Dj beating that 260 brown belt gives us the answer vs rock for sure!
Well that was a no punching match with strict rules
@@spiralentree737 True, but for the most part it can still be utilized. Just gotta add closing the distance and protecting yourself.
@@spiralentree737yeah and the rock is a wrestler not a boxer
@@Idkwhattoputasmyname1 one hand is the same size as Mighty Mouse 💀
DJ was being diplomatic. He beats The Rock inside 2 minutes with a smile on his face. He could pull guard and strike from bottom and still finish him.
I'd say 3:1 in favour of Johnson.
Don't be so quick to think it will be DJ. He is fantastic and a small man that is great can beat a big man, but a big man that is good can beat a small man that is great. Great care must be taken against someone twice as big and twice as strong as you.
Awesome seeing you here!
I’m not sure about that… the rock is a very large athletic man with a lot of ‘fighting’ experience, albeit play fighting.
@@Musashiote Your response was rather incoherent. The part that I did understand is that there are many factors and that is correct. A couple of those many factors are size and strength. If size and strength did not matter, then there would not be weight classes.
Dude never let his small stature stop him from living his life and achieving great goals, mad respect for him.
Why would he? That’s the silliest thing I heard all year
You're average height guy, calling others as ''small''
Yeah plus there’s weight classes
@@dvsmith3734 Even in the smallest weight class, DJ was still shorter and smaller than pretty much everyone he fought, and the dude started at bantamweight where he was even smaller comparatively speaking. He definitely overcame some odds to be where he is.
Small stature is not a handicap in life. At most a disadvantage in certain situations but that's a completely different thing. However if you have this aberation about being short rooted in your mind, then yeah, you will have quite some shortcomings along the way.
The GOAT and yet somehow underrated
only underrated by casuals
@@6HO57 and the casual pool grows bigger everyday
these tip doesn't work. Dominick Cruz big brother this midget
@@numunukiid138 but isn't that good?
It is deeply ridiculous how little he's appreciated. You can tell that by the fact Shane's channel is about 50 times larger than DJ's
Never understood how Demetrius wasn't up in the spotlight. Long time MMA fight fans know who he is, how long he's been fighting at the top of his promotions. He deserves more recognition 👑
Absolutely agree and big reason he never got the recognition with UFC is cause Dana White is a trash promoter and can only promote circus clowns and DJ isn’t that lol I think he easily could’ve been promoted a lot better as he’s truly genuine humble and he lets his fighting in the cage do the talking for him! I believe ONE Championship is doing a great job promoting him and believe he’s gaining more popularity and recognition fighting with ONE then he ever got in the UFC smh I think his mixed rules fight against Rodtang was truly something special to watch and his rivalry with Adriano Moraes(who is better then any 135lb fighter in the UFC imo) is phenomenal
Because he’s small and his personality isn’t theatrical
@@AveryBlueRemix You mean he's real
The Mayweather effect, they want him to play the villain that will bring ratings, but he doesn’t want to play that game, he rather be himself.
Flyweight was pretty boring when he was around. When he left: Cejudo KO'ed Dillashaw, Figureido finished long time contender Joseph Benavidez, then Figureido and Moreno put up a FOTY candidate.
Demetrious Johnson, the MMA Flyweight GOAT
The MMA GOAT
The MMA P4P GOAT
Arguably the GOAT
We need D J vs volkanovski
I think the "MMA GOAT" discussion is stupid, but if anyone calls him the MMA GOAT I won't disagree.
Only dude to ever set up an arm bar mid body slam while competing in front of thousands of people, bro is probably the best "fighter" on television we see his size absolute monster
Suplex to arm bar.............
@@RelaxingSeconds mat return my friend
And he went for it at the end of a fight he was already dominating. He easily could've coasted to a unanimous decision, but instead pulls out one of the greatest submissions I've seen in the UFC.
Its his signature move, The Mouse Trap.
Such a high fight IQ on that man, truly such a great role model for martial arts and its a shame the UFC didn't promote him properly
High iq in general and despite his fight history too.
Huge missed opportunity, DJ would’ve been way bigger if he received proper treatment
The world of MMA has gotten better thanks to the rise of One Championship. It worked out well.
UFC likes eccentric dudes because they know that’s how they get viewership from the casual fanbase which is always the biggest fanbase
Huge fan of MM. He's a class act and one of the best of all time!
Ya he’s amazing. Unfortunately he isn’t a dick head fighter because that’s what makes money in the UFC. He’s 100% the goat though
Can we just appreciate how conditioned Demetrious is whole year around.
It helps to be 5 foot and weigh 100 lbs
@@alvarezgamers excuses
@@alvarezgamers its called diet and discipline you excuser
@@alvarezgamers idiot
All jay hooks said was it helps when your that short
Going to one championship might've been DJ's best decision ever because the UFC truly did not promote his fights properly. One fc on the other hand has got me to be so excited for all his fights. He really was done dirty for a while
Name me some recommendations from One. Don’t like UFC recently but don’t know any fighters from One.
@@V12509 well One is a little weird because I mostly love their Muay Thai fights. Rodtang, Jonathon haggery, pk saenchai, allizov, saemapetch, and Liam Harrison are all really fun to watch. Really all of the Muay Thai top 5 guys are amazing in every division. The submission grappling in one is also really fun with people like Mikey musemeci and the ruotolo brothers. As for MMA, Demetrius Johnson and moraes are both great. Sage northcutt is finally back in the cage. I haven't paid too much attention to the rest of the mma fights in one just yet.
DJ is the legit GOAT. Got to see him hit pads in person once and you can feel the speed as his punches cut through the air.
i envy you!
i always imagined what i would be like to watch DJ live :)
I think the short fighter Demitrious was talking about is Tony Galento, who fought Joe Louis.
2 ton tony
He could also be talking about Joe Frazier.
I think Dwight Muhammad Qawi is more likely. He was 5'5 but was light heavyweight and Cruiserweight champion. Even fought at heavyweight against the likes of George Foreman. Had a great jab for a short fighter.
@@drinfernodds wooooah 5'5???
@@Konton0178 Yep. He's a trainer now.
Shane, I've been watching your channel for many many years man and it's so crazy how huge you've become on social media. you deserve it but most importantly definitely earned it. I used to love watch your breakdown or how to "fight like" a certain fighters. Would love if you can do some of those videos soon
I love this man, got so much respect for him, he's a genuine guy
Thanks for watching and showing love.
Congratulations you won a prize!!send me a text via Telegram with my username 👆above to acknowledge your prize✍
One of the greatest MMA fighters ever
Arguably the best
I am 5'3 myself, DJ being able to take down people taller than him, Motivates me.
Just listening Mighty Mouse speaking is mind blowing, the sheer fight IQ he has it's truly astounding.
The fact he knew what to do and how to do it right off the noggin without thinking about it is amazing
Shane, I hope you know I say this with love, I could feel how wild it was for you to have DJ standing there next to you. Your respect for that man is infinite and palpable. And I totally get it, I hold you both in the same regard. Just wanted to let you know that I see you, brother! Happy for all your success over the years!
Thanks for watching and showing love.

DJ is one of my favorite fighters in UFC (also, I don't believe his presence was boring - quite the opposite) and now started watching ONE as well.
ONE will be better than UFC because they respect theit fighters.
but he is not in ufc how is he your favourite fighter in ufc?
@@G36Kaers He was in UFC for 7 years and made his name there
this dude did a suplex-flying-armbar. he was “boring” because people looked down on smaller weight classes for a long time and the UFC encouraged that because they didn’t like DJT as champion
@@MynameisBrianZX Also because he wasnt a mean spirited trash talker like McGregor, and was actually a very nice guy who respected his opponents before and after the fight.
holy smokes bro, i remember finding you when you just started out and i remember the ups and downs you went through when you were growing your channel. glad to see you stuck with it and are so big now.
The more I watch him the more I respect him. he is an incredible fighter but he also shows that you can approach this with a sports mindset. A great fighter who is still always humble and honourable. That is a role model to look up to and the world needs more good role models. Thank you for putting this video together. it was fascinating to listen to this man talk strategy.
I thought this would just be two skillful entertaining dudes doing a fun video. Didn’t expect to actually learn a thing or two. Great work
"im 260 tho"
"i love it "
DJ is an exceptionally well rounded fighter and skillwise, fight IQ and conditioning on par with GSP, Jon Jones and all the greats, there is no discussion. One of the most accomplished MMA fighters ever yet severely underrated by many. He'd still dominate the UFC Flyweights with ease and I'd give him a realistic chance at UFC Bantamweight gold. But unfortunately this might be a forever what-if.
Jon Jones is a know PED abuser, not really a good example of "conditioning"
Shane I'm super proud of you man. I found your channel with the video about keeping the mouthpiece on you and that was my intro to FightTips. Then seeing you move to LA and build the homegym and work with people like Bubba Jenkins, and seeing you break it down and live in a van and shower with a thing that looks like an IV drip, all the way to making content with the greatest to ever do it. And that's after your Rodtang video. It's been real to watch your growth as a CZcamsr and martual artist. Good on you, man. Hope to meet you one day
Wow man I’ve been following you guys for much longer than I’ve been subscribed. Amazing to see DJ on the channel!
DJ is the little big brother that every kid in the United States needed/needs to have.
DJ what a humble man. Full of knowledge but doesnt get cocky. Amazing role model.
It’s crazy how he says he beats the rock by becoming a rock on the floor 😂 wild.
"To beat The Rock, one must become a rock." - Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson...probably.
DJ's social media deserves more attention! Must feel awesome to be able to promote the GOAT's channel and Twitch.
Such an amazing trilogy between Moraes and DJ. I'll be tuning in for sure!! 🔥🔥
Thanks for watching and showing love.

Awesome collaboration!
Sick man I watched your stuff when you had like 100k subs or something now your interviewing the goat!
I just love watching/hearing everything DJ does.
What a humble, awesome guy.
I was a production director at a sports radio station in St Louis and had DJ in to record a promo for an upcoming event. He refused to read a script that had salty language (like "kick ass") I immediately had respect for him. He was truly a soft spoken, humble and kind dude. This was before he became known nationally and was a favorite moment in my 30 yr career. I sensed he was a follower of Jesus. It was obvious. He's a legend. Thanks for the memories DJ !
My favorite CZcams martial arts channel AND my favorite athlete in one video??? This video is one of the best ones I've watched!!!
Amazing, Mighty Mouse is the best there is. So awesome you guys got to share your knowledge with us!
what the hell, not the crossover I was expecting but I´m thankful for it.
Bro, it is so fitting using Pride music when discussing these quirky matchups. Well done sound guy!
Fight tips the og channel your was one the first to do it bro big ups!!!
Awesome to see DJ here, great dude
DJ is such a legend
I love the commentary "hoooold on wait a min let me put a dj in it!" That was dope as fuck!
Yes!!!!! This is real. DJ on fight tips!!!
Awesome Video! DJ is a Class Act
The GOAT does seminars ??? Where can I see his schedules ? Would love to join !
When the fight gods unite
Thanks Shane this was an awesome video
Bruce had a lot of great grappling and submission content. His movies and books were full of grappling which was mind blowing in the 60s
It's basic Catch wrestling. Taught to him by Gene Lebell.
@@Specialistkay The "Judo" in his name was his Pro wrestling gimmick. Like "The Rock" or "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Common knowledge.
He started as Catch wrestler from early childhood, taught by some of the best. His mom ran the biggest Catch/Pro wrestling circuit in LA, so he had access to top quality coaching from early on. He took on Judo much later. Gene also worked as Pro wrestler himself for long time; both before and after taking on Judo.
Yeah if you get Bruce Lee's book he's basically doing every martial art in it MMA
I consider Bruce the father of MMA. He popularize it with his martial art and movies.
two legends in this video
MM is just overall an awesome dude.
The kind of legacy this one man has built in fighting. It actually gives me chills. And he didn’t brag like triple C. I just know what He has accomplished and when I see him. I think this is a bad bad man. Even though he is always smiling and happy and a good parent. I think don’t mess with that guy.
The guy is a true true legend.
Greatness mixed with kindness and true humility.
The philosophy is next level - Dana just could not understand it.
Niiiice. DJ is the Man. 100% PFP goat imo 👌🏽💪🏽👊🏽
Legends 🙌🙌
Hi Shane, any thoughts or potential video on this Volk vs Makhachev fight, would be really interesting to hear your take on that fight, big fan, love the content 😬🤝🏼
Well the thing with Bruce Lee is apparently when he died, he was in the process of researching grappling arts for Jeet Kune Do, so even though combinations of grappling and striking were still uncommon in organized martial arts, he was ahead of the curve on that
If you wanna learn how a smaller guy beat The Rock, go talk to Shane Helms. Hurricane got a clean win on The Rock in 2003. The secret is to have Hurripowers.
Awesome episode 😎🤙🏾
Amazing, Mighty Mouse is one of the greats.
Look at Shane man..so inspirational
Wow I come back to this channel after years!!!!! The quality is black and white difference. Well done fam
I think the boxer Demetrious was referring to was either Joe Calzaghe or Jack Dempsey. A great example of that technique was Roy Jones Jr. vs Calzaghe back in the day. Great content! If Demetrious Johnson was a boxer he would be much like Marvin Hagler I think. I see a lot of similar techniques they share.
truee i had ippo flashbacks when he got in that stance, such a humble and genuine person makes me wish i had a mighty friend like him 👍
Thank I had heard and seen footage of it before but was drawing a complete blank 😅
Sick video bro
Love to see Driven Gym getting some love!
According to Bruce's own fights he juggled people easily but it was hard for him to KO them. So he'd end up getting lured into a counter punch or blitzed or out wrestled eventually. But he would be a ver y fun fighter to watch.
Yup. That's why he eventually trained under Gene Lebell, who beat him with American Catch during an altercation on the set of Green Hornet.
>According to Bruce's own fights he juggled people easily
According to what fights? Dude didn't fight professionally after high school.
Bruce Lee had ONE official fight ever... as a teenager. Any pro fighter would utterly destory him. Bruce Lee was an actor and a student. There is a difference
@@MrCmon113 he probably meant sparring
Bruce Lee was a martial artist if somehow you bring him back from dead he doesn't stands a chance against any ranke flyweight
Mighty Mouse beats the rock by submission, he’s world class elite, my bjj coach is a multiple world time champion and I’ve seen him fold up guys who are 140kg, the skill level of men like this is seriously not to be underestimated. Forgot to mention my coach is a featherweight, around 65-70kg
I would go as far as saying that mighty mouse could use his striking alone (going for the groin) to defeat the rock
Did they actually tried to punch and stump him, or did they just play bjj? There's a difference.
@@kallepikku4991 This was during no gi which started on the feet, for sure there is a difference. I’m a 100kg and have submitted huge men myself who outweigh me by 30-40kg in mma sparring etc so I can only imagine how easy someone like DJ would make this look.
this, people who dont fight dont have any idea how dangerous someone like mighty mouse, regardless if hes as small as a mouse really is. He uses his body mchanics correctly, and no matter how strong you are, body mechanic beat strenght.
@@wuutnopepe613 100% body mechanics and the leverage advantages from those mechanics will make someone feel several times stronger then they actually are.
DJ & FIGHTTIPS let’s gooooo!
LOL....Love this guy DJ in every single aspect of him life-fight.
It Demetrious Johnson was 6 inches taller.
He would easily be considered as a top 5 fighter.
-
It is a shame ufc doesn’t promote these smaller fights more.
That suplex-like into armbar was beautiful.
Then he would have to re perfect his craft this...He's already a top fighter
@@joeyfemair8771
No one would ever consider him a top 5 fighter at 5’5 though.
The general public just doesn’t care at people at 135 lbs.
That is why I love Jose Aldo, he got the respect.
If he was 6 inches taller it wouldn't be him. Completely different body and nervous system.
@@C0d0ps
>No one would ever consider him a top 5 fighter at 5’5 though.
>The general public just doesn’t care at people at 135 lbs.
You think so? Everyone seems to think Khabib, GSP, Anderson Silva, etc are top fighters, even though there's untrained people, who could beat them based on size and strength alone.
@@MrCmon113
None untrained people, could beat up, any top 10 ufc fighters.
-
You sound like you’ve never trained martial arts.
Everyone you mentioned has one or multiple black belts.
-
Go train bjj against a purple belt, and tell me how you are gonna muscle your way out, of a rear naked, or triangle, or foot locks.
It sounds good in theory, doesn’t work in practice.
The greatest fighter of all time right here!
Been rocking Mighty Mouse on UFC games since jr high lmao dude seems really humble and down to earth. Respectable guy fs
Love this!
The GOAT 🐐
The 🐐
Using "mrawr and meow" as sounds effects to attacking someone is wild haha
So much respect for DJ., both as a fighter and a person. Lb per lb GOAT.
Mighty Mouse is the GOAT.
DJ the goat! 🔥🔥🔥
DJ Sound effects are awesome
But he's 260
😂😂
How do I beat Isaac Frost in Fight Night Champions? I get to the sixth or seventh round and he just knocks me out every time no matter how much I try avoid him
Skill
Amazing Martial Artist and fighting perception🙇🏻🥊🥊🥋
Respect!
The rock is not 6’5. You can look it up. He’s like 6’2
Exactly
If this guy was 5’10 he would hold 4 different belts
If he was 5'10 he wouldn't be as technical. Gravity bro
@@gigachad6885 he’d still be very good?
Plus jones is one of the most technical fighters and he’s 6’4
@@Seven-tk7sp if by technical you mean being a dirty fighter who sticks fingers in eyes and tries to hyperextend knees . Then sure.
@@AliHamza-sv4ni his fanboys might attack you
5'10 is that big? It wouldn't change anything.
Demetrious Johnson!!! Awesome fighter, great guy
How he takes off after knocking. That guy out is hilarious, literally like Jerry in a cartoon on tippy toes
But what if they weigh 260? 😂😂😂
The GOAT! FIRST
One year at a good bjj gym and almost anyone could take Bruce Lee. The game has evolved, but he’s the first mixed martial artist & made 3 fun movies and that’s why we idolize him
What a great guy!
If DJ is 5’3 does that mean Shane is 5’6???
Thats more than 3 inches i see between them.
@@newhybrid101lol, maybe half an inch of difference
I pray for anyone seeing this, that they know God loves them and that their hearts turn to him. Despite the pain they went through I pray they let God use thay pain to build their character instead of letting the devil destroy their lives with it
Whoa. I'm really into gaming and I had no idea. Gotta check him out now.
This is probably the best guy ever to make that video
Sorry but the Rock isn't going to let Demetrious do any of that. We saw what happened with Shane and Juji and the Rock is double Demetrious's weight and over a foot taller. It's over for him if he tries to go up against a WWE wrestler with any kind of turtling or grappling. He'd have better odds if he went for an organ shot or a KO. The disparity is too great IMO and he's too small that the Rock would just toss him around like a toy.
Mr my dads bigger than yours 😂
Sorry but The Rock is no fighter.
Juji didn't even do anything but I get your view
@@TOrganic,
He's not a professional fighter but there's no doubt that he can actually fight. An average joe or most TMA practitioners will have no chance against him because of his massive size and strength.
@@lionsden4563
Agreed...many dismiss size and strength, but it can be difficult to overcome..
Not saying one should be afraid of size, not at all...just saying that if it didn't matter, then go ahead and pair frank mir against MM....anyone doubts who the winner would be?
lmao the cat scream before the takedown. dj is a funny dude
How can you not be a fan of this guy?
Thank you so much for original content that isn't dripping with vapidity and narcissism!
