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.

He loved everything about DJ and watched everything about him from interviews to fights to videos like this, and he was always so proud when DJ won and reacted as though they personally knew each other. If my dad saw the shit Dana was talking about Mighty Mouse he'd probably have run the block on him.

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.

I felt that too. I grew up without a dad after the age of 9 and had no clue what to do when my wife told me I was going to be a dad. 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.

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.

@@whatyoumeanmyboi3700 That's just being irish. Whereas he explicitly stated before he was famous that he intended to be the "Stonecold" Steve Austin of MMA and turn MMA into WWE, with drama and acting. 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.

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.

Volk seems to be imo the current guy who is most similar to dj in that regard that he just has a genuinely complete game. Only different being , while volk appears to have no genuine holes in his game , similar to Mighty Mouse having no holes, while volk is for sure very well rounded, unlike dj volk is still not as genuinely good at everything. Volk has good bjj defense but he doesn’t have great bjj, like dj. Dj just was on another lvl, the guy had phenomenal striking, he had really good wrestling and wrestling defense, he had great bjj, great bjj defense. Volk has a lot of these things but does lack a solid bjj offense the way dj did

I loved this video! you tell a great story. I hope DJ watches it. I have only just dicovered him, I am sad to say. I was very ignorant of him and when I did hear his name, I just did not really have any interest in watching fights in that division. how wrong I was. He is incredible and what he is setting out to do now after the treatment he received from the UFC is nothing short of inspirational. and when you finished by showing who DJ is now collaborating with to train for his rematch, it was like something out of the film King of the Kickboxers. I wish DJ well. I love how he fights but more than anything it is him and how he approaches his sport and stays humble and honourable. I really wish him well. I really wish your channel well also. great job with this video :)

@@3XZDgg it’s not that it makes me feel better, it is the fact that the man literally did nothing wrong and they treated him like the villain and gave him the Chris Benoit treatment, that WWE gave to the wrestler that killed his family, never mentioning him, like he’s the bad guy, when DJ did absolutely nothing wrong but win his fights and not trash his opponents, but treat them with respect
