UFC 227: Demetrious Johnson Post-Fight Press Conference - MMA Fighting

[@DUARTE99]

DJ is such a class act.

[@rupe82]

Dam straight, gracious in defeat.

[@guysmalley]

187bronco187 just maybe DJ was telling it straight?

[@auniquedisposition9009]

You can tell that Demetrius doesn't place his value or identity on wins or loses. This is just a job. A job that he loves and would have no problems hanging it up when it's time.

[@stoneosborne9247]

A Unique Disposition nailed it, spot on.

[@mawright04]

Felipe Ramirez dumb

[@dtbristol]

The most mentally well adjusted fighter I've seen. You rarely see someone not whining about the outcome of an obviously close fight.

[@jeffwatson8110]

A Unique Disposition a very Canadian trait

[@Kursmashh]

He doesn’t even look like he was in a fight

[@ayo30s]

Kursmashh exactly, he took and reacted like a true champ to defeat, absolutely inspiring, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸

[@SincereDoper]

that's because he didn't get hit much, he should have won 3-2 probably but everyone knows judges are terrible with mma so a decision win when the fight is close typically doesn't mean much. sucks that his streak ended with controversy though since most thought he won.

[@kaidenjenkins459]

Glad he lost! So sick of him

[@kaidenjenkins459]

Aidan CE He's boring asf! He's scared to test himself

[@jmillz60]

florence jones 7 of his 12 title defenses are finishes and you call him boring?? My dude you sound dumb, DJ has put on shows from his final second sub over Horiguchi, to the mighty armbar against Ray Borg. How is he boring? Like im seriously curious about your definition of boring....

[@rageheat2426]

He a true champ

[@jakesivilla9321]

Didn’t think he lost that fight, but I have no doubt that he’ll get his belt back. Crazy to think that both him and Henry put on that kind of fight will all the injuries that happened in the middle of it all.

[@demonchildlol]

Jake Sivilla couldn't agree more

[@puntsize]

Jake Sivilla cejudo clearly won via mma scoring, but cejudo was playing that wrestling game. Ricky Simon only wrestled earlier.., kind of sucks but it is what it is

[@puntsize]

DankedGaming nice! Cejudo/Dillashaw for me won me some cheese as well.

[@puntsize]

I think the judging was spot on last night. All decisions were the correct ones in my eye. It was a HUGE surprise to see, there's always 1 or 2 bad ones every event, lol.

[@erikjuarezdk2367]

I think he won the fight, but congrats to Cejudo. DJ is a freakin champ in life. If you can lose your title and act so humble afterwards, you're much more than just a UFC champion.

[@orionpavlos4479]

DJ and Cruz both were widely considered GOATS of their divisions but are so humble through wins and losses.

[@22antricha]

That’s why they’re so good. They lose in the gym all time and learn from it instead of letting their ego get in the way.

[@rondagatts8960]

Cruz is not GOAT of anything. The guy is always injured and almost never finishes guys. TJ Dillashaw is the bantam weight GOAT.

[@orionpavlos4479]

All these comments, nothing but love for this man. Close fight but I give it to DJ. Im kinda glad he can take a break now, spend some time with his family and focus on the new one on its way. Being at the top for that long is taxing. Plus watch how the fans will pine for him after watching the rest of the division scamble around for a while. I think this is a blessing in disguise for the man!

[@princechampcamp9531]

Dude I’m a D2 Wrestler & I don’t think Cejudo should’ve won the fight. Yeah he had almost a full of Top Control, but what did he do with it ? + the Leg Kicks why TF do judges NEVER COUNT LEG KICKS ?

[@facetheraf1457]

PrinceChamp Camp judges really weigh takedowns a lot more than strikes/damage, I don’t agree but it honestly comes down to how the judge scores a takedown and it’s value

[@truthsayer2310]

PrinceChamp Camp the game is entirely geared towards wrestling.

[@mr.apache5455]

PrinceChamp Camp so do you score for leg checks ?

[@derekfoster7198]

Cejudo controlled him the whole fight, octogon control, aggressive, mixed it up, walk him down and got multiple takedowns

[@pilsung26]

If it inflicts damage, then yes. As to how you'd know. The fighter would stop throwing kicks. P.S. Congrats to Cejudo on his victory. It was a close fight; but a defensible decision victory.

[@gordiehowegoat6786]

Robbery

[@LoganNashFilms]

Listening to him grunt to get up at the end oddly inspired me.

[@johng1394]

Such a well spoken man, class act from day one!

[@ivesjames2897]

Humble dude

[@ldnxbars4264]

DJ is a legend and to let him get robbed like that is a disgrace to The ufc

[@yodaonthedrums]

LDNXBARS DJ is an absolute legend for sure, I can’t say this was a robbery though, in real time I scored it a draw, super close fight which could have gone either way, and it seems one could make an argument for any scorecard other that a 50-45 in either direction really.. I’m generally pretty critical of judging but it this case it seems it’s the judging criteria which is the problem, it leaves so much open for subjective interpretation that you can come up with different outcomes and none of them are “wrong” which at the end of the day is certainly a problem. But that’s a separate discussion for another time, either way great fight and I don’t see how they don’t run it back. DJ still the 🐐 though. 👊

[@jtcconquer9532]

agreed robbery

[@J1283-s1k]

Rewatched it again. Extraordinarily close fight. It took the greatest combat athlete of all time to push him to a razor thin, coin toss decision and it took going to a different company fighting at the next weight bracket with different rules for him to suffer his first knockout. No wonder this man is THE GOAT.

He is a very classy man. There are not many like him in fighting... Especially not amongst the men

[@horrorhead199]

Aidan CE exactly what i thought when i read this comment and the previous one u mentioned! If you appreciate “class” u wouldn’t b defending Rousy cause she’s about the furthest from classy I’ve ever seen in an athlete. For the record i cant stand guys who act like this either, but yea you’re right both of her comments were her SJW politics on screen...its like a plague these days.

[@navjitbassi03]

Don't get the especially part of your comment. Women are the worst when it comes to losing. Just look at Ronda and joanna

[@navjitbassi03]

Chris Tre the only two that have been the most dominant/popular in the women's division. If you were to forget gender and just pick the worst losers them 2 would be at the top of most lists. The funny thing is women's mma is new so there haven't been many top fights compared to men and they still top my list of worst losers. Hard to ignore gender there, even if I tried.

[@navjitbassi03]

Chris Tre don't be butt hurt my friend I'm not insulting you lol. You want me to compare everyone reaction to a loss when only a few experience the pressures of mma at the top level like Ronda and joana. How many women have been as dominant as them in the ufc and lost? Don't know why you getting so defensive. Demetrious, Anderson, gsp, chuck liddell have all been at the top and taken defeat well. Tito, Ronda and Joana are the few that come to mind who can't take it. Where is the bias?? So far every dominant women champ in the ufc has been a sore loser.

[@ttubebaby]

Cejudo got his ass beat and was handed the belt. Really wish DJ wasn't so humble and would say so himself.

[@chlebiceksmaslem]

DJ is probably looking forward to being a challenger for once. Gotta love the guy. Impressive about the injury, didn't notice at all on his movement. But it must've had an effect on his td defense.

[@steverogers24]

Watching this reminds me of how this division was made for Joe B. And he was hyped up like crazy. Then the crazy Ian Mcall fight and rematch. Then boom mighty mouse defends the title 80 times.

He doesn’t seem upset, just a little disappointed.

Wowza DJ is such a class act looks like he did before coming into the fight. I still feel he had that fight all the states when you look at him were in his favor as well. Besides takedowns which DJ even said he didnt get anything significant off on him. Crazy you don't get anything for stuffing there takedown or his gameplan with all the kicks. Sounds like DJ did more damage to himself then Henry did to him.

That's one difference between MMA judges and most other sports. You should have to do more than the minimum to beat a Champ and take the belt. If it's close it always stays with the champ. I believe this was a draw.

Still the GOAT in my book.

Seemed like he threw the fight to me.

[@MF_Doom203]

Cejudo Lost End of Story

[@DimaShinder]

How casual he is about a broken foot and torn LCL makes me scared for how many injuries happen in this sport

[@pyroseed13]

While it's true that Cejudo's takedowns helped him secure the win, it wasn't like he wasn't also striking either. I thought the 5th round came down to the last few exchanges which I thought Cejudo won. Even though Cejudo was outlanded in 4th, Johnson didn't land anything significant that would cancel out effectively 2 and a half minutes of top control from Cejudo. And as Joe Rogan pointed out, Cejudo did land some strikes in that round, where as Johnson was unable to land anything from significant from his back.

[@yunggotti7630]

He sounds almost relieved not to be champ anymore
