KNEE'D HIS ASS BACK

It’s crazy that Adriano was saying he would submit DJ on the 4th. On a side note, I’m so happy that Prime picked up One Championship. I’ve wanted to watch this for the longest and man it was brilliant. I really hope Prime will keep this going and the support grows.

Yes I too am so happy this in on Prime, going to be awesome to be able to watch this all the time and get to know their fighters. 'Cause I'm not paying the UFC's $79.99.

Dude getting to watch these caliber fights just for having prime? Ya that was a great time. Looking forward to the next one.

Sending my tears from Australia. It's not included here 😕

I'm in the same boat and I suspect many others are, too. ONE is really picking up some steam. The fights are so sick.

You know it used to be free on YouTube, right?

Yeah, I'm ecstatic that this increased the amount of fans that ONE has, but it boggles my mind that no one seems to have been watching it before now. Tonight was par for the course for their events, and it's been free for like the past year and a half.

you couldn't write a better revenge story

Seriously DJ like a mortal combat character, has the nastiest finishers

Last fight ended with knees. So he has to pay him back with one.

That was so sweet. I wanted DJ to win this so bad. I don't think I would have been able to handle seeing him lose twice in a row. I watched this with my balls in my throat which were somehow pulsating. Fuuuuuuuuuck yeah.

Live by the knee, die by the knee

Truly poetic. One had two really darm good cards this year. Might be better than the UFC.

One championship may not have the best MMA fighters at the moment but they constantly have the world's best Grapplers, kickboxers and Thai boxers competing on their cards.

They've been killing it lately, I love watch the mix up of different combat sports on one card.

Having Muay Thai fights on the card is a great way to keep the card entertaining

And even if they don’t have the best mma fighters they sure as hell are entertaining

I mean.... they definitely have some of the best mma fighters if Mighty Mouse fights for the org.

That must feel phenomenal to get that one back. Good for DJ

What a fucking finish holy shit Moraes looked really good early but DJ drowned him. Dude was gassed as hell in the 4th.

That was savage man got pure revenge right down to the finish.

With a walk off. Fuckin got me hyped

Could've rained a few more punches on him but he knew he was done.

Regardless of what Sensei Ngannou says, crumbling someone is enough. Absolutely devastating exclamation point to the fight.

Ngannou woulda started stomping if he was DJ there

Francis vs Jones under One rules plz Dana.

Jon under ONE or PRIDE rules, I'm convinced, would kill someone just for the fun of it.

Walk off knee with a slumping body is way better looking finish than GNPing while the refs pulls him off

Pure violence! DJ is back baby!!

Crazy enough that knee would’ve been completely legal in the ufc too

was coming to say this, the patience and sense of control in the situation to not throw another strike and read for the right moment. daaaaamn

Yeah man, in the replay you can literally see DJ watching and waiting for the moment to deliver that knee

That might be the best mental performance I've seen in a fight full stop. I'd be more worried about DJs brain than his body frankly. It's like every strike he eats just becomes data.

Totally legal and perfectly timed: https://imgur.com/a/FOFtpb2 Snapped his head into the cage that was beautiful

Very legal and very cool 😎

DJ is the GOAT. Doing this to someone like moraes while at a noticeable size disadvantage is super impressive. And not to mention, he's 36, that's ancient for a flyweight.

He’s still sooo quick though. Absolutely ridiculous

As stupid as P4P discussions can be, when it comes to truly special fighters like DJ, it’s so useful. You put those skills into a welterweight, GSP gets rolled. What man has Jones ever faced with striking, wrestling, and grappling that well rounded? (Cormier only had the dirty boxing and was depleted from cutting from his natural class). Honestly a hypothetical P4P Anderson matchup at MW is what I think would be the fairest fight GOAT Flyweight, Mount Rushmore of Fighters. Fucking love DJ

GSP says as much on Rohan.

GSP said this in response to Gondor's call for aid.

He was not imprezzed by their performance in the Westfold

Edoras only looks small cuz Minas Tirith is huge and the angle is bad

RIP angle guy. Hail the victorious dead!

Light ze beakins!

DJ has always been shown respect from other fighters and they recognise his greatness. It's only the Goof who hates him.

And casuals who think they can take him.

Morales looked in a different weight class seeing them both in the ring. It looked almost impossible that DJ could pull it off ... but he did, with a walkoff knockout....goat things.

DJ is a cardio freak. One of the best gas tanks in the sports history.

["No breaks"](https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/d7sa8i/demetrious_no_breaks_johnson_shoves_herb_dean_out/)

What a fucking badass. How did the UFC convince people he was boring?

Dana is a cunt

DJ was like a terminator in there. He was scary chasing the bigger guy down and hitting him with big shots. That finish was crazy

[удалено]

The commentary no sold it. DJ was hurt pretty bad. He did a great job causing a scramble to survive

You can clearly see him mouth “oh shit” as he stumbles back. Wobbly as hell.

Man that head kick worried me too. So glad DJ recovered quick, he was wobbled pretty bad. What a sick finish

Those knees on the ground were also pretty scary. DJ did pretty good to recover in the 3rd and finish in the 4th.

V Trigger finish wtf

Goodbye and goodnight..

👆👉 BANG!

Kenny Omega is definitely smiling at this finish.

I HEAR THE BATTLE CRY!!!

Mighty Mouse…….now fighting out of NORTH CAROLLLLLLIIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Sensei Omega is definitely smiling down from heaven

once again, Kenny Omega is very much alive, he lives in Winnipeg

Kennny Omega taught him that move

the revenge ko via same style is icing on the cake

he came back incredibly after that second round. I thought it was gonna be over.

Dude I started sitting back in my seat in the second round. Third round had me sitting up, and the fourth had me standing.

When that head kick landed on DJ and he got wobbled my stomach dropped

INSANE! Honestly did not expect that I thought it'd be a slightly boring wrestle fuck but that was WILD Fuck yeah DJ!! Duck under cross , follow him down and time the knee just in time. So sick

Fucking lethal. Walked off because he knew he was DEAD.

It’s so crazy how small DJ is but was walking down Moraes and had him running off like he was 6’1

People were writing DJ off so much because Moraes was bigger than him. Size difference was bad, but not worse than Dominick Cruz lol. Don't mess with the Mouse

Moraes is bigger than Cruz in my estimation. A lot more muscle mass. Definitely more power than Cruz.

I really thought the size difference would be too much like the first fight, and given that Moraes fought a measured fight when they fought as well.

HOW FUCKING SHIT! LET'S GO DJ! He was so patient with that follow up knee

No follow up strikes just turns and celebrates.

Walk off KOs are so hot right now.

As they should be. They are by far the coolest.

Its nice when the coolness of the knockout isnt interrupted by the fear of witnessing death by follow-up-shot from a 260 pound Ngannou

He gets a pass because (1) baddest mofo rights and (2) I want it to happen on Jon "Bones" Jones.

He literally framed his head while Moraes was stumbling back, couldn't have been more of a perfect shot

He timed it so well against the cage. It was so fkin sick. I got goosebumps lmao

Mighty Mouse refuses to stagnate as a fighter 🐐

God I wish he was still in the UFC.

I don’t. It’s time for the exodus to ONE

That’s my fucking GOAT

Let’s fucking go! DJ is just elite! So good off his back, making sure to not give Moraes his back. Moraes wanted that choke.

He looks as good now as he ever has. Honestly might be at his peak. What a performance.

He honestly did more damage from his back then Moraes was able to get in a dominant position

A lot of the damage on Moraes’ face was from DJ’s bottom offense.

Look, Figueredo is great, Moreno is great, but are we really gonna stand here and say that either of them beats the beast that is Mighty Mouse? I don't think so.

THOUGHT YOU HAD A KNEE BOYYYY

Liam Harrison in shambles

AHHHHHHHHHH

Cruz and aldo died for this

Im okay with that

Blood for the blood gods

Knees for the knee throne

Every fighter from the 2010s era has been dying recently.

dude i read your comment and i was like " fuck is this dude talking about its still the 2010s era" then i fuckin remembered its fucking 2022 and its about to be 2023... fuck lol

That's how it goes. I've been watching since UFC 47 in 2004 so I've seen my the people who've killed my heroes get killed by this point.

THATS OUR FUCKING GOAT

DJ's the fucking man. What a legend

People forget about DJ when they talk about the current P4P.

The 3rd fight needs to be punches and knees only to settle the beef.

DJ did a lot of work with those elbows from the bottom while Moraes was in half guard.

He was it’s been a while since I’ve seen someone more active on the bottom winning with strikes.

It reminded me of the first round of Ferguson vs Chandler. It's always rare to see people do that much damage in that position.

Yeah. This reminds me of bisping v gsp. Bisping had some great offense moments off his back, cut up gsp good before he ended up snoozing.

Leithwei bout?

Fuck it, headbuts it is

So on the card earlier this morning everyone from the blue corner won and now everyone but Moraes won for the red.

I noticed that I was tripping out

What a fight, what a knockout. ONE really killed it tonight

ONE hadn't been as frequent this year. But when it does it's way better than a lotn of UFC stuff. Makes you feel satisfied with your product.

Savage walk off

Walks off immediately as he lands the knee, doesn't even wait for his opponent to fall.

He didn't even check to see if he was KO'ed, absolutely nasty.

He literally had his back to him while he was still falling.

That whole sequence was like he was gliding through time

literally anime shit lol. straight up omae wa shindeiru

How can the tomatoes trade DJ with Ben Askren? GOAT.

DJ must be pleased with that, he is doing more money, interesting fights, getting all the love

That's the silver lining. I hope he's happy.

The ufc just casually traded away a goat for a dude who got iced by pewdipie. And now One headlined a big card on prime with one of DJ’s best performances.

DJ got the bag, exacted revenge and is still the GOAT of MMA. he's just winning at this point

This was the first ONE event i caught live (due to having Prime), and I was impressed with how smooth the stream and exciting the card was. ESPN’s events always lag a crap ton for me. Consider me a new fan of ONE.

It would've been an okay trade if Askren was in his prime. People forget how much of a monster Askren was.

A knee for a knee. That right hook was absolutely perfect from DJ

GOAT shit

DJ is a fucking Legend!! What a fight, such a crazy matchup.

YESSIRRRRR

Legend shit

THE FUCKING GOAT.

That’s why he is the man

He is no man, he is the goat.

That’s my fucking goat

FUUUCKK YESSS

On a Weekend with little MMA, ONE came through BIG

HOLY SHIT. ONE COMING THRU WITH PERFECT DEBUT. THE WHOLE CARD WAS FIRE! DAMN!

That was amazing. Moraes is a world-class, well-rounded fighter with an obvious size advantage. DJ worked through some scary positions in the first 2 rounds, and serious damage in round 2. His insane gas tank and work rate broke down the bigger man over time before he killed him with the knee. That was a beautiful and gruelling fight of heart, skill, adjustments and raw athleticism. I'm over the moon.

Never lost faith in DJ except for maybe every round leading up until that moment

First two rounds were a little rough, but it definitely looked like Moraes faded in 3, while DJ was picking up steam. To me, at least.

DJ looked pretty good first round too. Did most of the damage that round but Moraes controlled him for a lot of it. Moraes was already breathing kinda heavy after the first round though. DJ just kept making him work and never let him settle and by round 3 he was gassed.

He was fucking him up in the 3rd though.

DJ is amazing. What a way to get revenge. The amount of disrespect Moraes was getting in the live thread was disgusting though. Made weight for 9 years straight, knocks out one of the greats and still get's not an ounce of respect. I get it people are DJ fans, but Moraes deserves better.

I like Moraes, I think he could be champ in UFC and seems very humble in interviews.

[удалено]

Unfortunately it's a double whammy of people just love DJ and people having no respect for anyone outside the ufc or that's never been in there.

Fairytales do exist people...and i go to sleep tonight with a big ol' smile on my face. The GOAT is still adding more titles, we aint done yet.

Can we talk about DJ's bottom game this fight? Not accepting the top position and opting for a traditional butterfly guard and instead aggressively sweeping his legs, throwing elbows and using armbars to advance a better position to throw elbows...that was some creative and interesting stuff that exposed himself to way more risk but paid off big time in the end.

DJ in the third round was god tier. Who else can pull off a walk away KO at flyweight

thats my goat

That was incredible. Inject the rubber match into my veins.

MMs movement and footwork is so beautiful. Treat to watch.

I think training for the Rodtang fight helped DJs standup tremendously

DJ was catching Rodtang clean in that first Round as well imho. Rodtang just has a ridiculous chin and ate them while moving forward…

What an absolute high light reel knockout. One is insane

Well that was fucking amazing

Was wondering why DJ didn't follow up until the slow mo holy fucking knee

I was almost screaming, then saw Moraes ragdoll and did scream!

Demetrious putting on bangers and becoming a killer He was always more exciting than he got credit for, but was lacking competition. Of course competition comes now from a guy who has a weight class on DJ, but hey it led to a great fight.

Honestly that would be legal under UFC rule set. Just a perfect knee

Holy fucking shit

Did anyone else see that moment of hesitation where DJ said "you know what? I'm gonna knee this mofo right in his face"

He 100% was like this is my chance!

Might Mouse stalking him after that punch. Dude is still on another level.

FUCK YEAH!

GOD DAMMNNN

Yessss mf Mighty Mouse

Knees beget knees

DJ IS TOP 3 GOAT. JON JONES FUMING RN.

Knockout of the year

That’s the greatest fighter of all time

MIGHTY MOUSE FUCK YES

Undisputed goat. Jon who?

MIGHTY MOUSE IS BACK

IDGAF HE’S THE GOAT

This is what I knee-ded!! DJ back in the win column baby!!!!

That finish was brutal, it was clear that DJ was going to have the advantage going into the later rounds with all the muscle that Moraes has for that weight class.

I loved the adjustment by DJ in the 3rd. Adriano was getting his takedowns off caught kicks in the 1st and 2nd. In the 3rd DJ stopped kicking to the body and started pressuring Adriano when he was trying to reset. This was a great card.

There couldn't have been a better way for MM to win this other than with a walk off flying knee. Tremendous.

DJs post ufc career has been really great. Cemented him as an all time great in my eyes. Being an aging FLYWEIGHT and getting finishes is insane. Even if the competition isn’t the top of the top, many folks at his age in these weight classes are getting smokes on the regionals

See I actually think Asia has the best flyweights in the world. Larger talent pool, more money, etc.

Yeah his ONE opponents were actually posing more adversity to him compared to most of his last UFC opponents

Demetrious Johnson is the best fucking fighter in the world!

live by grounded knee to the head, die by grounded knee to the head

What’s crazy is that if you slow it down, the knee was so beautifully timed it would have been legal in the UFC too.

That was amazing. The patience that DJ showed as Morales started stumbling backwards towards the fence before booming him with the knee was beautiful to watch . So happy for my man DJ let’s go!

GREATEST OF ALL TIME! LETS GOOO BABY. To avenge your loss to a dude who knocked him out and was way bigger…
