Rodtang can beat 99% of the population in a fight. Trying to throw shade because he lost an MMA match to one of the greatest MMA fighters ever is crazy.@@besmart2350
Wow this is one of the best fights I've ever seen. I've never seen MM so pressed as the first MT round. I love this format, hope to see more from both of these excellent fighters.
What a fighter is DJ! To exchange in Muai Thai with Rodtang in that first round, being dangerous and go into the second to finish him on the ground… what a huge fight IQ
What the fk are you talking about … to exchange? He had no choice but to exchange. The first round was Muay Thai rules only, do you even know what you’re looking at anybody with two operating brain cells knew that DJ would shoot a takedown in the MMA round . There’s no spectacular IQ on display. It’s common sense.
Yes. MM realized Rootang is an insane striker, so he got him on the ground where MM undoubtedly would have the advantage. Edit : nvm, apparently the agreement was Muay Thai, mma, Muay Thai, mma. Now it makes sense why MM waited the 2nd round.
@@javiermalla3013 what an idiotic take . Fight iq ? It was muy Thai rule set first then mma second round . How the fk is that fight IQ it’s common fkn sense that he would take it to the mat in the second round . Classic weirdo pretending like he’s knowledgeable in the sport when he makes statements as clear as “ hey look the sky is blue “ stop pretending dude .
There was nothing rodtang could do on MMA rounds because he can't do anything about grappling, rodtang is Best above average ay MMA but is a Beast at muay Thai
@@jackjones1249 .....that's exactly why they do the mixed rules in different rounds. I mean....it's specifically the thing that makes it cool and enjoyable to watch.
@@JoeFromSJersey You are missing the point. The MMA guy is used to fighting on his feet, so there is minimal advantage in the first round for the maui thai guy where as the second round when they can grapple and go to the ground its a huge advantage to the mma guy.
very interesting to see how the rule sets of each round changed who the aggressor was. Both are legends. Props to both for doing that. DJ is the P4P MMA and Rodtang P4P thai fighter. Thank you for the beautiful show. Piece of art!
What's bad is I didn't know ow about this till now watching the highlights. One has terrible advertising. This is what the ufc used to be, super fights. This would ofbeen amazing watching live. One needs to do better.

@ismailsenel3812 I'm busy to notice everything all the time and I'd like One to really pick up their game. Rodtang and DJ are small guys with giant hearts and the purest decent men there are, I don't pay ufc ppv anymore but would of absolutely got this if available. 2 goats of their styles doing a round by round in each style. Yes please all day long.
@@airesphan6036he lose bc he not real fighter, he needs rules to be in a fight. Mighty Mouse wins bc he fights in a sport that has less rules and better showcases a real fight. Muay Thai not real fight
Incredible fight - man i havnt had goosebumps watching a fight in ages. that was just incredible skills and very very powerful fighters at the top of their game. DJ's slip and grab was just beautiful. The striking from Rodtang was so powerful i bet it feels like a heavyweight punch.
For DJ to go toe to toe with a Muai Thai kick boxing legend without any ground that first Rd... That's crazy, Rodtang is top of the totem pole, arguably the 🐐.
@@rafaeltoledo1830he wasn't really getting "destroyed". Rodtang was just more aggressive but he is getting hit a lot as well. All that even though DJ is fighting at only 50%
Both great fighters. It was a super fight based on certain rules. They both got a chance in each round to prove themselves in their area of combat rules. First round was all Muay Thai. The second round was all MMA. MMA is obviously the best of all aspects because it utilizes everything. If DJ hadn't submit Rodtang then the 3rd round would have gone back to the Muay Thai rules, and 4th round back to MMA...and so forth. I think the big difference is in the fighting stance and not being able to predict the level changes when a well rounded fighter can shoot for a take down and the opponent is guessing, or just confused because he doesn't know if you are going to strike high or not. It was obvious that DJ was going to win on the ground, but if it was to stay standing it would have been a victory for Rodtang.
I didn't know wtf was going on when Rodtang was going backwards in 2nd round and DJ jumped on him. Unusual format with mixed rules. Epic fighters the both of them. Rodtang is frkn scary on his feet though. DJ did very well in the first but you could feel the diff in striking power. I wish it lasted longer.
Cardio...Rodtang blew a lot with the nonstop attacks in the first round. Clinching tks a lot of energy too... He's not used to it. Dj is an experienced fighter so he weathered the storm n went for the kill
@tihtaminjong9806 I think rodtang is aware of the stamina issue but he was also aware that his best chance to win was the first round which was why he tried to put as much damage in as possible or take him out
Such a sick sick sick fight man. Rodtang is an absolute animal, much respect to both men here for laying it on the line. Both men had a lot to lose but in the end both were winners in this fight imo. Was a great showing of the striking efficacy of dedicating your life to Muay Thai but in the same respect it showcased the power of grappling and taking the fight to the floor against an opponent not well versed in the intricacies of fighting on the ground. Phenomenal event, would love to see more crossover fights like this occasionally.
I am not expert in martial arts, but not having the threat of being taking down, makes a huge difference. You can’t go out swinging like he did in the first round. I have much respect for the strikers in MMA that have to deal with the threat of being tanking down and defend all attempts. Not an easy task.
He doesn't do MMA at all. That is why this is a SUPER FIGHT with both fighters agreeing to the special rules that was set for this fight. The first round is Muay Thai only. The second round is all out MMA, and if it goes to the 3 round it switches back to Muay Thai, 4th round MMA and so forth. One FC has many different fight leagues under their Banner. There is the MMA league, The Muay Thai league (where elbows and knees are allowed), The Kick boxing league (where elbows and knees are not allowed, and then there the grappling and BJJ league.
This is the most important fight of all time. It shows how to have mixed combat rules in one fight. Now boxers have no excuse not to fight mma fighters.
Definitely not unexpected. This was an unfair fight really. Rodtang has been training MT all his career and he can't learn elite grappling overnight. The fight condition is if it ain't finished in the 1st round, it's over for rodtang
@@paulievespucci6867 I mean Dj studied striking his whole life, even if he can't have the upper hand against Rodtang. Rodtang can't learn enough grappling at this point to go against Dj. This is as fair of a fight it can be, so muay thai first makes sense.
@@boracebecioglu9563 never said it was unfair for DJ just because it was MT first. I'm saying, he didn't asked for this as "respect for rodtang". One proposed this super fight to him already set like this because they wanted to showcase them at both their best
If I was a Professional Thai Boxer who specialized in striking and if I’m fighting against a MMA fighter… I would be cautious. Grappling is a whole new level if a striker doesn’t understand the grappling system and grapplers can be relentless. Like trying to escape a python and the grappler CAN take hits. So… yah.
DJ had near perfection fight here.. he was clearly out-gunned (for the most part) and he kept his cool and adapted, waited for that perfect duck/dodge and went in for the kill. This is why MMA is the superior fighting art. The Muay Thai guy didn't even know or expect to pay dearly for that missed punch... clearly unprepared for the jujutsu/wrestling move. He thought he was going to go in there and out-bang DJ... had zero plan for the ground game.
This fight should have been bigger then any Jake Paul fight

Probably because the entire camp realized it couldn't go to MMA rules or else he'd have no chance of escaping a takedown.
