Bruh I know that has to be such a Wonderful Feeling.... To make a video that includes an Absolute G.O.A.T. and have that same G.O.A.T. do a reaction to your vid.... Fucking Great Bruh.
Also at the time was in negations of how to help a fighters union which also made Dana make sure that Connor was given the better preparation for the world tour promotion for the fight, Connor was treated better then champion whilst the champ time was wasted and made to be exhausted and when he lost no instant rematch. Dana is ruthlessly petty
this had much more to do with Conor than UFC to be fair. Conor was never going back down to 145 or hed risk serious health issues from the cuts. And a rematch at 155 makes no sense. So unfortunately for Aldo, it was always gonna be a one n done. Surprised people even thought theyd rematch, was never gonna happen.
Maaan you are so humble... The guys in the video say all the best things about you and you don't even flinch or sum it up at the end... Just wow! Mad RESPECT!
@@IshbikesYea i guesa at that point you get used to it as a part of your identity and nonchalant confidence. When theres no question or need to prove you're the best, when everyone already knows it, why brag.
Well to be fair they are a business lol and dj couldn't sell worth shit back then. 125 being somewhat popular didn't become a thing until after DJ left which sucks because he's probably a top 2-3 fighter of all time.
Dana is like all promoters. A cut-throat businessman, whom you cant believe anything that comes out of his mouth. He will "love" you as long as you comply and make him a ton of money. But if any of that stops, he will snake the fuck outta ya.
The UFC is becoming an absolute joke every year if you're a serious fan. So I hope it does in the next decade and fighters will have an organization that actually treats them like human beings

DJ was just ahead if his time. Take DJ of 12 plus years ago put him in that same position today he is a superstar. He was walking out in XBox gear far before gaming was popular like it is today just as one example. The most dominant champion ever at the flyweight division..... Most did not care about that division they like they do now. And most importantly he was hinself, didnt act it up for the camera to grow his platform and today that is what resonates with people where back then you needed the fake bigger than life persona.The greatest to ever do it was just living in the wrong time. Love DJ and will support whatever he does in life for giving me years of entertainment and motivation.
Its mind boggling how no one at the UFC jumped at the opportunity to have DJ properly advertise the UFC games. Imagine if Ronaldo was ranked in FIFA games or LeBron played EA NBA in his spare time, that's a marketing no brainer
Dana did this man so dirty. The best flyweight to ever walk onto the octagon. Look how people praise Moreno, Figueiredo and Pantoja for their technique. DJ will always be levels above them in my heart. Dana went out of his way to make this man irrelevant when he was the pfp goat. Thank god he found joy in streaming and gaming. Couldn’t imagine the depression I’d feel from having my whole career swept under the rug. Praise this man while he’s still here. Absolute legend.
Best move ever by going to One, he got even more recognition plus better pay, they had him headline the first One FC American event. This man's career and story shows you why he is at the top, inspiring man

@viderevero1338 tbh I don't really buy that. 125 is such a ridiculously tiny man. I'd rather have a super heavy weight class or something it's more interesting watching giants than midgets. Mighty mouse truly was maybe the most technically sound fighter ever. So skilled I don't hate on him at all. But the division was made for him. Literally. Bantam is 135 and it's kind of great right now. But 135 is such a Lil dude. Doesn't need to go any smaller. 125 division is dead anyway. Dj is gone we don't need it anymore. Anyone who is 125 can fight at 135 anyway. Make bantam even nuttier..
@viderevero1338 I guess my point is a super heavy weight with giants is more appealing than a 125 division (which is pretty stale anyway) when there is a 135 division already. Furthermore all 125 guys can fight at 135 and make that division even better than it already is. Could be cool for dana to have a rare occurring monster division where it is almost like exhibition matches for giants like Thor bjorn or Eddie and whoever those giant guys are.
I’ve always said you’re the goat no failed tests, defended against everyone in your division and could go anywhere you got fucked but real fans know who the man is
Dude you are the man. You've never let what the UFC did to you define you. We can all learn from your attitude and willingness to move forward with your life. And you still took it to the top. You carry yourself high and we all can learn from you how to keep our head on straight.
They are also much more technically sound overall. Watching fat heavyweights and their routine slugfest gets old fast. I’m impressed when someone dismantles their opponent and outclasses their opposition.
Exactly the problem only men average and above in attention span can follow what's happening and good luck if any women(that's not exceptional) can even follow the punches.😅
It's why Aspinall is better to watch because he moves around and fights like a smaller guy while still being massive. Big, slow heavyweight fights are a snooze fest.

@@ExcitedSolarSystem-jr2rn capable of beating top 5 middleweights, best takedown entries in WW history, best cardio in welterweight history, best jab at welterweight, better ground control than either usman or colby, has finishes with both kicks and punches, supremely elusive vs the most dangerous finishers like condit, alves and diaz.
He's my all time favorite fighter. Trained Shotokan my whole life and he's the reason I started watching UFC and MMA. Almost unbelievable now to think that people don't know who he is.
Machida knocked out not one but TWO legendary fighters with a front kick to the face (Couture and Belfort), how anyone can call the guy boring with a straight face is beyond me
If you are boring = you don't make much money for the UFC = you will get treated poorly....UFC is all about money...and to make more money you need to be entertaining....UFC is about entertainment first and fighting second
Here is the reality, Dana white never been in a cage fight in his life, anyone that's ever fought in the cage or stayed around long enough to either get their black belts in Jiujitsu or win some titles and kickboxing will tell you hands-down when it comes to mixed martial arts and maybe even some other sports johnson is the top dude that comes to my mind. In order to understand mixed martial arts you have to have done it. Watching mighty mouse do mixed martial arts I would aspire to be. Nobody has ever showed the skill set he has in an all-around capacity
One can tell you’re immensely grounded, wise, and good sense of humor dude idk how I’d be able to be so chill seeing a vid like this about myself for example
DJ - you were one of the most exciting fighters on UFC. Its sad I found you after your run was over, but I watched them all. You are a true champion and sport and a good example for new fighters.
DJ, you epitomize the potential of the modern day martial artist. The way you conducted yourself in and out of the octagon should be what mixed martial artists strive to achieve. In conjunction with the performances you gave, it's not even a question, you're the goat. It's been an honor just to witness your legacy.
the fact they traded you for askren and you’re still humble enough to give him props despite the outcome of everything just shows the true greatness of your character, mad respect to you DJ
Mighty mouse has got to be the most unique fighter because he can simply do everything, conner can strike, but the moment khabib grappled him he got man handled. DJ faught mui tai and held his ground against an experienced mui tai fighter on his first time.
DJ I'd like to say something. There are a LOT of people in this game who are genuinely effed up, and let's be honest, to fight and do what you do, you have to have a few screws lose...(I fight too, and lord knows I do) The way that you take care of your family, is inspiring and people should take a few notes from how you behave in general. You are a GOOD MAN. I watch your videos all the time, and not ONLY do you care about your fans, you care about society and people in general. You are an amazing man, and you have made a great example for not just young men, but all men. (which we sorely lack in today's society) You are an AMAZING fighter. You are NOT erased from Dana White. There is no fighter on this planet who knows what they are talking about that wouldn't put you up there with the very best to ever do this. Keep going my brother. You are a shining light for mankind DJ.
Congrats on 500K DJ. I was binging your videos and noticed you hit 500! I was here before you had 200K and I’ll be here when you hit the milli mark too ❤
@@checksoverstripes2498 Kamaru Usman can take Conor down at will and beat him senseless on the ground. But Conor can't do that to DJ. He will have to stand and strike with DJ which ain't gonna be easy as DJ has better striking than Conor. Ofcourse! Conor can k.o. DJ but first it has to land clean which may likely not happen as DJ is too fast for Conor & will mix things up..... Styles make fights,casual!!!! It's not as simple as you think..... Styles decide the ways fight(s) might most possibly play out.....
DJ man, Best fighter ever, your pride shows through every-time you talk. I don’t know why your PPVs were low bro. I bought everyone. Watching greatness everytime. You didn’t need to shit talk, ur honour and respect is as scary as any meaningless slagging off. Respect❤
You personify mma perfectly in my mind... and your pace... holy shit man... i genuinely feel ive strained my eyes watching you fight just trying to keep up
There probably will be someone like DJ, probably eventually it will be the norm for professional mma fighters, but DJ is a pioneer, he paved the way for MMA. In his time there was nobody as complete of a fighter as DJ was, absolute legend of the sport, ill never forget that slam into an armbar
You're the man DJ and you're actually just an absolute inspiration in this world. I haven't watched a vid of yours for a while but i have to say that I'm thankful and blessed to know that there are people like you in this world today. All the best to you and your family bro, you keep being you 💯🙏🙌❤️
@@BigSpinnerdawgFunny how you ufc fanboys try defending dana white (Mr krabs) trading out the goat for some scrub to become a highlight reel because there was more money made that you peasants didnt see a cent of 😂😂
Long time fight fan... My belief why the lighter weight classes don't do well is because its difficult to tell what is happening. Boxing especially, even at middleweight (canelo weight) exchanges can be difficult to understand. Heavyweights move slower and people can see whats happening for the most part. Its like when hockey is on and you cant tell where the puck is, it ruins the experience for the casual because you have no idea wahts happening.
Probably a definite factor. There may also be the factor that our shallow and often illogical society devalues shorter and smaller sized men. Often portrayed as "less than". That affects everything else in our society, because it colors how we perceive men in various different areas.
How you sat there with a completely neutral expression as multiple people talked about you being the best ever is a huge flex of discipline and confidence.
"without him (dana white) none of this would be possible" - one of the biggest reasons for the growth of mma that doesnt get recognition for it says this for a reason. dana white transcended a sport that everyone mocked and laughed at. people forget strikeforce was already started before UFC and pride started a few short years after ufc. strikeforce was ran by a complete moron, while pride was ran by people that didnt want to invest further into what they were calling a "waste of money" verbatim. nobody took this serious and dana had a vision. he risked millions to grow this sport simply because he fell in love with it. he will always be a pioneer, when he dies, you will leave a sorry ass twitter post about the time you met dana and how cool he was you dork. your comment is dumb on so many levels it hurts my brain. this sport is growing into a global thing and thats thanks to dana white. obviously as well as the fighters, but clearly if there was no Dana and it was scott coker (who ran strikeforce and bellator to the ground) there would most likely be no major MMA brand today
A reason he's such a good guy is because he never expresses uncontrolled anger, Nobody hates Dana or what stands for because he gave all the good fighters a great chance, its not all about money but respect and influence. And if it was im pretty sure we woundn't be able to comment because this channel wouldn't exist..

@@ExcitedSolarSystem-jr2rn capable of beating top 5 middleweights, best takedown entries in WW history, best cardio in welterweight history, best jab at welterweight, better ground control than either usman or colby, has finishes with both kicks and punches, supremely elusive vs the most dangerous finishers like condit, alves and diaz.
machida was called boring and treated poorly by dana too.
machida is one of the greats and didnt deserve that.
He's my all time favorite fighter. Trained Shotokan my whole life and he's the reason I started watching UFC and MMA. Almost unbelievable now to think that people don't know who he is.
@@thepancakemann mine too, machida is boring to casuals that cant appreciate a counterstriker, and to those whole just want mma to be like animals.
Machida knocked out not one but TWO legendary fighters with a front kick to the face (Couture and Belfort), how anyone can call the guy boring with a straight face is beyond me
If you are boring = you don't make much money for the UFC = you will get treated poorly....UFC is all about money...and to make more money you need to be entertaining....UFC is about entertainment first and fighting second
@@DavidJones-pv8zz danas opinion is just based on his hurt fee fees most of the time
Here is the reality, Dana white never been in a cage fight in his life, anyone that's ever fought in the cage or stayed around long enough to either get their black belts in Jiujitsu or win some titles and kickboxing will tell you hands-down when it comes to mixed martial arts and maybe even some other sports johnson is the top dude that comes to my mind.
In order to understand mixed martial arts you have to have done it. Watching mighty mouse do mixed martial arts I would aspire to be. Nobody has ever showed the skill set he has in an all-around capacity
Hes the best and everyone knows it
One can tell you’re immensely grounded, wise, and good sense of humor dude idk how I’d be able to be so chill seeing a vid like this about myself for example
The video was extremely respectful to him.
DJ you are F'n awesome!
Thank you for all the fights you have given us fans.
This guy is the goat he doesnt get enough credit for what hes done in the sport of mma!!
Idgaf what anybody says you are the 🐐 DJ. Literally doing videogame level moves during real fights. Ill NEVER forget that flying arm bar lol
Plus he’s not a drug cheat
that cm punk fact makes me believe that the ufc is just a show too
They're owned by the same company now. I wouldn't be surprised if WWE became a retirement home for mma guys.
Wwufc
@@joeabernathy5402well Ronda kinda screwed that up with the type of shit she’s talking now..
@@Ishbikes Only for herself. They're literally the same company now
@@joeabernathy5402 wrestling has a higher mortality rate than MMA :/
11:05 how cool is it to say this and actually believe in it…. 😮
Love this. DJ is so modest it's really cool to see him like this. Spicy DJ. Owning his greatnesssss
This story really infuriates me… but im glad your still competing and making content, and glad to be a fan!
DJ - you were one of the most exciting fighters on UFC. Its sad I found you after your run was over, but I watched them all. You are a true champion and sport and a good example for new fighters.
Bro i saw you live, you sir are the perfect example of why i love mma. Thank you for being you all the way thru.
Go on MIGHT MOUSE! l You're so humble.. but i love to hear you speak truth with passion! You did fuck them up on all levels! 🐐
Now look, DJ is still a champion and McGregor is sniffing coke and acting in movies 😂
DJ, you epitomize the potential of the modern day martial artist. The way you conducted yourself in and out of the octagon should be what mixed martial artists strive to achieve. In conjunction with the performances you gave, it's not even a question, you're the goat. It's been an honor just to witness your legacy.
the fact they traded you for askren and you’re still humble enough to give him props despite the outcome of everything just shows the true greatness of your character, mad respect to you DJ
Honestly you’re an inspiration DJ. Never kicked up a fuss about the UFC situation and now reaping the rewards of your labour!
Don't forget Frank Shamrock! He deeeefinitely should have been in the UFC HOF decades ago
So close to 500k! Cant wait to congratulate you for another accomplishment
Proud to say that he was less then 10k when i've jumped in.
511k 9 days later
It's nice that you give the video creator shoutouts at the end, not many reaction channels do this! You're humble both in the ring and online!
Mighty mouse has got to be the most unique fighter because he can simply do everything, conner can strike, but the moment khabib grappled him he got man handled. DJ faught mui tai and held his ground against an experienced mui tai fighter on his first time.
Real fans know DJ. Thanks for all your great fights and the incredible legacy you built you're loved and appreciated.
DJ I'd like to say something. There are a LOT of people in this game who are genuinely effed up, and let's be honest, to fight and do what you do, you have to have a few screws lose...(I fight too, and lord knows I do) The way that you take care of your family, is inspiring and people should take a few notes from how you behave in general. You are a GOOD MAN. I watch your videos all the time, and not ONLY do you care about your fans, you care about society and people in general. You are an amazing man, and you have made a great example for not just young men, but all men. (which we sorely lack in today's society) You are an AMAZING fighter. You are NOT erased from Dana White. There is no fighter on this planet who knows what they are talking about that wouldn't put you up there with the very best to ever do this. Keep going my brother. You are a shining light for mankind DJ.
Dana selling wolf tickets.
It's woof, not wolf
Why woof , was thinking about this the other day
Haha haven't heard that in awhile 😜. Selling those wolf tickets like nothing.
@@ndheadstrong2432no it isn’t 😅
@paulypaulsonit’s WOLF as in, the animal that howls at the moon
Didn’t know you had this channel with almost at 1 million subscribers! You deserve the best DJ. You’re a class act. Oss.
DJ sitting there listening to GSP and woodley talk about how great he is like “damn right”
Congrats on 500K DJ. I was binging your videos and noticed you hit 500! I was here before you had 200K and I’ll be here when you hit the milli mark too ❤
Bro has a RUclips channel, 100% earned my subscription
Conner being p4p is so laughable!
Conor would beat DJ senseless
@@checksoverstripes2498Usman would beat Conor senseless too....
But Conor won't be able to beat DJ senseless though....
@@checksoverstripes2498 Kamaru Usman can take Conor down at will and beat him senseless on the ground. But Conor can't do that to DJ. He will have to stand and strike with DJ which ain't gonna be easy as DJ has better striking than Conor. Ofcourse! Conor can k.o. DJ but first it has to land clean which may likely not happen as DJ is too fast for Conor & will mix things up.....
Styles make fights,casual!!!!
It's not as simple as you think.....
Styles decide the ways fight(s) might most possibly play out.....
@@adamjamir2212 bro calm down. your throat must be bruised!
DJ man, Best fighter ever, your pride shows through every-time you talk. I don’t know why your PPVs were low bro. I bought everyone. Watching greatness everytime. You didn’t need to shit talk, ur honour and respect is as scary as any meaningless slagging off. Respect❤
Real fans know what's what. Definitely GOAT
You personify mma perfectly in my mind... and your pace... holy shit man... i genuinely feel ive strained my eyes watching you fight just trying to keep up
There probably will be someone like DJ, probably eventually it will be the norm for professional mma fighters, but DJ is a pioneer, he paved the way for MMA. In his time there was nobody as complete of a fighter as DJ was, absolute legend of the sport, ill never forget that slam into an armbar
You were my favourite fighter to watch man, so technical and yeah you were so fun to watch
GOAT! 💪🏾💪🏾 Thanks for sharing your version of things for all the current and upcoming fighters.
You're the man DJ and you're actually just an absolute inspiration in this world. I haven't watched a vid of yours for a while but i have to say that I'm thankful and blessed to know that there are people like you in this world today.
All the best to you and your family bro, you keep being you 💯🙏🙌❤️
Trading you for Askren was just disgusting.
Brilliant for DJ.
No. Ben made Jorge masvidal a super star. Jorge masvidal made the ufc millions
@@BigSpinnerdawg you're right about Jorge Masvidal, but I still think DJ was much more entertaining and skillful than both Ben and Jorge.
@@truckarkhanjo oh 100%. Wasn’t trying to say might mouse isn’t good
@@BigSpinnerdawgFunny how you ufc fanboys try defending dana white (Mr krabs) trading out the goat for some scrub to become a highlight reel because there was more money made that you peasants didnt see a cent of 😂😂
The real fans know Mighty mouse is the greatest mma fighter of all time. Keep growing and winning Demetrious!
Long time fight fan... My belief why the lighter weight classes don't do well is because its difficult to tell what is happening. Boxing especially, even at middleweight (canelo weight) exchanges can be difficult to understand. Heavyweights move slower and people can see whats happening for the most part. Its like when hockey is on and you cant tell where the puck is, it ruins the experience for the casual because you have no idea wahts happening.
Probably a definite factor. There may also be the factor that our shallow and often illogical society devalues shorter and smaller sized men. Often portrayed as "less than". That affects everything else in our society, because it colors how we perceive men in various different areas.
Mighty Mouse is one of the GOATS, even haters can't deny the fact.
The way DJ has solidified himself in the sport, when he talks so highly of himself you cant even say he's arrogant. He's just the best, period. 🤘
Mighty Mouse record will never be broken
I think your more loved now since you left ufc tbh. And your pod is 🔥
How you sat there with a completely neutral expression as multiple people talked about you being the best ever is a huge flex of discipline and confidence.
Dana White privilege is a real thing. Can't stop Dj from being the greatest.
Obviously it is.
Him saying conor is the best pound for pound fighter in the world is nuts. Tough decision between you and Jon
He knows the mainstream causal would love that, remember most causals don’t even know DJ..
4:30 dude this move blows my mind still today, seriously incredible, hat tipped sir, respect
2:36 him cracking up is hilarious just shows how true it is
Maybe just maybe he played new vegas and the reference hit
That’s basically the first time I saw DJ pissed of
Congrats for 500k subs Dj🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
P4p for dana is basically a person who brings in a lot of views and ppv buys
When the all time greats call you the all time great , believe them !
They are the best judge .
Always keep in mind, Dana's dying and in 4 years the world will have forgotten him.
You're going down in history as a legend.
Wait what
Dumbest take ever
"without him (dana white) none of this would be possible" - one of the biggest reasons for the growth of mma that doesnt get recognition for it says this for a reason. dana white transcended a sport that everyone mocked and laughed at. people forget strikeforce was already started before UFC and pride started a few short years after ufc. strikeforce was ran by a complete moron, while pride was ran by people that didnt want to invest further into what they were calling a "waste of money" verbatim. nobody took this serious and dana had a vision. he risked millions to grow this sport simply because he fell in love with it. he will always be a pioneer, when he dies, you will leave a sorry ass twitter post about the time you met dana and how cool he was you dork. your comment is dumb on so many levels it hurts my brain. this sport is growing into a global thing and thats thanks to dana white. obviously as well as the fighters, but clearly if there was no Dana and it was scott coker (who ran strikeforce and bellator to the ground) there would most likely be no major MMA brand today
Lol glazer
A reason he's such a good guy is because he never expresses uncontrolled anger, Nobody hates Dana or what stands for because he gave all the good fighters a great chance, its not all about money but respect and influence. And if it was im pretty sure we woundn't be able to comment because this channel wouldn't exist..
This just in :
ALL Corporations want to pay their employees as little as possible , if they can get away with it !
🤯🤯🤯
One of my favourite fighters of all time. Mad hearing you say 'One of the best flyweights' You're more then a flyweight. You're a goat. You're different gravy bro
mighty you are wise man
The business of combat sports
I’ve always loved watching Mighty Mouse @mighty I just hate that he’s just now getting his recognition he’s a MMA GOAT and will forever be my inspiration
Women’s drama is talking shit about a co-worker or a boyfriend or ex, drama for men is talking shit about Dana White 🤣
Mighty Mouse >conor McNuggets
Numbers disagree
@@Smoothkush98which numbers
@@Smoothkush98 what numbers ? Conor hasn’t won a a fight for like 6 years .. and look at title defenses… I’m sure you are talking about ppv buys right? 😂😂easiest way to spot a casual !
@florentinosandoval1776 no hardcore uses the word casual 🤣
The video is about how might mouse couldn't get ppv points or couldn't sell ppv.. so obviously my comment is about what the video is about🤣🤣
Mighty mouse is legendary, but business pov, just another champion
@@Smoothkush98 yeah and no hardcore fan would look at only ppv numbers when comparing fighters….no hardcore fan would even consider that in a argument .. I get what you’re saying about the video being about the business part but when I said mighty over Conor I wasn’t talking about marketability or earnings .
The fact that Dana said DJ is not pound for pound best and followed it with Connor is still blows my mind to this day what a statement and how well it aged.
0:07 Dana White your time is limited on the UFC platform you are assuming going to be unemployed maybe 6 months
I’ll be back in 6 months to tell you you’re wrong
@@NonPilllmfao
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Dana will be done when he decides so.
You're one of the GOATS DJ 🪽
You may no have the economic reward you deserve in the UFC. But you have the respect of everyone in the sport. That is priceless.
tito trying to spit the line from Christopher Walken's part in the movie Poolhall Junkies is hilarious
That slam into armbar was the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen. Definitely the most dominant fighter in ufc history.
I was watching this 8 months later and this green screen on his head flashing 😂 damn it make me laugh😂
that shiny spot on your head looks like i put a lighter to my screen lol ur the greatest!
When brock said that vince is 100x better as a boss compared to dana really tells you a lot lol
