 🙌

Might never happen, but I’m tryna see Mighty Mouse 🐐 vs The Cannibal 🔥

I love how level-headed DJ is, with regards to the pay from developers. They pay all fighters, and that stuff adds up. DJ so astute in everything he does Bravo sir, remember this is life-long money coming since he is a legend and will always be a fun character for match ups if he gets 25k a year. Going forward in 20 years, that 500k. This is like a small pension for him

I love this info you gave. It's something i always wondered but never thought anyone would make a video on it.

Great video DJ, thanks for sharing and bringing us behind the curtain.

Your humility and expressed appreciation is unmatched

AYYY good to hear about the popularity thing I use you every time I play any fighting game in fly weight

I want to say Thank you for all the great Fights. You will be Always one of my Favorit fighters. Greetings from Germany

"Making that amount of money without getting punched in the face". I can apply this motto to any job and it's very motivating.

Great video bro. I have always wondered these type of things for games like 2k and Madden but no athlete has ever told us. Thank you for taking your time to tell us brother! You're a Legend! I hope you get 50 from UFC 5

I’m definitely using you every time. 🐐 You never got the shine you deserved, so it’s the least us fans can do now

Respect and love to you for revealing this information that not many people are brave enough to talk about

thank you for your insight on this topic never thought about this but good to know now :)

That's awesome. I was just researching that game today.. I'm pumped to play.

4:09 is is the best part of the video personally for me and my boys. We all standing up doing the Poznań and rewinding it got it on repeat

I love your show. You show me that a world champion fighter could also be humble, considerate, insightful and wise in my humble opinion. You inspire me!

You have a brilliant mind. You could always see that in your fighting but your breakdown here is really informative, and I appreciate the positivity. I do think you are worth much, much more, but you are a legend. Think about it. You will be in every UFC game for decades. You're gonna be cashing a check every year. Well deserved 👏

Cool video. Always such a positive guy

Interesting! I didn’t expect it to work this way

Pretty cool that you got to be on the cover!

i love you more now that your not in the ufc than when you were. your a legend man - Blessings

Love you Dj. One of my favourite fighters. Much love from brazil!

Man thats a cool perk for being in a game. And its a definite boost to the ego when u know how long its bedn sonce u were in the ufc yet people are still choosing to fight as the goat Dj. Aka BLACK ICE!!! MAN 72 K is decent and its nice that the checks keep coming. And fhis also reminds the ufc what they lost when they traded u. But hey God has a plan and it comes good in the end for those who are deserving and u geezer are definitely deserving if every ounce if praise u receive. Really enjoy watching u as ur energy is clean and genuine. Real inspiration to me a liads of others. Wish i hadnt wasted the majority of my life and done something with it. Now km lett with loads of ideas but stuck on hiw to get things rolling and of the ground. Ill keep trying harder if u have any advice. Was on rrugs for 20 years now im clean and im 39 and am starting from absolute scratch.

that's awesome! DJ is the GOAT !

Hi mr Johnson I’m Ben I’m frm the uk and I’d just like to thank you for the hours of fight footage I have and still enjoy with my son who looks to you when he wants to learn by watching you transition , keeping safe on all your exsits and please can I can congratulate you on your latest win at bbj open

Thank you for making this video DJ! I always was confused as to how much you make for the video game appearances, and if you’re paid per game appearance or a one time payment for use of likeness. Thanks for the clarification champ. 😊

This is a cool video, good vibes on this one

i will be using u in ufc 5 every single time. u r one of the most down to earth people nobody deserves it more. god is good🙏🏻

Mighty, sure. Ill do whatever to support you. Youre my absolute favorite fighter. I used your arm bar on a person who said I couldnt pull it off. Your technique in JJ is absolutey 💯 viable. Thank You for being humble, and the best champ ever!

I hope more people choose you now so that you get bigger checks! You deserve it!

Ill never forget watching your ppv the night my daughter was born. The whole hospital heared that ppv! 4-23-2016

Dudes positive outlook is dope

I love the fact how positive and grateful you are considering the „salary“ of the EA Game. I bet every other athlete would just straight up bash the ufc for the little change they’ve received! You the 🐐

Much love DJ. I always use your character

Im low key playing you EVERY TIME now!

Great video idea!

Thanks for letting us know, we get so little info about this business and a lot of the media is we are stuck with these days are unreliable at best

You're the goat, forever in my book

I really miss the boxing games. They used to be soo damn good. The last one was for the 360 and its on gamepass. Still holds up and blows most out the water.

So glad we have contributed to this by picking you

I think it's very cool and very modern, and futurstic to talk about this.

Coming from the EA UFC community, we needed this video. Thank you!

Love you dj. The goat

I have played all the ufc games and I was so mad when they took out your mighty wiz bar that move was so good on ufc 3

Enjoying playing ufc video games

thanks dj, gonna start playing more rounds with my favourite fighters so the homies stay paid.

you are an amazing person all around.

Let’s go. 100k views coming up

I love his perspective on the payout. It’s a passive stream of income. That being said, he’s one of the goats so you can imagine we’re somewhere near the ceiling of what a fighter might make off a game. Dope insight. 🙌🏽

Man I would love to see you do a simulation gameplay of you playing as yourself 🔥.

Have a nice day DJ 💪😉

This man is the GOAT! I think he's the greatest combat athlete to ever do it period. It's not just what you do in the Octagon or ring. It's the way you are outside of it. DJ is an example of what to strive for without cheating or using PEDs. I truly look up to this man

I Gotchu @Mighty15x I’ll keep using you when I go on ufc 🤛🏼 LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA 💯🔥

Yo DJ, I remember I suggested that it'd be dope to watch your reaction to high lvl EA UFC players and you told me "you didn't do any ufc content but I could go over to Henrys channel" now since somethings changed, I'm back once again to ask/suggest if you could do a breakdown/reaction to some high lvl gamers that play ufc 5. Btw the Sandhagen pod was dope!

Everyone use the character as much as possible. Easy way to support

very unfortunate how rare that icon edition is now. Would love to score a copy one day

The Goat 🔥

I have never heard of another fighter.....putting this personal info out....THanks Mighty....ya little Truther...

Imagine DJ doing motion capture of each individuals fighter style in a future game 🔥

Very interesting, I would love to see how they go about it with EA FC 24. Good content 👌

Something that I think would be great for the flyweight divisions street cred would be if you did a collab video with Brian Shaw where you do a jiu jitsu match with him He was spending some time learning mma recently so offering to teach him some stuff would be cool

MM is my MMA GOAT. No caveats, no BS. Dude is the greatest IMO.

No shit im picking you every time for now on brotha 💯 LEGEND

I had no idea what fighters got for being in those video games so great video thanks

Fire. Can’t complain, was there any negotiation?

Fawk the UFC management for not promoting this legend as he deserved!

imagine if DJ was still in UFC with such gameing attitude it would be huge for the ufc game and its promotion

I wish they used you to for motion capture for the latest version of EA UFC. You’re so good at mimicking the fighter’s movements that you could bring more personality & individuality to each fighter. There’s pretty much only a couple of jabs, hooks, standard kicks & postures etc so every fighter feels like a copy paste of 4 different characters

DJ vs Fury just made my day

DJ so Smart, this video gon wanna make everyone in ufc 5 play as him 😂 that next check funna be 50k

cool video man

Some companies like toyo tires or dominos pizza or whatever company u know spends good $$ on marketing are probably paying almost Millions to have their logo in gamea in the background, and you're getting paid to be in it, if I was a non-top 15 rank fighter and they told me I could cough up 15 grand of my own $$ to be in the game I would pay 15 grand in that range any money to be IN would be worth it for ur brand, to be IN a video game and be a very liked character and get paid is fucking awesome! There's hundreds of Fighters if each of them were making hundreds thousands of dollars the game would not even break fucking even on their expenses!! Great content this is a special channel fr to be such a celebrity in a niche and to have a down to earth channel is rare nowadays 🎉🎉

you deserve it man

you're extremely humble, love that. I'll be honest I didn't know who you were. Will you be fighting in the UFC again?

The Math isnt mathing but good for u being grateful

I literally use you everytime I play Mouse glad to know you’ve gotten paid from it

I use dj in ufc5 more then anyone else,i seem to win the most with him..goat in the game and irl

He was pretty damn good in that legend pack in ufc 4

Demetrius is such a positive guy and a good role model. Most fighters would look at it like they are not getting paid enough. But Demetrius is not like everybody. He knows how to appreciate things and look at life in a positive way.

You really should have a talk on your podcast with gsp, your mind work alike and it show!

MM, big fan. Just watching this video shows how amazing you are even in a facts fyi vid...stay blessed
