I think Mighty Mouse made a smart decision here. He's retired and enjoying it, I think if it was his prime he'd be more open to it, but he deserves to enjoy retirement.
@@RubbersPVP you jon jones d-riders are really special. last I checked DJ isnt holding the belt hostage. Tom has said many times he doesnt give a f**k about fighting jon jones specifically, he just wants to fight for the belt.
If he comes back, I’d actually be disappointed. Don’t let Chael or anyone convince you this is a good idea. Retiring means your heart isn’t in it or your body isn’t. He made that decision for a reason. Calling someone out who is retired, no matter how good they still are, is just a clown move.
Fk that, the man shot his shot. I never clown someone who is just shooting their shot especially in a situation like this where who else does Pantoja have? Kai is the only one left for him to beat and Kai who has one victory after back to back losses and beaten one top 10 fighter (only 8th ranked at that) in his last 8 fights? Love Kai and I agree Mighty should stay retired but I think it's foolish to clown him for shooting his shot
@@bizzzzDJ doesn’t care about money. He cares about his health and the rest of his life with his kids and wife. 😂🤦♂️ What a small world perspective you have. 😂
@@dougie2631Him having no one else doesn’t mean disrespect the goat of your division in order to try and get a payday. 😂 DJ is retired. Hates the UFC upper echelon. Has zero to prove. 😂
I really wish DJ would step back into the octagon for a few fights. It's wild how so many people have only just discovered him after his retirement-his social media has absolutely blown up! Being a gamer has brought in a whole new crowd to appreciate him. I’ve been following UFC since the early days, though my interest has come and gone over the years-kind of like with football. It honestly took me a while to really care about the lightweight fighters, but over time, I think we’ve all grown to appreciate the incredible skillsets of the smaller guys. Sure, they might not be able to beat the big guys physically, but their technique and precision are unmatched. I enjoy hearing DJ speak; he’s got such a great perspective, and clearly, a lot of others feel the same way. Seeing him fight again is probably just wishful thinking, but hey, a guy can dream, right?
@ His last fight was in 23, last ufc fight in 2018. Lately he has only grappled, and was talking about taking a break from everything. My only wish is to have him appear in the UFC again, the organization with the biggest eyeballs. It’s night and day with the fan base compared to 2018, vs now. Not really talking about hardcore fans , more the new ones. I think more people are aware of him now, just in the last few years.
He’s retired. He doesn’t need to be one of the champs that keeps coming back due past his time. The previous champs that hang around all end up looking at the lights after a brutal knock out. He’s like Conor where he made his money and bounced minus a broken leg
I feel the same way. So disappointed. Demetrious is my P4P, GOAT or whatever Batman tittle you can come up with Demetrious has it. That also makes me not question his decisions though. That list is now Khabib, GSP and him. And what goes for all of them is they seem to have made the right choice, no matter how little I like it.
@@ts0088 Why do casuals hate khabib so much? Lol he dogwalked Conor and was never even remotely challenged in his career, never bled. Yeah he was kind of boring but if you don’t think he’s one of the goats you should just stop talking about MMA.
@@Professorfrenchfry The question should he why do casuals love Khabib so much. Look up his resume and the ppl he avoided. Then compare that to others. Do your research. I’ll be waiting for your apology.
@@Professorfrenchfry Alot of fans feel khabib didn't defend enough times to attain goat status. Zero losses is cool but all the other goats have many more defenses. Silva,JJ, GSP, Mighty. I agree with this point. He also won a vacant belt. So yeah.
@@priceysquirrel3489 Lol I rank all those guys ahead of Khabib too. But to act like it's so crazy for someone to have Khabib as the GOAT is silly. I don't personally agree but people have all kinds of different criteria for who they consider the best. He didn't want to keep fighting for whatever reason, there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe he would've lost a fight if he stuck around. But at the end of the day, he dominated professional fighters, including McGregor and Gaethje. He tried to fight Holloway but Holloway got concussed right before the fight. Nate Diaz, Eddie Alvarez, Anthony Pettis and many more literally refused to fight Khabib. McGregor was ducking him for over a year. The narrative of him ducking people has always been so dumb.
Idk about this narrative. Is it the ufc fault that fans don't buy flyweight headline cards the way they do heavier weights? I think its the fault of the casual fan
The ufc traded DJ for Ben Asscream. Cant be much more insulting than that. DJ is the real g.o.a.t. No steroids, no ducking fights, only top level competition
I never enjoyed watching MM fight, and I enjoyed the sanctimonious "superfans" preaching about how that means I'm _just not pure enough,_ even less. But the dude earned his respect. If he wants to be retired, good for him. One heck of a career.
Makes sense to me, I assume Mighty Mouse has more than enough money and 0 incentive to get back at it. This is a young man's sport, DJ accomplished a lot during his career, he's 38 years old let the man enjoy his retirement.
I remember how Dana treated Demetrious when he was in the U.F.C. and it's wonderfully satisfying seeing Mighty Mouse in a position financially to tell the U.F.C. and Dana to go pound sand.
Didn't surprise me at all. Maybe in a year or two, he might decide that he wants to get back into competing at the highest level. But he seems to be enjoying himself right now.
I love DJ response. He already turned down a 2 million dollar fight from a promotion. Dana would never match that. I would have been more impressed if Pantoja called out Mokaev. That would have been legendary. Flyweight is getting exciting.
Id love to see Demetrious Johnson fight again. He has nothing left to prove. Hes the greatest fighter to ever live. The most well rounded fighter ever. Hes not in his prime though. Alexander would beat DJ now but he wouldn't beat prime DJ
Uhhh… DJ is retired tho? He’s in his late 30s, he hasn’t incurred as much head trauma throughout his career, he’s financially stable, the man’s won at life😂
Pantoja e muito bravo , esta de parabéns ja e um dos melhores da categoria porém nao acho que ele luta com o Demétrius, vai ter wue bater em outros cara para seguir o sei legado.
Unfortunately there really isn't anybody left except Kai and Kai has one win over one top 10 fighter in last 8 fights so that's not going to do much for his legacy. Honestly, kind of a crap situation for Pantoja
Pantoja has been very impressive, but I don't think that performance puts him in the conversation with Demetrious. DJ's wins over Cejudo and Borg were much more impressive to me. DJ was finishing guys left and right and did it 11 times. Pantoja needs 4-5 more title defenses before this is even a conversation.
At bantamweight?? Figgy would smoke pantoja Again bro, figgy is the worst matchup for pantoja, has both the wrestling/grappling AND A FUCKING ALEX PEREIRA LEVEL PUNCHING POWER AT FLYWEIGHT, he could crack pantoja especially now, idk how tf Moreno beat figgy I guess figgy decided to be shit on those days but now pantoja and Moreno should stay tf away from figgy
MM said in his response: im not the goat or the best anymore,, im happely retired. this i can respect compared to all Jon's BS reasons for not goin up against tom
I'm not willing to call DJ the GOAT because if you look at his fights, who tf are even more than half of those people. You look at a guy like Jones, or GSP and you see all killers
This is similar to guys calling out khabib knowing damn well he will never come back. They just hope it makes them look cool. It might to the casuals, but to the real fans, you look dumb.
only mentions the brazilians but moreno is better then both of them, what a joke. ofcourse figeredo won, pantoja is a joke with injections, and dana put this garbage into matches with a real champion, same thing happened with chandler, ofcourse they have to cheat
Pantoja should try again but bring in the UFC . Call for himself and Mighty Mouse to be the coaches for the next contender's series. Maybe the content and coaching aspect paired with the extra prep time could entice Mighty Mouse back
DJ is the goat of his division. No one comes close. It was a pathetic call out by pantoja. 😂 DJ is retired and has literally zero to prove to anyone, especially not pantoja. 🤷🏼♂️ He wants to use DJ’s legacy for his own growth without any actual cause or reason to do so. Why would he ever come back to the UFC after they treated him like they did? 😂

Pantoja is good. And has no one else to fight to prove it against. It apparent why he call3d put dj but dude sounds like he's good not doing it
A great call out a year late. The fight should've been at UFC 300 before Demetrious retired.
Calling out a guy who retired a few months ago isn't a good callout. DJ is 38 and past his prime
Demetrius is happy.
Mighty Mouse is the GOAT
That’s debatable

Would you be pumped for a pantoja vs dj matchup?
Shaved head pantoja has a different aire about him...😎💯 feels like greatness in the making

Mighty Mouse vs Pantoja on Fight Pass Invitational, black belt vs. black belt. You're welcome.
DJ already retired so what is he supposed to do
Mighty Mouse is a legend and the UFC screwed him.
I wish, in my heart of hearts, that UFC and ONE could work together and start doing co-promotions together.
UFC would be fire with my muay thai, but One's MMA division is way too thin.
I know he already retired but people talk like DJ is 42. Guys, he's almost the same as Pereira.
As if this wasn't the world's most predictable outcome. It would be all risk and no upside. DJ is more than content sticking to streaming video games.
I remember how Dana treated Demetrious when he was in the U.F.C. and it's wonderfully satisfying seeing Mighty Mouse in a position financially to tell the U.F.C. and Dana to go pound sand.

Why the fuck would he go back to a company which treated him badly.
DJ is only 4 years older than Pantoja.
4 years in your thirties is a lot actually, even more in the lower weight classes
@@kyankukkiwonyes its like saying a 10 year old is only 4 years older than a 6 year old. A lot can change

With all due respect 😊
Does anybody really even think the UFC would ever allow that? GSP vs Bisping all over again.

Cejudo too chunky for 125 now he's a bantamweight
Am i the only one who feels pantoja deserves a shot at bantemweight gold🤔

That's what i thought too....he wants goat 🐐 status....
Why would mighty mouse come back 2 a organisation who disrespected him, he's the best ever
i think he might have said yes if it wasnt the ufc. i dont think he would do the ufc any favours at this point.
The Pantoja glaze is crazy. Calling him the best ever for beating a guy who never even fought in the ufc 😂
Demetrius "Mighty Duck" Johnson 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

DJ is a retired 41 year old. Come back like Miocic? No thanks.
He is 38mr accurate
@HeliodromusScorpio big difference. Since you're such a history expert tell me how many guys have won a title from 155 down over the age of 35.
