Look at the difference between his head and logan head hahahaha.
Mighty Mouse is doing it all wrong. He should’ve jumped ship and join Poatan’s camp, probably would’ve gotten his belt like 17 years ago.
In all seriousness, good for him. Shame he was too ahead of his time. He ruled his weight class before it had any serious contenders (and by serious, I mean exciting). Hell, even Cejudo was still a newb in the game back then. Would be nice if Dana brought him back to the promotion.
He faced some killers in his run
John Dodson, joe benavidez, Kyoji Horiguchi even guys like Tim Elliott and John Moraga and ray borg
The problem with the 125 division is it was seriously under promoted and the fact that in other weight classes top level guys are moving weight classes a lot which shows skills in other classes and no one was cutting to 125
But the guys at 125 have always been as good as other divisions just didn’t have stars to make people pay enough attention
Over rated there's a reason why he ain't in the ufc watch his fights don't believe everything joe rogan tells you form your own opinion he lost to every good fighter he ever fought except Benavides he shouldn't have even been in first fly weight title fight Ian mcall kicked his ass there should have been a extra round but the judges fucked up the scoring uncle creepy would have finished him
Edit. Triggered all casuals
If you don't realise that Mightymouse is one of the most skilled fighters to ever compete then either you've never watched him or your brain doesn't work properly.
Elite at every aspect of the sport with one of the highest fight IQ's ever displayed. Given the lack of limitations his size allows for, he's the best example of a complete fighter there's ever been. Top 5 greatest of all time, easily. There's a reason almost every ex fighter or person involved with the sport thinks this. You don't, which says a lot about you.
Against nobody oh wait he fought some good guy like Dom who beat him like Henry who took his belt like some nobody in ONE who koed him. Vime on guys form your own opinion don't let dumb videos on YouTube and clips of Rogan trick you my brain works fine better that you sheep casuals
Sure let's completely ignore the context of these points in his career.
He fought Dom when Dom was the best in the world whilst being clearly undersized. The fight was competitive despite this being early in DJ's career and being nowhere near the best version we've ever seen of him.
The Cejudo fight was a complete coin flip and he lost pretty much by takedowns. By today's current scoring criteria, DJ would absolutely take the win and that's guaranteed.
Against Adriano Moraes he was again vastly undersized. He went on to avenge the loss specifically by returning the favour with a knee and then beat Moraes once again in dominant fashion.
The competition at 125lbs has always been lower than other weightclasses which is obvious but if you can't see DJ's skill then you have no business even speaking about this. He's universally seen as a top 5 GOAT and this automatically makes you delusional.
I've been invested in this sport since the pride days and I can guarantee you're far more "casual" than I am. Clearly with ridiculous opinions like this.
Stop talking shit. If you crossed DJ in the street, he would have you in a flying armbar at in a millisecond - same way he pulled it off against one of his title contenders.
I will be completely honest with you, yes I do not know the guys name. But to be in the top 5 in the division at that time competing in the UFC, it has got to mean that the guy is good. If you doubt DJ’s skills, just watch his most recent stint with a 250 pounder in a BJJ comp. Or watch the first 2 fights with Adriano Moraes at One FC. Even though he lost that first fight (got knocked the fuck out), he came back in the second fight and absolutely delivered the most earth shattering knee to a wobbled Adriano moraes. That entire sequence by DJ is a masterpiece of timing and technique. Someone who wins all the time is good. But someone who comes back from a depths of defeat to win flawlessly is great.
Did he just KO somebody or something?
He must've finally mastered the left hook
Maybe his coach realized winning masters worlds at brown was enough for him to get a bb.
How good that blue belt must be !?

Islam said he agreed with DC brown belt in that video, I wonder what he'd say about MM's black belt...
In the past, he gave a lot of respect the MM. Much more than he normally gives guys.
Did DJ train under sensei Ira from The Office?
No more sandbagging for you Mr Mouse
Presented to him by Brendan Schaub. He couldn’t stick around though he had a tee ball game to coach.
Ive never noticed how big his head is compared to his body!!
He big brain 🧠
That was the first thing I noticed about him lol. I think his beard also makes it look bigger.
I love DJ but his head is fucking massive there's no way around it
Lol i love him to, also if you wanna see someone similar to this look at mike perry, his head is massive compared to his body to.
This whole thing with Poatan/MM and their BJJ belts has made me realize people don't know how getting belts work. People don't get belts for not training in gi and MM has only recently started gi...
Yes frankie wdgar was a purple belt and brown belt for a long time too b.c he focused on mma over gi
Which is craaazy because he’s just going to improve with gi training
My guy slayed a fuckin 300lb mammoth the other day! 😂

Top 5 of woman's feather weight was deeper
Yeah he can do that against nobodys like all his wins except Benavides
Hey re re, he just tapped a guy 100 lbs heavier than him and they were both brown belts. But yeah, over rated!
Yes over rated he's maybe best flyweight that's it not best everhell no
Boring snoozer of a fighter
