Knowing that he didn't even make championship money in the UFC (500k) and is now making more than 800k per fight is insane. Super happy for him, what a guy and what an athelete.

Demetrious Johnson is a legend. He escaped his rough childhood, developed an unbelievable skillset and became one of the, if not THE best fighter in the world. And he did it all without compromising his values and beliefs, without putting up a facade. He's the definition of a rolemodel.

If my dad saw the shit Dana was talking about Mighty Mouse he'd probably have run the block on him.

I watched Rodtang fight with Demetrious. It was marvelous. It was as much a show of physical power as well as tactic and emotions. It was the first time I saw Rodtang hesitate or even afraid. The first part seeing Rodtang domination with his aggressive style of striking and taking punches, then seeing him being cautious because of the awareness of his weakness when it comes to grabbling. Wonderful fight!

It's also the fact all the fans want to see are back and forth wars in the cage. They don't give a shit that the guys in there are fighting to take care of their families. Fact is the Champions job as to keep hold of their belt as long as possible to keep getting that extra money. Not to entertain the people sat at home or who buy the tickets. Same reason Adesanya is now getting a load of hate for being 'boring' when in reality he is doing exactly what he is being paid to do, which is win.

It's honestly amazing how successful the UFC has become when you realize just how bad they are at marketing their fighters. There was absolutely no need for DJ to be a loud mouth trashtalker. All the UFC had to do to get people invested in him was show his true story. Make a documentary just like this one. Sure people like drama, but people also like an underdog that they can relate to. DJ was not seen as an underdog because all we saw of him was the professional side where he dominated. Had we been shown his personal side and his struggles in life he would have been seen as the underdog that made it, plus he would have been extremely relateable to a lot of people.

It’s the craziest and scariest feeling knowing you’re going to have to teach yourself how to be not only a dad, but a good one. But typically people that grow up without parents or in a single parent home they learn how to teach themselves things. I believe it somehow has made me a much better father and I’m sure if you asked Demetrius the same question he’d have the same answer. Didn’t such any less hearing it though.

Being the best fighter was just a step on the path to his actual goal, he was never in it for the sport and didn't care to stay in the sport. Whether that's since gone to his head or not, it's not really comparable to a humble man whose only intent is to be the best fighter he can be and feed his family. Ultimately DJ didn't belong to the UFC because the UFC values are in line with an American audience (drama, reality tv shows, etc.) He belongs with the Eastern fighters because they are in it for the mastery/glory/fun of the sport... drama wouldn't even be possible there because of the language barriers lmao. It's comparing apples to oranges, even though I'm all for hating on the American cultural empire. But frankly I agree his fights in the UFC look boring AF, whereas his fights in ONE are way more entertaining to watch. Maybe because his opponents are better, or maybe because America sucks, idk idc. Dana White is a piece of trash but I'm not gona act like DJ deserved to be king of the UFC, he's insanely lucky they even had a division for guys who are 5ft4 to fight in... because that's not nearly the average height in the West.

Look at Brandon Moreno. The dude is the perfect co main if he could stay champ. The UFC markets him and therefore people want to tune in. Imagine if the UFC did that with DJ.

Rodtang is a warrior for sure! I don't think not tapping is a part of that though. Tapping is to acknowledge that you're caught in something and want to prevent unnecessary damage.

When he pulled off that flying armbar I was hooked. Can't believe such a dominant champ was so looked over. They were so close to dropping the entire weight class.

Man, what an amazing moment. Me and my friend were speechless when we seen that live, I turned to him after the replay and said "did he really just do some shit out of a mortal kombat game?!" I will never forget that incredible submission.

@theGthatIAM DJ seems like a super humble dude who is super confident and content in who he is. No showboating, no trying to instigate fake shit, he knows how good he is and has full confidence in his fighting ability idk what else he's supposed to do.

When it showed Cejudo joining him as a training partner I got a bit emotional. It shows the true brotherhood some fighters have underneath all the flash.

First DJ beat Rodtang, Then after he lost to Moralez Cejudo joined him as training partner for rematch. He seems to enjoy famly life with the wife and kids.. He seems to not miss UFC one bit.

Can't "erase" Mighty Mouse. He's the man. He didn't make the UFC the most money but he had an amazing run. 11 title defenses? Yea. Can't take that away. Respect!
