- čas přidán 5. 06. 2024
- Why do the fighters think Demetrious Johnson is the greatest? Yet, he public never gave him the credit he deserves. Perhaps if we just knew his story and brilliance, he would be appreciated and respected.
Tune in to what could be his last fight at @ONEChampionship on May 5th.

Demetrious Johnson: The Man the UFC Erased
The UFC's Biggest Failure | Demetrious Johnson Documentary - Sport
What do you think about Demetrious Johnson's story and the path he chose? For me, it's deeply inspiring.

Maybe it's just an illusion but the interesting thing is that Demetrious in ONE in his weight class looks smaller than his opponents.
@@radekl.5982 Mighty Mouse!
Demetrious Johnson is the very well rounded martial artist. The reason he always look small in One FC is because UFC & OFC weight class range is a little bit off and it happened that DJ is almost always at the bottom of the weight range. In One Championship however DJ can easily find more opponents of his size.
Pardon me for asking this... are you Japanese?
He chose the right path for legacy
It takes great character to stay true to martial arts in this era. He deserves much more credit.
it's true brother
DJ is really cool. He streams here on youtube when he play games and he interact with people who writes in the chat even if they dont donate money (which is something many streamers do, only respond to those who donate)
But he does have much more buzz and notoriety once you get out of the US fight fan crowd.
I think this is a big reason I'm starting top love One more and more. They actually promote DJ and they promote without making it into a soap like the UFC has been becoming
@satoshi what does that have to do with anything? Did you read his comment?
DJ might not have gotten much attention throughout his career, but I think that his story will only get more famous over time. In 5 or 10 years from now, he will be regarded as one of the goats. There are lots of people that don't get the respect they deserve until years later.
I really hope so
@@LawrenceKenshin you're the man! Keep up the great work my friend. I've been a fan of your videos for a very long time! We all really appreciate the work you do
@@joet81
@@joet81 Van Gogh was a nobody untill...
He won't be regarded as one of them, he already is. In 5-10 years, I hope everyone will consider him the GOAT
His skill and talent are legendary, but his humility and clear head stick out as well. Dominant cage fighters are high risk for sociopathic tendencies, but I can't remember a moment of that from DJ. I don't even mind fighters being that way, he's just such an outlier. Very rare human.
the rarest, deserves so much respect for that.
“Dominant cage fighters are high risk for sociopathic tendencies.”
All due respect, I’m pretty sure you just made this up lol. How many studies have you seen with any evidence supporting this claim? Seems very outlandish to me.
@@Webbie2689 why do you think he’s wrong?
Absolutely
@@Webbie2689 lol gsp sucked ass mighty mouse 10x better
Sportsmanship, bravery, power, respect for others, hard work, and appreciation of what matters. That's why we love this sport when legends perform it. Great story
yessss
And let's be honest...it's not just the martial arts world where it pays to be flashy - it's entertainment in general.
Look how disrespected Nikola Jokić is by 90% of the NBA media. By far the best player of the last 5 years.
Same for Tim Duncan. People call them boring because they aren't ostentatious.
I met DJ at blizzcon randomly while walking around, he was super cool
That’s awesome
Not just a great mixed martial artist, but a genuinely great human being. He alongside GSP is one of the cleanest and nicest fighters out there. A True role model. Thanks for being an inspiration.
much love
@@LawrenceKenshinCan you make a video on Khabib ?
That throw into an arm bar was probably one of the greatest moves I personally have seen a martial artist perform the transition in mid air was like a real life matrix move.
🔥🔥
And he did that in a world championship fight, while about to make history.
Thought this was going to be a pure breakdown video, was pleasantly surprised to see it had some documentary elements. Loved how you highlighted and contrasted DJ's character and morality against so many other MMA champions. I feel like he has been getting more and more attention as of late after being shunned from the spotlight during his reign of dominance in the UFC, with fighters and commentators alike bringing him up more and more, so it gives me hope that in due time, he will be rightly remembered as the greatest MMA fighter of all time, both inside and outside the ring.
🙏🙏
Why you gottta make me cry Lawrence? Mighty Mouse GOAT!
i cry too, i cry too
@@LawrenceKenshin BTW You're one of the GOAT's of martial arts breakdown, thanks for the content.
One of the best to ever do it!
In my opinion, he has some of if not the best fight IQ in MMA history.
Truly, Mighty Mouse is one of the greatest MMA fighters ever.
Yes he deserves a lot more love
this has to be one of your deepest episodes yet. made me a much bigger fan of Demetrious Johnson. So many things I didn't know, what a legend! Thank you Lawrence Kenshin
Thanks so much jack
Agreed.
@@t.c.9978
This is why I love One FC. The best fighters are truly the best. Not just getting fights based on their trash talking. There's so much respect among the fighters. I think they truly have the best athletes in combat sports........ besides saenchai and buakaw, that is.
Oh yeah that's what Makes one championship better than UFC
@@jalenikezeue4114 100%
I love DJ. I think he was completely wasted in the UFC, and is now finding his true dharma within ONE.
🙏🙏
the ufc and dana white made mighty mouse..the title should be the fighter dana white made. 😂 these videos are all so weird. like the ufc did him wrong or somehow did something bad lol😂if it wasn't for dana white literally no1 wld know who mighty mouse is. this stuff only comes from the entitled liberal types who are jealous of ppl like dana who build things and makes thousands of ppl rich and famous. lol mighty mouse even agrees with that. he said if it wasn't for the ufc and dana white he wldnt have been an mma fighter.
Only in MMA this is a issue.
In boxing you don't care where the fight is held at you care about the boxer. I don't know where this shit is coming from but it's making it elitist mentality. In football every top teams does face each other in mandatory tournaments in. Ufc one island mentality is the down fall and majority of people following the combat sports for 20 years knows that ufc fighters can be beat just like any other fighter respective league. The sport imo would benefit rival leagues. Now we do have abundance of top leagues around the world. Ufc benefit from regional league and international talent they need it.
We seen when they their talent it flobs like cm punk. Only the pioneer of ufc fighters did well but far from elite like randy couture to chuck Liddell. Eventually got beat by international talent.
Love Demetrius, such a class human being, no bs, pure professionalism and class and on top of that, the best ever to step in the cage. People love seeing big boys, but DJ always delivered. He's the GOAT imno.
🙏🙏
Been a huge fan since he fought Jon Dodson, that was a banger!
that was a great fight!
Dodson had him in the first fight until he gassed.. the speed of Mighty Mouse and the magician in those two fights (particularly the first) was spectacular.
Greatest to ever do it. Humble family man with intense warrior spirit and massive success in the ring. Already loved this guy but your video painted an even more vivid picture. Thank you Lawrence for your hard work
Thanks so much 🙏
Mighty 🐁is a very humble person and the Best pound For Pound mix martial artist ⭐ 🙏🏿⭐
This was just AWESOME.D.J.is the G.O.A.T.not for just fighting but overcoming life's adversities too. You don't need to be loud and obnoxious to be the baddest. I love his coolness. I love watching the events ONE Championship have and the respect of the athletes towards each other. The hydration testing tells me they care about their fighters. As matter of fact,I quit watching the ufc fights.
thanks for sharing bruce
I remember seeing one of Mighty Mouse' last fights in the UFC ... he basically like jumped this guy into in armbar mid air. Def one of most intelligent and creative fighters i've ever seen. I wondered where he went, thanks for making this!
Good timing on this video. There's a good chance he retires after his championship fight on Friday
yes we need to treasure it
@@LawrenceKenshin agreed!
I knew his story, but seeing you honoring him like this brings a tear to my eye. Thank you for giving him acknowledgement he deserves ❤
Until he fought Rodtang I had no idea who he was, but will definitely be following from now on - Mighty Mouse deserves mad respect.
Rodtang was doomed to lose that fight. It was over before it began, because Rodtang never trained wrestling/grappling.
I have huge respect for both fighters. Rodtang should fire his agent, or whoever talked him into agreeing to a fight with that set of rules.
DJ is truly one of the greats...small in stature but a giant in talent, ability and spirit. It's sad that he hasn't gotten the recognition that he deserves. Loved the video, Lawrence Kenshin.
thank you
Some times the fans don't know what they want
In part it was because of us fans for maybe DJ being traded. Smaller weight divisions wasnt popular for viewers at the time, me included in there. Kicking myself for learning so late, but we're here now, with DJ as one of the greatest to do it.
Yes I appreciate him so much at the moment after learning his story
the most true warrior off our time
i agree
Thank you for making this content mate. DJ is the greatest fighter of all time, but not only that, he is a true modern day example of a stoic warrior. Inspiration for all.
🙏🙏
Vamos! 🎉 Another masterpiece by master Kenshin!
Thank for you watching Jose
Thankyou lawrence for highlighting such a humble warrior another fantastic video
Much love 🙏
I appreciate you bringing light to Dj's story and sharing his career, I was unaware of how much of a legend he is.
Pumped up for the upcoming fight. DJ will always be numero uno
Yess
I had the privilege to be able to meet and learn from "Mighty Mouse" Johnson, arguably the GOAT of MMA, and one of the most underrated UFC champions with one of the longest title defenses, and current ONE Flyweight Champion, in what was apparently his first seminar since COVID-19 on October 1st, 2022! This man has been praised by Joe Rogan, Dominick Cruz, Tyron Woodley, Georges St-Pierre, Jorge Masvidal, even Henry Cejudo, and has given Dominick Cruz and Henry Cejudo some of their hardest fights, and it's clear to see why! He is so explosive and SO SMOOTH! Not only that, he's a cool guy and a great role model, and he's got jokes! Thanks to Coach Joshua Peters and College Park Mixed Martial Arts for this great opportunity, and for my teammate Barry Barrientos for giving me that extra nudge to try it out! Moral of the story is stay balanced while trying to disrupt the opponent's balance, and use the body's natural and efficient movements to make smooth and subtle transitions based on the opponent's reactions! Had no idea this next fight would be his retirement fight, looking forward to it!
Also shoutout to DJ's teammate, fellow ONE Championship fighter, and one of my American Wushu heroes James Yang, student of former Shanxi Wushu Team member Li Tianyuan (aka Xianghua from SoulCalibur who was in turn a student of Grandmaster Zhang Lingmei, one of the coaches of fellow former Shanxi Wushu Team member and champion Yuan Wenqing), went from Wushu (both Taolu and Sanda) to AXFC Champion, one of the few complete American Wushu practitioners! Happy to see his success in ONE Championship as well! 🙂
The ray borg armbar and moreas knee are so unforgettable
🔥🔥
Very inspiring, thank you for honoring this great humble man. Your breakdowns are the best in the business!
🙏🙏
Ur videos always make me feel some typa emotion lol ..the truth about selling ur soul..dj is a good dude..a real mans man with oldschool morals
thank you kyle
When he said people don't watch him cause he's boring and nerdy.
To those people, go watch WWE if you need drama/entertainment.
There is nothing boring about the way might mouse fights. It's fucking art.
🔥🔥
Ooh I’m looking forward to this one…
thank you for watching jordon
This guy is pure fighter
and martial artist, even
He didn't say much but
his action did it all❤
Demetrius Johnson👏🏻
One Championship✨
Love your work Mr. Kenshin. This story has me wondering why you're not more popular as well! Maybe telling people DJ is gonna lick them if they don't subscribe is having the opposite effect 😂
Maybe I'm an unrecognized talent like Demetrious Johnson.
Great Show. The GOAT ROPES! 🐐
Thank you
Kindness and gratitude are so sexy. Thank you for featuring one of the more humble fighters
Very high skill. Europe and USA much prefer heavyweight for MMA and Kickboxing. Many don’t appreciate smaller fighter like Asia does. Better for him at ONE
I've just gained so much more respect for this man. Thank you for shedding light on his story.
I have seen hundreds of videos but none with the level of technical analysis shown in this one. THANK YOU
Guys we all need to tune in and help the expansion of ONE FC in norrth america the UFC needs more competition in the west!
🔥
Humble quite fighters attract quite respectful fans. We love dj and been following his journey for years, he’s a real champ.
Intro is incredible another great video kenshin-sama
thank you carlos
What a competitor, ambassador, role model... all of it. Hearing how the true fight insiders and fans speak of him is brilliant. Love this guy.
Awesome vid! Thank you!!!
Cheers all!
Thanks for making this content. I'm a huge fan of DJ and after this have become an even bigger fan. He fits better in one championship, an organization that treats its fighters with more respect.
I sat on the toilet the whole time, great video
hahahaha
That was a beautiful video. DJ is such a good role model. Thanks.
Very good editing and story telling. I’m super impressed!
Brilliant mini-documentary. I will definitely be watching the next episode. Thanks Lawrence.
Always enjoyed him, no idea why he not get more respect. He freaking rocks! I wish I could move like him and luv his humble attitude. Fight nerds respect him, who cares what mainstream knuckle head thinks. Dana did him wrong..
So skilled!
Dude your break the fights down better than any other channel, killer stuff. DJ is the goat imo, such a role model and so amazingly impressive in every fight.
Awesome thing is DJ will definitely end up watching this. Another absolute masterpiece summary from Mr. Kenshin. You're a true legend of the community.
Excellent job as always!
Hey thank you for your videos man !!
Congrats! Great video!
This is an amazing video. You did a fantastic job, I hope DJ recognizes this.
For a dude who loves combat sports but doesn’t know a lot about the technicals your videos are very informative. Great work!
What a beautiful, touching story. Thanks for this. Im compelled to be more like Demetrius
Demetrious Johnson's the undisputed MMA Flyweight GOAT and one of MMA's P4P all-time greats
He's much more than a great fighter, he's a great human being... Thanks a lot for that special vid man ! :)
That counter the starts the finishing sequence was one of the best counter straights I've seen period.
Best Fighter Ever
🔥🔥
amazing content as always.
A true pleasure watching your videos Lawrence ❤
❤️
that knee is one of the coolest fucking KOs that exist.
ONE Championship is better than UFC today.
😯
DJ my favorite fighter of all time not because he's perhaps the most skilled of all time, but because he is one of the most honorable.
Without doubt, one of the best. Love your vids btw, seen one or two, look forward to watching more. Excellent work here. Well done.
Thanks for sharing this!
I admire your work lawrence. Another wholesome post.
❤️❤️
This one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen, the way you get your appreciation for the game and for the legend himself across is poetic.
Before getting into martial arts I have always heard of McGregor. So much that I thought he was the best of the best.
Then diving into it and praticing my way little by little I was able to see that he was so full of shit. Cannot say otherwise !
My brother told me about DJ last year. Went checking and I was chocked that he went so much under the radar or mine at least.
He really is the best pound for pound in MMA as for now. The skills, the spirit, the happiness and the fun that this gentleman shows are just magnificent. A true warrior !
A great man to inspire us all.
Dana is in denyal. DJ is not bankable for their world. It won't change the fact that he owned them all there.
Thank you for this gem of a video !
ONE FC is so far an organisation that shows respect to both the audience and the fighters.
Let's go !
When i discovered mighty mouse a bit ago I immediately liked the guy. It was the fight wait the muy thai fighter. Ugh can’t remember his name. But I remembered DJ.
rodtang brother
Thanks for making this. DJ streams. I’m going to try to send this his way.
He’s just the type of dude, you want to see succeed, ya know?
Great personality, solid character, it’s amazing how many UFC fighters get extremely petty when they feel like they’re not getting the attention they deserve.
Granted, they are putting their lives on the line, put years into this, months into each fight, so it’s understandable.
But that’s what makes DJ even more cool.
I heard about him few years after his ufc fights - but man this guy is another level.. Great martial artist, fun guy, humlbe and all - he´s really example. One of 100000
Great viceo, thank you
amazing video.
& love the editing.
Thank you so much
I loveDana’s ability to promote, but I gotta be honest. He lets his analysis on what sells cloud his judgement on what good MMA actually is. I hope that DJ trade for Askren haunts his dreams. He just shouldn’t have that much unilateral control over decisions like that. There need to be more REAL MMA experts in that from office.
Thanks for a great video.
thank you for watching Tariq
Real humble man, greatest inspiring fighter and real HUMAN
This was phenomenal. I think i speak for everyone when i say you have every right to feel proud. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great video. Respect where respect is due. One of the best fighters of all time.
My Favorite..!!
Please do a breakdown / tribute to Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson . Thanks
this guy, is the best we can get as mans, in every aspect of life.
That KO of Moraes was quite possibly the most beautiful display of physical ability, top shelf skill and mental acuity that MMA has ever seen… I’ve watched it a hundred times since it happened and it’s still as gorgeous today as it was the instant it occurred. LEGENDARY is too weak an adjective, but it will have to do, because I lack the words to properly describe it.
Excellent documentary, well done and thanks! 👍🏻
Thank you
Happy to see this man acknowledged, he really deserves it,a true warrior.
Love this, thank you
❤️❤️
This is your masterpiece work on a good, honourable man who also happens to be the greatest combat athlete of our time.
❤️
He needs to transition to commentary because his observations are always on point
yes he'd do great
Lol Asian fans would respect this guy more , all skill and honor and no bullshit
yes
Your videos are so good, atm the only videos that satisfy me completely.
❤️❤️
@@LawrenceKenshin Many are diligent, but your videos show understanding of situational relevance. I hope you get shown approval for your work by real-life buddies as well.
Great video
cant lie, teared up twice during this. Great stuff man! DJ the GOAT! As a short muay Thai fighter, I love seeing other super light short fighters make it big.
Hats off to you Mr Demetrius Johnson in humbling yourself amid your hard work you have been exaulted above all others. Yes the BEST!!!
DJ is so classy. Such a refreshing example by a top notch athlete. Wish there were more of them.
I have and always will be a Demetrius Johnson fan and will not rest till the title of goat is placed on him
