I think Mighty Mouse made a smart decision here. He's retired and enjoying it, I think if it was his prime he'd be more open to it, but he deserves to enjoy retirement.
@@RubbersPVP you jon jones d-riders are really special. last I checked DJ isnt holding the belt hostage. Tom has said many times he doesnt give a f**k about fighting jon jones specifically, he just wants to fight for the belt.
If he comes back, I’d actually be disappointed. Don’t let Chael or anyone convince you this is a good idea. Retiring means your heart isn’t in it or your body isn’t. He made that decision for a reason. Calling someone out who is retired, no matter how good they still are, is just a clown move.
Fk that, the man shot his shot. I never clown someone who is just shooting their shot especially in a situation like this where who else does Pantoja have? Kai is the only one left for him to beat and Kai who has one victory after back to back losses and beaten one top 10 fighter (only 8th ranked at that) in his last 8 fights? Love Kai and I agree Mighty should stay retired but I think it's foolish to clown him for shooting his shot
@@bizzzzDJ doesn’t care about money. He cares about his health and the rest of his life with his kids and wife. 😂🤦♂️ What a small world perspective you have. 😂
@@dougie2631Him having no one else doesn’t mean disrespect the goat of your division in order to try and get a payday. 😂 DJ is retired. Hates the UFC upper echelon. Has zero to prove. 😂
I really wish DJ would step back into the octagon for a few fights. It's wild how so many people have only just discovered him after his retirement-his social media has absolutely blown up! Being a gamer has brought in a whole new crowd to appreciate him. I’ve been following UFC since the early days, though my interest has come and gone over the years-kind of like with football. It honestly took me a while to really care about the lightweight fighters, but over time, I think we’ve all grown to appreciate the incredible skillsets of the smaller guys. Sure, they might not be able to beat the big guys physically, but their technique and precision are unmatched. I enjoy hearing DJ speak; he’s got such a great perspective, and clearly, a lot of others feel the same way. Seeing him fight again is probably just wishful thinking, but hey, a guy can dream, right?
He’s retired. He doesn’t need to be one of the champs that keeps coming back due past his time. The previous champs that hang around all end up looking at the lights after a brutal knock out. He’s like Conor where he made his money and bounced minus a broken leg
I feel the same way. So disappointed. Demetrious is my P4P, GOAT or whatever Batman tittle you can come up with Demetrious has it. That also makes me not question his decisions though. That list is now Khabib, GSP and him. And what goes for all of them is they seem to have made the right choice, no matter how little I like it.
I never enjoyed watching MM fight, and I enjoyed the sanctimonious "superfans" preaching about how that means I'm _just not pure enough,_ even less. But the dude earned his respect. If he wants to be retired, good for him. One heck of a career.
The ufc traded DJ for Ben Asscream. Cant be much more insulting than that. DJ is the real g.o.a.t. No steroids, no ducking fights, only top level competition
Makes sense to me, I assume Mighty Mouse has more than enough money and 0 incentive to get back at it. This is a young man's sport, DJ accomplished a lot during his career, he's 38 years old let the man enjoy his retirement.
Idk about this narrative. Is it the ufc fault that fans don't buy flyweight headline cards the way they do heavier weights? I think its the fault of the casual fan
I remember how Dana treated Demetrious when he was in the U.F.C. and it's wonderfully satisfying seeing Mighty Mouse in a position financially to tell the U.F.C. and Dana to go pound sand.
I love DJ response. He already turned down a 2 million dollar fight from a promotion. Dana would never match that. I would have been more impressed if Pantoja called out Mokaev. That would have been legendary. Flyweight is getting exciting.
Didn't surprise me at all. Maybe in a year or two, he might decide that he wants to get back into competing at the highest level. But he seems to be enjoying himself right now.
Id love to see Demetrious Johnson fight again. He has nothing left to prove. Hes the greatest fighter to ever live. The most well rounded fighter ever. Hes not in his prime though. Alexander would beat DJ now but he wouldn't beat prime DJ
Uhhh… DJ is retired tho? He’s in his late 30s, he hasn’t incurred as much head trauma throughout his career, he’s financially stable, the man’s won at life😂
Pantoja has been very impressive, but I don't think that performance puts him in the conversation with Demetrious. DJ's wins over Cejudo and Borg were much more impressive to me. DJ was finishing guys left and right and did it 11 times. Pantoja needs 4-5 more title defenses before this is even a conversation.
MM said in his response: im not the goat or the best anymore,, im happely retired. this i can respect compared to all Jon's BS reasons for not goin up against tom
I'm not willing to call DJ the GOAT because if you look at his fights, who tf are even more than half of those people. You look at a guy like Jones, or GSP and you see all killers
Pantoja e muito bravo , esta de parabéns ja e um dos melhores da categoria porém nao acho que ele luta com o Demétrius, vai ter wue bater em outros cara para seguir o sei legado.
Unfortunately there really isn't anybody left except Kai and Kai has one win over one top 10 fighter in last 8 fights so that's not going to do much for his legacy. Honestly, kind of a crap situation for Pantoja
This is similar to guys calling out khabib knowing damn well he will never come back. They just hope it makes them look cool. It might to the casuals, but to the real fans, you look dumb.
Pantoja should try again but bring in the UFC . Call for himself and Mighty Mouse to be the coaches for the next contender's series. Maybe the content and coaching aspect paired with the extra prep time could entice Mighty Mouse back
only mentions the brazilians but moreno is better then both of them, what a joke. ofcourse figeredo won, pantoja is a joke with injections, and dana put this garbage into matches with a real champion, same thing happened with chandler, ofcourse they have to cheat
DJ is the goat of his division. No one comes close. It was a pathetic call out by pantoja. 😂 DJ is retired and has literally zero to prove to anyone, especially not pantoja. 🤷🏼♂️ He wants to use DJ’s legacy for his own growth without any actual cause or reason to do so. Why would he ever come back to the UFC after they treated him like they did? 😂
Jamahal Hill calls out Chuck Liddel next.
We all know RUclips pays more than the UFC
Damn
It happens to UFC fighters that never touched gold.
Yea when you cant sell PPVs. Gotta sell you know what in foreign countries
Makes sense for a low draw like DJ
only if you sell no ppvs
I think Mighty Mouse made a smart decision here. He's retired and enjoying it, I think if it was his prime he'd be more open to it, but he deserves to enjoy retirement.
Dana White seemed open to it
U better not ever call jones a duck again. 'Dont come back DJ, dont worry your the goat, screw pantoja🥺'

You know your division is garbage when you need to call out a retired legend and you defeated a guy who is brand new to the UFC!
pantoja is garbage
It was garbage when the legend fought there too. No competition for the champs at child weight.
@@tfurgztypa4645 hes not garbage lol but yea you get no respect for trying to fight dj at this point
You are garbage lol what are you talking about 😂😂😂 pantoja true champ
@@tfurgztypa4645you are garbage
It was actually a great call out
In what world? DJ and the UFC have bad blood. Pantoja isn’t even a 3rd to DJ’s record. 😂 Pantoja is not even close to the goat of his division. 😂
Pantoja is good. And has no one else to fight to prove it against. It apparent why he call3d put dj but dude sounds like he's good not doing it
A great call out a year late. The fight should've been at UFC 300 before Demetrious retired.
Demetrius is happy.
Tito tapped
Anderson broke

Na. It also gives dj the opportunity for a few more $$ and he JUST retired like a month or two ago. I fail to see why it's a clown move.

Why tf Khabib
I hope Mighty Mouse calls this bluff. GOAT just retired and I hope he says “f$ck it, let’s get paid one last time”
Ufc would need to buy out his One contract. Then sign the mouse. Then sign the fight. Then he could get paid one last time.
People forget man. Pantoja is the only man to beat/KO Islam Makhachev after going up 3 divisions then going back down right after.
How do you “forget” something that never happened?
Islam lost to Adriano Martins at UFC 192.
You got this confused, buddy. 😅
no you're mistaken, it was actually Adriano Martins that ko'd islam..
I think he should fight Henry next
Don’t think Henry can make that weight anymore
@@rynorock2647yep, he is a chubby little pothead now
@@rynorock2647 I think he can but he was really rusty after taking off a few years while Demetrious was still training for ONE.
DJ could still do it, but I think he knows he has nothing to prove.
Mighty mouse is like I do not compete for money anymore!
Mighty Mouse is a legend and the UFC screwed him.
I never enjoyed watching MM fight, and I enjoyed the sanctimonious "superfans" preaching about how that means I'm _just not pure enough,_ even less. But the dude earned his respect. If he wants to be retired, good for him. One heck of a career.

DJ's "no" means "not yet."
You know him or?
@@threecubed3😂😂
No
Patchy Mix in PFL might be leaving soon its only a 10lb weight difference, I suggest him and Pantoja fight!
Dj said he was done . He meant it
I just retired. I don't care how much those boys talk, I'm eating good.
Mighty Mouse vs Pantoja on Fight Pass Invitational, black belt vs. black belt. You're welcome.
Shaved head pantoja has a different aire about him...😎💯 feels like greatness in the making
I know he already retired but people talk like DJ is 42. Guys, he's almost the same as Pereira.
Mighty Mouse would wreck Pantoja 10-8
😂😂
Pantoja's younger though.
Fax.
Makes sense to me, I assume Mighty Mouse has more than enough money and 0 incentive to get back at it. This is a young man's sport, DJ accomplished a lot during his career, he's 38 years old let the man enjoy his retirement.
Mighty should have said,yes, "but" , only in ONE. . UFC had him, didn't want him.
Idk about this narrative. Is it the ufc fault that fans don't buy flyweight headline cards the way they do heavier weights? I think its the fault of the casual fan
😂😂 So they can fight for that one plastic toy belt?
dana white was the only guy who stuck up for mighty mouse
@@HeliodromusScorpio funny how the ufc had to fix a fight to get the ufc title away from him
@@donniedoesdishesno … just no …. 😂
Mighty Mouse made his name off the UFC and then made his fortune off of that. He’s set and doesn’t need Dana, Pantoja or the MMA community. 😂
I wish, in my heart of hearts, that UFC and ONE could work together and start doing co-promotions together.
UFC would be fire with my muay thai, but One's MMA division is way too thin.
Don’t come back DJ. You are the GOAT. Just chill out ❤
dj and pantoja should do a grappling match in the meantime
DJ already retired so what is he supposed to do
DJ is only 4 years older than Pantoja.
4 years in your thirties is a lot actually, even more in the lower weight classes
@@kyankukkiwonyes its like saying a 10 year old is only 4 years older than a 6 year old. A lot can change
he needs to fight figgy
They won't pay DJ what he deserves so why should he.
And for the record,
Mighty Mouse wins that fight
Would love to see Dimitri vs Pantoja
I remember how Dana treated Demetrious when he was in the U.F.C. and it's wonderfully satisfying seeing Mighty Mouse in a position financially to tell the U.F.C. and Dana to go pound sand.
As if this wasn't the world's most predictable outcome. It would be all risk and no upside. DJ is more than content sticking to streaming video games.
Mighty Mouse is overrated, flyweight back then wasn’t competitive like today
I love DJ response. He already turned down a 2 million dollar fight from a promotion. Dana would never match that. I would have been more impressed if Pantoja called out Mokaev. That would have been legendary. Flyweight is getting exciting.

He's just negotiating. Why can't no one see that. He threw the 2mil number out saying it's not enough. Smart. Also Dana didn't dismiss it
Why tf would he need to he has nothing to prove
Demetres was never my friend
Champions don’t call out their challengers in general, but they definitely shouldn’t call out retired fighters.
People didn't appreciate Demetrious until after he was gone
Mighty wins tho just saying Pandora doesn't bring anything to dj resume
Uhhh… DJ is retired tho? He’s in his late 30s, he hasn’t incurred as much head trauma throughout his career, he’s financially stable, the man’s won at life😂
Dude i think everyone would have wanted this fight
Didnt think mighty mouse would duck
Does anybody really even think the UFC would ever allow that? GSP vs Bisping all over again.
DJ!DJ!DJ!
Uncle Chael you would and could never understand being a goat in the sport and having no need…. to come out of retirement.
With all due respect 😊
Even his kid asked him to do it
Am i the only one who feels pantoja deserves a shot at bantemweight gold🤔
Pantoja vs Cejudo? 👀
Cejudo too chunky for 125 now he's a bantamweight
Demetrius "Mighty Duck" Johnson 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
Pretty sad that youtube pays more than the UFC, I respect DJs decision though.He aint got nothing to prove anymore.That's the way you go out on top
He has no other choice to call out Mighty Mouse, he’s beaten the other 2 top guys and now the new kid on block, might as well just combine 125 & 135
Pantoja beats a guy in his debut now he’s it’s most impressive any flyweight has looked😂 fighting someone in a debut will do that for you
That's what i thought too....he wants goat 🐐 status....
Why would mighty mouse come back 2 a organisation who disrespected him, he's the best ever
it wasnt Pantoja it was Adriano Martins who KO'd Islam..
Kai Kara France will say yes
Pantoja has been very impressive, but I don't think that performance puts him in the conversation with Demetrious. DJ's wins over Cejudo and Borg were much more impressive to me.

Wow

If Pantoja is so great, let him bump up a weight class and compete in a real division.
This guy just rambling on about stuff everyday always off topic
This is similar to guys calling out khabib knowing damn well he will never come back. They just hope it makes them look cool. It might to the casuals, but to the real fans, you look dumb.
Just tell me 3 big name that M mouse defeated.
DJ is a retired 41 year old. Come back like Miocic? No thanks.
He is 38mr accurate
@HeliodromusScorpio big difference. Since you're such a history expert tell me how many guys have won a title from 155 down over the age of 35.
mousey ducking
DJ needs to stay retired. He ended as he should....on top
