[@mawkmuir193]

One of, if not the most under appreciated champions on the UFC.

[@briangriffith4574]

there's very few people that would survive that first round vs rodtang. That looked rough.

[@DavitChaladze123]

And he didn't just survive. He came to fight.

[@REDANDSILVER741]

DJ also caught him with some strong shots and Rodtang walked through them.

[@alcottdevalte7440]

DJ's fight against Rodtang was super cool and fun to watch. Everyone gotta check it out. Hope he is active this year, good man.

[@theguvnor3880]

DJ will forever be an all time great.

[@hellotron9118]

he got ktfo by moraes a bum he trash beta nobody

[@TelvinKipapa]

DJ will always be my all-time favorite fighter & the goat to me.

[@moisesperez3693]

Miss DJ fighting in the ufc. But I'm happy for him

[@Ghragle-]

He lost one fight 😂 yall jumped that far after 1 loss. Dj the 🐐

[@hellotron9118]

he beat nobodies he lost 5 times he won many times by robbery he couldnt even beat a bum like moraes coward dj scared to fight elites as why he dodged them all and left

This man never lost his mojo....

[@MorAodhan]

How can you not love DJ. The GOAT.

[@timperalta9430]

I know DJ is a nice guy but man, he’s too nice! He even initiated the rapport by asking Ariel how Dallas was. He deserves an NMF belt. Give it to him, One!

[@danielcauffman6734]

If him an WONDERBOY could grapple for it would be a fun thing to set up! Ask Unc Chael!

[@timperalta9430]

@@danielcauffman6734 it’s unjust to give Wonderboy the NMF without oppositions of sermons, compliments, encouragement, altruism and God Bless’s from other candidates.

[@aquaticlibrary]

It’s amazing how Moraes makes weight and he’s 5 inches taller AND bulkier “without cutting weight”.

[@andrewnorris485]

The ONE weight classes/weight cuts are biggest mystery in the sport. I don’t care what BS they say about hydration test this and that, DJ has been fighting guys who are a weight class bigger then him over there.

[@aquaticlibrary]

@@andrewnorris485 definitely a mystery

[@titzmageex]

@@andrewnorris485 try two or three weight classes. Guy he lost to looked like a big 45er

[@was786loaded]

@@andrewnorris485 bro more than 1 weight class on a few of them lol DJ is game

[@beluga_1776]

DJ would have beat Henry if there was a trilogy fight

[@joelucas8529]

Love DJ! Definitely the G.O.A.T. without question!

[@asfantom]

If most fans were not casuals this man would be respected as a UFC and MMA legend.

[@realshidd3062]

The baddest MMA warrior in his weight class 💯👊🏾💪🏾👊🏾💪🏾💯

[@hellotron9118]

moraes slept him stiff haha

[@HECKSTER69]

A True mixed martial artist what a great person also ... Such a badass

[@strikeyouup8685]

DJ did amazing with Rodtang! So fast, so smart!! Dayum!

[@courtney1096]

[@alappara_kelappurom778]

Coolest Legendary Fighter..

[@cobrakaicyberdon]

Big up dj. One of the greatest.

[@the_auditor1017]

Demtrious GOAT Johnson!

[@TeeSlice]

That was an awesome card by one fc I was more than happy to pay for it too, i was looking forward to seeing dj fight rodtang the most and mighty mouse showed why he's the flyweight goat, id love to see more of those type of fights i think one fc gotta good idea doing those type of fights , love #Mighty #blackIce 💪

[@Deasnuts1]

Ufc got Ben askren for this guy, let that sink in for a minute.

[@AiMzMp]

The goat

[@AkamapD]

Dj vs rodtang reminded me of Khabib vs Justin. First round Rodtang/khabib walking down Dj/justin while Dj/justin got some good counters. Then second round they switched roles 😂

[@horatiojones7960]

Str8 Beast Mode!

[@ShamirAjate]

DJ is the Greatest ever! 💯

[@JahFighter.]

DJ Goat!! 🙏🏾

[@thecasual4698]

[@oche9827]

Goooaaat!

[@autismwalk6855]

DJ!!!!!

[@Dragondude30]

I want you to fight Moraes again. Get that title bro.

[@SPACECOWBOY705]

I know Gaethje is way bigger... But him vs Rodtang would've been an absolute and complete banger

[@lesblase3667]

Ariel, no freaking time stamps? 🤦🏽‍♂️ flip. Cmon bro

[@Karabo4344]

DJ still performing at this stage

[@spendiggity9324]

Please get john Wayne parr on your show

[@bretthumphrey6821]

I haven't seen you fight since ufc would you please come back to the ufc

[@adoniskorran3043]

Go watch his fights lol he never stopped

[@joebuczkowski8605]

No one plays to lose.

[@johnboylan3832]

I don't know why that body-lock was broken up by the ref as they are legal under Muay Thai rules.

[@lesblase3667]

*Black Ice*

[@managut]

💯

[@SPACECOWBOY705]

If Rodtang has accomplished what he needs to accomplish at ONE.... he should really think about doing MMA.... but maybe it just isn't his style... Not everyone can convert as well as someone like Izzy eg

[@jelorer]

who ever is thinking he lost his mojo is a casual. he won the second cejudo fight. got caught in his one championship loss.

[@racistrobinhood]

Anybody else feel like he's riding a horse 🐎 while doing this interview? Posting in a saddle lol

[@gage4574]

First.

[@JamesG12]

Is this guy still fighting?

[@TheEmbalmer13]

?

[@syre456]

Says the guy that's never fought at all 🤷‍♂️ excuse me but what makes you so great brotha ? 🤫

[@MMA_Content]

Khamzat would beat DJ at size parity
