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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Now imagine if the co-main event was Rodtang, like it was supposed to be. I really hope the promotion takes off with this Amazon deal, they have a really cool product and some truly elite talent.
Avenging a loss to a bigger opponent at the age of 36 with such a brilliant knockout. No one can argue that isn't GOAT material, especially considering how threatening Moraes looked tonight.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
Going to be honest, idk if too many UFC fighters are throwing a knee there (due to rule differences & how close he was to falling and being grounded)… but DJ obviously had no hesitation and has a walkoff KO on his resume 🐐
I was talking this morning. I thought this might be where we finally see a DJ who is used to the new rules and has settled into comfort. It takes time to drill that so it’s automatic and natural. That was fun to watch: the duckunder, that punch followed by a very measured beautiful knee for the walkoff. DJ always gets me hyped.
DJs shorter height actually helped him here to slip into the pocket. Just smooth and crisp timing and execution from him. Weathered the storm early to pull this off. Phenomenal.
The size differential in this one had me shook, Moraes has no business in this weight class lol unreal win for DJ I thought this was curtains after round 2 but he broke Moraes down perfectly
Lmao hate how ONE keeps comparing flyweight classes to the UFC. Moraes could easily fight at 145 when DJ is a natural 125er. But that’s what makes DJ the GOAT
First few rounds I was really worried for DJ. I thought Moraes was just too big. But DJ's pace was relentless and he wore him down, then we saw the limitations of Moraes without the physical advantage. What an absolutely brilliant performance. He deserves the 50k.
He’s the GOAT man to join the UFC at that time dominate for the length he did. Join a different organization win a few fights lose, own up to the lose instead of saying it was a fluke. Learn from his mistakes and put on a dominating performance again. Man he truly shows there’s levels to MMA. Him and George St Pierre are game changers to MMA.
"We" didn't give up anything, cuz we still get to watch him kick ass :) Dana and the UFC fucked this one up (though they did get a bit of a bump with Masvidal's KO).
Watchu mean “gave this up”?….DJ out there helping build ONE up and bringing it to the masses meaning we get even more world class MMA. Seems like a win to me.
I use to hate on DJ in UFC. But DJ in ONE seems so dialed in against some real killer strikers. His work from the bottom in the first was so busy and offensive.
That setup was beautiful. The high knee/step through into a quick step he was using carries some risk (it can get you blasted like Holm was when she missed the kick vs Nunes on the first part), but it's a nice aggressive feint, switch, and way to make distance and take an angle, all rolled into one.
Wow DJ just fought an elite guy who is a weight class heavier. DJ is legendary for putting himself in this position where he has to fight like a madman
Yo he landed the knee and didn't even glance at him. He KNEW his ass was done. Absolutely flawless technique. Watch his footwork leading up to the knee. Perfection
An absolutely gorgeous sequence from DJ. Enters with a feint knee into a shift, feints the left hook that makes Moraes overcommit on the reaction, DJ ducks under while throwing the right straight which lands hard, then DJ shows incredible patience and waits because he knows when Adriano rebounds off the cage he'll be moving into the knee.
Mirrors / Alternate angles
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.
you couldn't write a better revenge story
Seriously DJ like a mortal combat character, has the nastiest finishers
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.
Last fight ended with knees. So he has to pay him back with one.
Can’t wait for someone to add Sagat’s Tiger Knee effects to the KO blow.
That’s my fucking GOAT
Live by the knee, die by the knee
Truly poetic.
That's a UFC legal knee too. Savage.
That must feel phenomenal to get that one back. Good for DJ
What a fucking finish holy shit
That was savage man got pure revenge right down to the finish.
Crazy enough that knee would’ve been completely legal in the ufc too
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]
DJ is a cardio freak. One of the best gas tanks in the sports history.
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.
INSANE!
V Trigger finish wtf
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.
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
HOW FUCKING SHIT! LET'S GO DJ!
No follow up strikes just turns and celebrates.
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
9/10 guys would've thrown that way too early and given him a chance to recover. DJ waited the exact perfect amount of time, absolute precision
Mighty Mouse refuses to stagnate as a fighter 🐐
God I wish he was still in the UFC.
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
The gap between DJ and the 2nd best FW of all time might be larger than the gap at any other weight class. Just the undisputed GOAT.
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.
Cruz and aldo died for this
Im okay with that
Blood for the blood gods
Every fighter from the 2010s era has been dying recently.
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
THOUGHT YOU HAD A KNEE BOYYYY
Liam Harrison in shambles
AHHHHHHHHHH
THERE NEVER WAS NO KNEE
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.
Leithwei bout?
THATS OUR FUCKING GOAT
DJ's the fucking man. What a legend
People forget about DJ when they talk about the current P4P.
🐐🐐
Style Points! After all that not even breathing hard for the interview. What a machine!
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.
Now imagine if the co-main event was Rodtang, like it was supposed to be. I really hope the promotion takes off with this Amazon deal, they have a really cool product and some truly elite talent.
GOAT shit
DJ is a fucking Legend!! What a fight, such a crazy matchup.
Savage walk off
Walks off immediately as he lands the knee, doesn't even wait for his opponent to fall.
YESSIRRRRR
Avenging a loss to a bigger opponent at the age of 36 with such a brilliant knockout. No one can argue that isn't GOAT material, especially considering how threatening Moraes looked tonight.
Damn! What a finish.
That’s my fucking goat
A knee for a knee. That right hook was absolutely perfect from DJ
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.
How can the tomatoes trade DJ with Ben Askren?
DJ must be pleased with that, he is doing more money, interesting fights, getting all the love
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.
It would've been an okay trade if Askren was in his prime. People forget how much of a monster Askren was.
Legend shit
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.
THE FUCKING GOAT.
That’s why he is the man
He is no man, he is the goat.
thats my goat
That was incredible. Inject the rubber match into my veins.
MMs movement and footwork is so beautiful. Treat to watch.
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.
He was fucking him up in the 3rd though.
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
Honestly that would be legal under UFC rule set. Just a perfect knee
DJ is amazing. What a way to get revenge.
I like Moraes, I think he could be champ in UFC and seems very humble in interviews.
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.
[удалено]
Might Mouse stalking him after that punch. Dude is still on another level.
DJ in the third round was god tier. Who else can pull off a walk away KO at flyweight
Survived the knees, gassed him, flying knee.
GOD DAMMNNN
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…
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!
Yessss mf Mighty Mouse
Knees beget knees
DJ IS TOP 3 GOAT. JON JONES FUMING RN.
Knockout of the year
[удалено]
FUCK YEAH!
That’s the greatest fighter of all time
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.
Demetrious Johnson is the best fucking fighter in the world!
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…
MIGHTY MOUSE FUCK YES
Undisputed goat. Jon who?
MIGHTY MOUSE IS BACK
POETIC JUSTICE
DJ got 2 iconic finishes in MMA, what a KO
Even more impressive when you consider how fucking huge Moraes is. It looked like DJ was fighting a Bantamweight out there.
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.
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.
He wasn't grounded though, caught him falling after bouncing off the cage
Actually landed that knee before Moraes even hit the floor so it would’ve been legal in the UFC too.
Here is your p4p #1
In the span of like 4 seconds:
Going to be honest, idk if too many UFC fighters are throwing a knee there (due to rule differences & how close he was to falling and being grounded)… but DJ obviously had no hesitation and has a walkoff KO on his resume 🐐
I was talking this morning. I thought this might be where we finally see a DJ who is used to the new rules and has settled into comfort. It takes time to drill that so it’s automatic and natural. That was fun to watch: the duckunder, that punch followed by a very measured beautiful knee for the walkoff. DJ always gets me hyped.
That knee wouldn't have landed if he fell to the ground. He wasn't even close to being grounded
What a fun fight and epic adjustments by DJ at 36 years old.
First 2 rounds had me worried, DJs gas tank really started to take over half way through the 3rd round, great KO!
That entry was fucking filthy. Jeeeeeesus
Dana absolutely shit the bed dropping Demetrious
WHAT. A. FIGHT.
Dj still looking fucking amazing
Good to see MM carrying the One strap after the roadblock 🥲
Was anyone else nervous everytime DJ lifted up his leg but didn't throw the kick?
THE WALK OFF AFTER DRAINING THAT KNEE. LEGEND
Dj still has pristine footwork, even at 36. That’s what won him this fight.
And this is up a weight class for him vs a younger guy who is clearly bigger.
DJs shorter height actually helped him here to slip into the pocket. Just smooth and crisp timing and execution from him. Weathered the storm early to pull this off. Phenomenal.
The size differential in this one had me shook, Moraes has no business in this weight class lol unreal win for DJ I thought this was curtains after round 2 but he broke Moraes down perfectly
Lmao hate how ONE keeps comparing flyweight classes to the UFC. Moraes could easily fight at 145 when DJ is a natural 125er. But that’s what makes DJ the GOAT
The true P4P king.
New mythical fighter: familiar-with-the-rules Demetrious Johnson
That knee would have been legal in the UFC. It was perfect!
Fuck it, DJ vs Lineker for double champ status. Would be insane
First few rounds I was really worried for DJ. I thought Moraes was just too big. But DJ's pace was relentless and he wore him down, then we saw the limitations of Moraes without the physical advantage. What an absolutely brilliant performance. He deserves the 50k.
Woke up my 2 year old celebrating lol, DJ better come with some mad TDD for the rubber match
This is what happens when you paw aimlessly like Moraes did here. You get slept every time. Throw with intent.
That was savage. The way Moraes drops cold after DJ walks away.
One of nastiest and cleanest walk KO of all time from the GOAT
I can’t believe they gave this dude away for askren but hey we got to watch street rat become a star out of it!!!!! /s
Bro why is Demetrious fighting a welterweight my god
He’s the GOAT man to join the UFC at that time dominate for the length he did. Join a different organization win a few fights lose, own up to the lose instead of saying it was a fluke. Learn from his mistakes and put on a dominating performance again. Man he truly shows there’s levels to MMA. Him and George St Pierre are game changers to MMA.
What a fight and what a finish! I think this is DJ's most brutal finish. Incredible combo.
DJ is so under appreciated, always fought bigger guys, endless tank, creative striking, bed-spring tdd, and a long reign, god. damn. legend.
We gave up this for Ben askren
"We" didn't give up anything, cuz we still get to watch him kick ass :) Dana and the UFC fucked this one up (though they did get a bit of a bump with Masvidal's KO).
Watchu mean “gave this up”?….DJ out there helping build ONE up and bringing it to the masses meaning we get even more world class MMA. Seems like a win to me.
Instead of paying $70, we got to watch for $9.99/month + everything else on Prime
DED
Love it
Amazing fight and amazing card all around. Gonna have to watch One just as much as ufc now
Holy fuck DJ knew Moraes was out before the ref did, the way his body folded off the cage
What an awesome finish!
dude the knees to the body were hurting moraes but no one including DJ noticed.Even the knees to the thigh were hurting moraes he was wincing
Damn, this flying knee walkoff KO is up there with the suplex armbar. Great fight by DJ.
Moraes looked huge. Glad that DJ won this one
I use to hate on DJ in UFC. But DJ in ONE seems so dialed in against some real killer strikers. His work from the bottom in the first was so busy and offensive.
Wow. My new favorite DJ finish. That was beautiful.
That setup was beautiful. The high knee/step through into a quick step he was using carries some risk (it can get you blasted like Holm was when she missed the kick vs Nunes on the first part), but it's a nice aggressive feint, switch, and way to make distance and take an angle, all rolled into one.
GOAT. The walkoff was cold af didn't even look at him. Insane performance !!
Wow DJ just fought an elite guy who is a weight class heavier. DJ is legendary for putting himself in this position where he has to fight like a madman
THATS STILL MY GOAT
I love One and DJ. That was beautiful.
That was insane how he walked away, didn’t even look at him
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arcuJZy6-z4&ab_channel=HenryCejudo
That call on the commentary was so flat given what happened..
Yo he landed the knee and didn't even glance at him. He KNEW his ass was done. Absolutely flawless technique. Watch his footwork leading up to the knee. Perfection
An absolutely gorgeous sequence from DJ. Enters with a feint knee into a shift, feints the left hook that makes Moraes overcommit on the reaction, DJ ducks under while throwing the right straight which lands hard, then DJ shows incredible patience and waits because he knows when Adriano rebounds off the cage he'll be moving into the knee.
It was free on Prime, yet we watched less ads and heard less ad reads then a PPV for the UFC
Dude the fucking trigger discipline to pick that shot on a falling opponent. My lord I'm calling the police.
My GOAT!
Ladies and gentlebros....... this is your p4p
Dj is the perfect fighter. If you could give him OSPs body he would be the undisputed goat because he would of killed jon jones lol
