Huge respect to Rodtang for fighting an mma legend in their sport, most wouldn’t do that. Same with Demetrious Johnson. They both did what we wanted Floyd Mayweather to do against Conor Mcgregor
❤❤
But how long do you think FM would last against CM in MMA? Floyd could have gotten seriously hurt by blows he has never trained to avoid, receive or deliver. Whereas, DJ was 100% ready for Rodtang.
@@ccrider3435 Floyd needs more than a year to even survive a round 😂
McGregor's kicks are not a joke
Despite not having any kick KO's
McGregor knows how to back you up in a corner and force you to male mistakes
Max Holloway, Dustin, Brandao all felt that pressure and didn't quite know what to do
Floyd could probably dodge some punches here and there and win some close range exhanges
But even a takedown from McGregor will be the end of him
It would be way more fair if McGregor faces a Kickboxer like Lerdsila
He wouldn't even last 2 minutes.
Once CM grabs him it's all over. Doesn't even need to take him down. Just clinch and knees or standing choke or submission. If not then takedown and it's over.
What can Floyd do?
And Floyd isn't gonna ko an MMA fighter on the way in when he is 100% looking to grapple and defend punches, not giving any opportunity for Floyd to counter strike.
CM could even just do low kicks/teeps against him all day, but that would give Floyd a 10-20% chance at least to get a lucky ko if he decides to take the DMG in order to try get a ko.
All any MMA fighter has to do to win is never engage or stay in punching range vs Floyd. Keep it kicking or grappling range where punches are useless.
@@ex0duzz all I hear is faxx
Floyd has never fought at kicking range and his stance is perfect for a kick boxer 😂
There are several boxing styles that may be useful in MMA
Floyd's style isn't one of them
Love the tremendous respect we see here. Tired of the controversy for the sake of popularity fighters
Love your support jack!
Collaborating with you, Lawrence, is truly an honor! I really enjoyed analyzing and breaking down DJ's grappling. Hope we could work again in the future
Miss y'all over there
Bjj trickster is the best!
I love these 2 fighter/athletes. They're on that next level and ONE CHAMPIONSHIP matched them up was epic. ONE is now my favorite organization. I love your content !!!
🙏🙏
Rodtang is the epitome of Muay Thai's sturdiness and rigidness. I can't remember seeing someone eating hits in his own division like nothing happened and THAN comes in DJ and wins the fight against such a monster with sheer technique. That fight was martial arts at its best. And they are both so humble. Goes to show what it really means to be strong.
PAUSE
DJ deserves all the respect. His career is Legendary, and to take on Rodtang in his prime. Unreal. So glad to see you post again 🙏🏻❤️
In Rodtang's defense, he didn't train half his life on grappling. If the rules of the match favorited Muay Thai, it might have been a different outcome.
I'm not knocking DJ, because I think he's an awesome fighter and a great person (I've watched his Twitch streams), just pointing out that they come from different disciplines with different rules.
@@MrVvulf yes, you're 100% right! Rodtang was seemingly confused in the grappling exchanges, you can clearly see he had on idea what to do. DJ should have never accepted to grapple against a guy who never done it once in his life, I feel like it was kind of like some bully sh*t!
It's not a street fight, therefore DJ had nothing to gain fighting a Thai guy in an MMA fight. If he wanted true respect in my eyes, he should have fought Muay Thai Rules.
@@clifflegrand4848 I think they did muay thai rule in round 1 and MMA in round 2
@@clifflegrand4848 Round 1 was literally Muay Thai rules bro. The whole point was to alternate rulesets between rounds
@@TehwombatJS What I am saying is that DJ, a guy who's been grappling his whole life, should have never accepted a fighting with grappling rules against guy who has never done it once in his life.
What does taking Rodtang down and choked him unconsciuous prove to DJ other than an ego boost? I think everyone with a right set of mind could have already concluded Rodtang would have never survived in an MMA fight.
In 10-20 years thai kids will learn grappling young and dominate mma
i think so too. Wish it happened sooner so people would stop underestimating muay thai and thai athletes...
Idk why but I honestly dread that future. It will be awesome to see, but I love the idea of a diverse martial arts world. It feels like a globalized economy will lead to mma being king, but less diversity.
Darwin baby. Fairtex is already leading this and Stamp’s lighting the path, it appears.
Maybe in Flyweight and Bantamweight but not in the divisions above that
I've seen fights where Iranians and Russians are starting to dominate due to speed and size.Thai fighters need to bulk up.
DJ def is a Goat.
Great breakdown, Lawrence.
🙏🙏
Ive seen this fight sooo many times... but now i have to watch this even longer video.... cuz Kenshin breakdowns are the best!!!! Unparalleled.
🙏🙏
Glad you didn't quit making videos, this was a great one!
🙏❤️
You are taking it to the next level. The new 24/7. An amazing, well done video. thank you. Wow
Much love Frank!
I’ve been waiting patiently for this breakdown and boy, was it worth it! Outstanding breakdown, in my top 5! Thanks a lot, much appreciated 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
It doesn't matter who wins or loses, both fighter respects each other that's all we appreciated.
Yes the fight fans won
Awesome fight, can't wait to see the breakdown on this one. Mighty Mouse is one in a million
both of them are one in a million!
The best video I've ever seen thank you so much for the great work
🙏
Love both these fighters. Thank Lawrence. I’m glad to see you back friend.
🙏🙏
Best breakdowns in the game. Thanks for putting this together. I have to go re-watch that fight now...
🙏🙏
Crazy I was just wondering when you would post again 😂
Amazing video like always with great explanations and insights, thank you for your hard work!
🙏❤️
You did it again! Fantastic video. Keep it up.
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic show ,luv the breakdowns,thank you
thanks so much william
Always great to see another video from you!
Thank you brother
Amazing video Lawrence this channel is gold! plz dont ever stop doing what you do your videos are journeys man!
Excellent break down of DJ vs Rodtang. Complimented with slow motion and annotations - a pure pleasure to watch, THANK YOU!
This is the most informative MMA video I've ever watched.🙏🏼
If Rodtang had some training on takedown defense, we would get a fairly equal match with heavy damage on both sides. Rodtang has the superior Striking technique and power, but DJ dominates the ground game completely.
Agreed
i miss those breakdowns, so much - perfect job !!!!
🙏
Man, your videos opening the magic of combat fighting. Biggest respect. T.
much love
I love love LOVE this style of breakdown. Please do more!!!
thanks so much graham
High quality breakdown. Great job!
Cannot overstate how big brain it is to hit a nak muay with the most common attack in his game to provoke a pure muay thai counter out of him that you then viciously counter with MMA.
Thd body kick is a high value move in Muay Thai and every nak muay counters it well at that level.
DJ gave Rodtang a bait he literally could not refuse.
Very well put together video!! Definitely going to check out your channel. Love DJ the man has got a lot of heart!!
i'm 34 yrs old and consider myself too old to start with mixed martial arts. but had I seen your videos 20 years ago i bet my ass ivd looked for the first fight gym and trained my ass off ! so much love in these videos! keep on going bro! ❤️
Fantastic breakdown, thank you!
Great job on the video
Awesome way you've done the analysis!❤
Thanks!
This version of coverage is amazing. Explaining technical details to non fighters
thank you
Wow what a wonderful work you did! Editing explaining! Wow! Top level!
Your videos are just brilliant.
I knew a bit about DJ but not much. Similarly with Rodtang I’d seen the famous self cudgelling mid fight. But to get the context, build up as well as breakdown in one video with a sense of who they are as well.
Simply superb.
I think it’s also the spirit of these two Fighters that make this even more appealing.
Thank you so much I always look forward to your videos.
thanks so much for the kindness brother
Oh I was just watching your video yesterday about MMA vs Muay Thai and complained how you never mentioned DJ vs Rodtang, but I was just impatient. Thanks for this great video
🙏❤️
First video I've watched on this channel. Bro you're good, and know the stuff. Props
Really glad to see you break this down. I was really pleasantly surprised with DJ in round 1 and his willingness to throw down. I didn't realise exactly how domiannt Rodtang was, but I love thag DJ looked like he could belong in a high level Muay Thai fight. Then again, it's DJ and I shouldn't have been surprised
Great clean fight. Both great athletes. Great competition.
Thanks for the review, Great breakdown, extremely knowledgeable...
Amazing video as always brother 🙏
Thank you Mario
fantastic breakdown and editing!
thanks jeff!
HOW THE FUCK IS THIS SO INSPIRING. I LOVE YOUR EDITING!
Thank you Tomas!
DJ is so good. Also Rodtang is a beast. As a very longtime UFC fan One has become my favorite promotion.
great fights
Oi I thought you retired from doing these!
2nd video in 3.5 months
@@LawrenceKenshin I missed the last one but I swear I saw in facebook saying you were done!
Welp glad you didn't stop!
An excellent video!!!!!
i would love to see you as a live commentator for the ONE FC fights

Wonderful video. We're still waiting patiently for a Lethwei video tho 🥰🥰🥰
🙏
Great job 👏
So good. Great video
❤️
Glad you finally covered this match-up.
Mighty Mouse is THE best fighter we have ever seen.
Thank you brother
Great analysis! Great fight!
🙏❤️
Mixed Martial Arts GOAT! Demetrious Johnson is a MONSTER. I love the humility and sportsmanship between the two fighters. Rodtang is a BEAST. I wasn't so sure DJ was going to make it out of that first round. What a great fight this was. Thx so much to BOTH fighters for putting on such a wonderful and respectful exhibition of martial mastery.
Thanks for the video glhf
🙏
That was epic! Good shit bro!
Thanks bro
Only respect for both of these frigging legends. Holy f.
agreed brother
Love it, 2 of my fav fighters
Much respect to DJ. The man's a grinder.
One of the humblest Champions EVER!
I absolutely LOVED this..💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
thanks so much
This analytics is crazy. They really into the flow state.
Unlike UFC, ONE Champion is more like world fighting event.
Thanks bro glad you like the analysis
I feel that Thai people are born to fight. They not only dominate in the field of Muay Thai, but also have many world champions in kickboxing. Additionally, Thailand is also one of the world's boxing powerhouses. With only a population of 60 million, this is truly impressive. The only downside is that Thai fighters lack wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, making it difficult for them to survive in MMA.
Very impressive for sure
This was great!!
Thank you Brett
@@LawrenceKenshin you’re welcome. But honestly, thank you for the great content.
Awesome video. Rodtang and Johnson are two of the greatest fighters I'll see in my lifetime.
🙏
Are you on Twitter Lawrence? If not, you should be, there are a lot of fight fans over there and I am sure will be a follower of yours.
Quelle courage et abnégation respect à ces combattants magiques et magnifiques
DJ definitely got the better end of the trade by going to One FC. He has a much deeper well of competition in that weight class to test himself against. Aside from his humble, hard working nature, he didn't have any kind of real opposition in the UFC, save for Cejudo...and even then, I think they shafted DJ on that decision to help usher him out. Anyway, your casual UFC fan didn't really care to see a humble, non-smack talker tactically destroy his opposition every time he went out and keep it 100% business.
Amazing breakdown, as always. This mixed rules fight with Rodtang was awesome to watch, and mad kudos to both fighters agreeing to wade in each other's pools!
May 5!
Great fighters
Ok so round 2 was even more awesome 🥰 Dj took his power back after he realized his awesomeness 🤩😁
The haggerty fights were f’n legendary
Rodthang just realize he wasn’t as tough as he though he was.
You can’t have it both.. either you fight as a stand up fighter and or MMA fighter.. because your stance are completely different.. you can’t do both.. there’s a reason why rodthang had to back up and no longer in a Muay Thai stance and techniques he had to switch up.. so to anyone that say a Muay Thai fighter should learn MMA also..there still a style shift and won’t make a Muay Thai fighter any better..
As always thanks to Kenshin for this awesome breakdown.
Crazy good. To survive with tactics and grit then win like a breeze in round 2 against a living legend…wow.
Yes super tactical
I think these two should support each other in the next event
The respect Rodtang shows is the most important thing I think in fighting sports and I didn't realise how much I needed to see it done properly in the UFC until seeing lots of Rodtang fights.
As someone who has been in and lost fights, I know how important it is to receive mutual respect of some kind from your opponent. It gives you an even ground to still stand on after the fight and prevents a man from being crushed entirely in his spirit. It should be illegal to not give it in combat sports.
Coming to think of it, it's astonishing that it is a 50/50 chance that in the UFC, a fighter will even have any sportsmanship. In a SPORT.
In the old days I watched fights with my gym croud. Any chance you can livestream a reaction and the community can get hyped together?
I love Mighty Mouse. Lawrence describes him perfectly. Humble warrior. All his clout is from being the perfect fighter. Love this guy. His YT channel is lit as well. Dude is funny as shit. I could literally see myself being great friends with such a man
i'm a huge fan of dj lately
When GSP said you're the Greatest ever, holy shit that's a freaking statement
I'll never gets bored of watching 👀 Rod fight. He a freak 🤪 In this generation❤❤❤❤
Good
These fighters are all great especially rotang in muai thai and demetrious kohnson in mma but dj is the best fighter ever for sure of this era
now that's for what I call is a real sparring match
I'd be feeling this stuff as the ref, that scared of feeling the power of an accidental follow through from those strikes
they were two little tasmanian devils in there
after fedor emilienko, is the best mma iq figther and prodigy!!!! RESPECT!!!!
If it was just Muay Thai for 5 rds Mighty Mouse would have lost. His Muay Thai is absolutely excellent but fighting an elite Thai fighter of this era is just another league in itself. So happy ONE FC put the fight together regardless. I'll never achieve what these two have in their lives. Mad respect to both fighters 😎🤙🙏🙏
No doubt,Demetrious Johnson is the goat.he is the complete package of a fighter.more impirtant is...he's still humble.he can take anybody.
humble champion is the best champion
I think it would have been much closer if Rodtang had more experience countering grappling and takedowns, but the difference in experience was clear and DJ took the win. Great fight.
This is one of the reasons why on top of all Fighting sports, Boxing still stays on top. Only fair punches are allowed. No Kicks, No takedowns and especially No Choking
All pure fist fights
Whoever lands the best shot or endure the most will be announced as the winner
I remember always thinking that DJ wasn't given the amount of respect he deserved in the UFC. Not that he was dissed, but the conversation was always about other fighters. I blame that on the fact that DJ was always the classy guy that showed everyone respect and I don't think I've ever seen an instance where he tried to talk smack and hype himself up. I think him being humble as opposed to cocky got him overlooked in many discussions.
I think the the mixed rules is kinda stupid but it was still exciting to watch. DJ himself admits in an interview he would have an incredibly hard time against Rodtang in a pure kickboxing/muay thai fight. So I guess giving both fighters a chance to have an advantage over the other is fair. I'm glad DJ moved to ONE and that they are treating him well there and he's getting to eat. Also glad Rodtang lost to DJ cause he was obviously disappointed in that loss and he somehow got even more scary after that fight. As a fight fan and hobbyist I can't wait to see more from these two GOATS.
nice ! :)
Hey Lawrence, can you do a breakdown of Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr?
I really appreciate the names of the moves and the shot😂😂😂😂❤❤❤😂
I honestly think that DJ had more competition in ONE FC since the majority of Asian fighters belong in a smaller weight class than in the UFC where the heavier weight classes are the majority, which gives his reign in this promotion much more credit.
.i want to see a rematch
🔥🔥
Johnson is a smart fighter . From Philippines ♥️ .Rodtang is a strong fighter ♥️
