Dj was such an underrated champ, easily of the most skilled on the roster for sure before being traded

[@hellotron9118]

lost to macnall who nobody knows lost to moraes who nobody knows lost cejudo and cruz they were justifiable and lost to a bum like pickett no he wasn't underrated in any means he was overrated he beat nothing but bums nobody here can name his wins other then maybe 2 which is embarrassing without using any sources of information he fought scrubs but only khabib gets that treatment because he never lost

[@hellotron9118]

dj is a clown for saying double champ is easier then defending if that was true then dj wouldn't have lost to cruz while not holding another belt that is proof why double champ is way harder then defending especially against bums like dj did

@@hellotron9118 LOL MOraes nobody knows him ? LFMAO ^^ Dude just shut your mouth.We are tired to have guys like you n the comment section of this sport. Treating fighters with words like BUM , like who are you ? Shpw us your fights , where are you in the ufc ? Or PFL , or Bellator ? A yes, you are nowhere to be seen around an octogon , or a even a martial art dojo. We see you nowhere except into the virtual YT comment section world. Guys like you they talk too much but don't do nothing. I'm sure you are an overweight dude, full of beer and pizza, but you out here frontin. Calling MONDIAL FIGHTERS AHTLETES with words such like bum, clown ^^ while you never achieved or done nothin in your life compare to what those guys did with theirs. You never stepped one foot in an octogon, you will be allowed to talk that bad about those guys, with those kind of words when we will be able to see you fight , against one them to show us how your level , cmpe to one one those bums. Coz I guess if you call them this way, you must be terror , and a master at martial art. But we seee you NOWHERE, w" never heard about you in this sport..So untill qwe don't have videos of you foing a sparring with Dj, just like HOlland trolls did ( we saw what happened to them. They on social media , or YT doing stuff that in real life they would never dare. YT make guys like you being able to say stuff , without repercussion. COz in real life NEVER you call onethose giy a bum inforn of them. And whne you meet one of them we saw it with Holland trolls, you guys gets finish within 20seconds ^^ One pucnh you are out COLD ) untill then, you are not allowed to talk..

@@hellotron9118 You just started watching MMA recently and went back to look at his record. '...nobody can name his wins other then...' You've just named two for us: Cejudo and McCall. Off the top of my head, Horiguchi, Benavidez, Bagautinov, and Dodson. I didn't have to look them up because, unlike you, I followed the division from the very beginning. I saw the McCall fight you're referencing. McCall blew it by showboating and not finishing Mighty Mouse when he had the opportunity. A draw was perfectly reasonable for a competitive fight like that. McCall was considered one of the best (if not the best) Flyweight's in the world at the time. The fact that he drew with him and then dominated him in the rematch says a lot.

[@michaelthomas8147]

@@hellotron9118 Also, you're exposing your bias here: 'lost to macnall'. Either you don't know what the actual result was and actually think he has an official loss on his record, or you're saying that McCall was robbed of a win. If it's the latter, then I could just as easily discredit Cejudo's win and claim Mighty Mouse deserved the victory (many believe that to be the case).
