MMA Legend Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson Makes Epic Run In Open Weight Division At IBJJF Pans

[@olly2515]

This man has nothing to prove and still out there looking to challenge himself. GOAT 🐐

[@henryburton6529]

100%. Never popped for anything ever as well. The true GOAT.

[@514Exc]

He just loves martial arts. A lot of these guys youll never see them in the gym after retirement, because they were they for the money not love of the arts.

[@juliodyarzagaray]

I admire him. Smart guy and has a personality. His channel is growing fast.

[@6sept9]

He is writing is name varios books, the man is already a legend but he continues to go after every type of fight or fighting competition he will be as legendary to every fight fan as Bob Marley is to music or as Bruce Lee is to fight/act.

[@ericlee5983]

Bradley Martin has been real quiet after this one

[@InnerLuminosity]

😂😂😂😂

[@DangleSan]

Bradley only has a chance if they're fighting naked Greco-Roman style(after seeing what MM can do in Gi BJJ Bradley has no chance in cloths ) and he gets lucky on the first punch the moment he swings and misses it's over

[@michaels7368]

​@@DangleSanI agree. Those ghees make a big difference. MM is fantastic but if this was just in shorts with these big guys it could be a disadvantage to MM. Brad loses every time unless he lands a lucky punch like you said.

[@kushcreep442]

@@michaels7368 lol no they dont🤣

[@michaels7368]

@@kushcreep442 LOL, yes they do. Every match was ghee grabbing.

[@ZAZAP]

A lot of fighters need to learn MM's humility. What a humble guy.

[@justing5073]

I heard a United States Navy Seal say that when working alongside side some of the most dangerous men on the planet you find there is a humility about them. A humility in knowing they have the ability to learn something from someone else and not think they are superior. That's what makes them the best at what they do their ability to always grow. Demetrius Johnson strikes me as this type of person. Even though he is arguably one the greatest mma fighters of all time (if not the greatest) he is always looking for the ability to learn something from someone else. He is a legend.

[@thesaltyd619]

Pretty healthy ego

[@me-7873]

Ngl humble is boring I don't want boring fighters I'd rather egos clash and build tension. It's entertainment

How? Because we love him not like.

[@JohnMonk-re9nd]

Because he competed in masters which is a joke considering who he is.

[@andresruca1664]

​@@JohnMonk-re9ndexplain that please

[@KingWings]

When they say a lot of guys shouldn’t have there black belts in mma it makes sense, but Mighty Mouse is worthy and skilled enough to be considered a true black belt once he gets it

[@tchoythao1730]

Think being a black belt is more than just being a great competitor. I do believe he deserves a black belt if he gets it but maybe he doesn’t have one yet because his pure BJJ skills aren’t there yet even though his overall grappling skills are far above black belt levels due to being a world champion mma fighter. Just a thought not really dead set on it. Edit: I’m including other criteria like ability to teach and such though I’m sure he’s not slacking in this field either.

[@nismospek]

@@tchoythao1730 When he decides to retire, he will be one of the best coaches/teachers to ever do it. He has a wealth of knowledge. Just watch his fight breakdowns on his channel.

[@earthgirdler23]

Shouldn't talk shit as I have no belts of any description, but I laughed when McGregor got his black belt knowing that MM is "just" a brown belt.

[@mattcauth]

This guy...what more can you say? Super cool, down to earth, and an absolutely fearless killer. It's a cool time to be alive and involved in BJJ with legends like this creating epic stories for us to enjoy.

He did the masters division which considering his resume; is a joke.

Hopefully might mouse makes the gi great again. Ppl think the watching the gi is boring, well it is when all the grapplers are boring. But DJ is a great example of how to make the gi fun to watch. More aggression and risk, less overthinking and stalling!

[@__________o____________]

I just don’t watch it cuz some techniques simply don’t work outside the gi sport

[@KevynWithaYTV]

@@__________o____________ Lol

[@KevynWithaYTV]

@@__________o____________ My theory: all fights happen in cloths so I feel like you can use the basic techniques in the gi in a streeet fight. Pant grips and collar grips could potentially work. Yes most techniques won’t work in the moment but it definitely could be appplied in a street fight. My theory

[@jellophant9716]

​@@__________o____________ to be fair that applies to nogi and even MMA too

[@attila2946]

@@KevynWithaYTV If I'm fighting on the street I will always throw my jacket and sweater away. So the only grips you can do is pant grips. But I haven't seen any streetfights where a BJJ-practitioner using specific grips to deal with the danger. It mostly starts with a takedown and ends with a RNC. No grips, nothing. That's why I skip Gi and go for No Gi.
