Ofc, its mma.
Mantap.pemain yang sangat .bagus saling menghargai 👍👍👍🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🙏🙏🙏
Rodtang, the battle above also doesn't necessarily win, let alone the battle below
@@aungmoesatt1370 real life I love u so I don't want
The way they knelt before eachother at the end gets me everytime. Always appreciate the mutual respect between fighters
Reminds us of what martial arts is all about
watch this fight and then watch nick kyrgios freak out over the slightest thing in a tennis match. such a big difference.
@@yanwain9454 lol is this why I keep seeing that name recently
@@swindle888yamani2 paganism and kill*ng
I Love It.
Props to Rodtang for taking on the challenge. He knew the ground game was going to be completely out of his element
100%. If it was stand up only he would have won...most likely by stoppage.
It's one thing for him to fight against an MMA fighter with MMA rules included. But, damn, to have your first MMA rules fight against Demetrious Johnson? Sheesh.
@@inner28. tbf at the beginning I was more worried for DJ during the muay tai rounds than I was for Rostand during the mma rounds. Rodtang is legit scary. Lol. Was afraid DJ might get knocked tf out. Lol
@@Brad-ut1ro Mu concerns were the complete opposite. I know MM had the striking skills to hold him off, but I also knew that Rodtang would lose easily, having no BJJ/grappling skills is obviously inevitable for it to go the way it did. Hats off to him for giving it a go though
@@Sorted906 Why would you be worried for Rodtang? Getting submitted isn't bad at all compared to getting knocked out.
Demetrious is insane, the ufc's biggest mistake losing this guy.
Then to say he was too dominant and boring to watch
@Paul Blackman hype > talent
emm not at all lolssss
not much interest in weight class and not exactly packed with top fighters at the weight
@@sambog2635 Spoken like a casual.. . I wouldn't laugh out loud. the only thing that's funny here is if he fought you he would embarrass you..
@@rhrh4989 u ro sooooo funny, not
DJ is a beast. He was able to hold on versus Rodtang with Muay Thai rules and did his job quickly with mma rules. A beast.
Absolute beast.. truly is one of the best well rounded mma fighter
a beast is always running lol rodtang is not like that
Straight muay and dj gets turned into hamburger. Change my mind. Or anything goes match. Let him try to do that while Rod breaks multie body parts.
@@canislupis081376 yeah switch it to str8 mma and we'll seen minnie end rodtang again.
@@GsQDoom no doubt. Thing is, a fighter should be allowed to use their full ability. So, I would love to see a 'anything goes' match between them
That was off the charts entertaining. Love seeing the experimentation with rules and the juxtaposition of styles.
Honestly it's like a breath of fresh air! So much red tape is involved in the American MMA scene with all the different states an their athletic commissions. I truly find myself falling in love with ONE championship.
Rodtang has a lot of pride and heart! Dudes a beast, he didn’t want to tap out !
@Apple Bananas I think he was passing out - the referee intervened of course
@Apple Bananas but he didn't ...real warriors never tap they go sleep,go sleep.
Rodtang that was badass went to sleep
Rodtang is a legend for going to sleep. He did not tap out!
@Apple Bananas he did not the referee stop the fight. Rodtang fell asleep
D.J. the most well-rounded fighter in history I say, highest level in all aspects of MMA, he's my choice for GOAT.
jooon boooonessss JooooooooooneSSSS

@@nicolbolas8758 ... took a minute to translate gibberish into message, maybe cuz there was no h in joooon lol
@@williamdenton2254 no H with Jon Jones but I get it lol
@@sleepytwiggaming ...ah shoot you got me!... no 'h' in Jon Jones spelling, even though I knew that I still goofed it lol.
DJ knew he got it in the bag with his ground game. But damn Rodtang.. You either win or u sleep. My guy Rodtang is a beast. Mad respect to his heart.
Rodtang is a beast! Goes to show you that no matter how good you are in standup, if you can't fight on the ground in a real 1 v 1 fight, you are at a disadvantage.
I a real defense he has many other options.
Eye poke bite so it is not a given fact groundfighting is the winner
@@AS-dk3ku It's easy to dodge pokes while you are in control and biting doesn't even hurt haha! :D GRAPPLING SUPREME!!
@@Wall-36969 you never fought real or ? Bite not hurt hahahaha. Yes you can avoid eye poke easy😁😁😂😂😂😂
@@Wall-36969 biting doe not hurt? lol. Tell that to Holyfield then. And eyes poking is easy to dodge? You have never been in any kind of fight lol, you are dilusional.
@@AS-dk3ku thats kind of true...you can even hit the back of the head
Rodtang is never boring… I wish to praise his boxing so much..!, though his kicks are lethal as well… teach that man to wrestle and you’ll have something extremely special.. I had a feeling seeing him fight for the first time, ( in One Championship ), about a year ago that., now there is a guy who wouldn’t tap in MMA even if the match came down to it.. Rodtang…, even in loss YOU do Not disappoint.. Respect. Side note…. The referee did a wonderful job protecting the fighters head in that situation..
haha
He is also pretty young still
@@joedavidson5884 Teach that man some wrestling, grappling, Judo, or BJJ type maneuvers or styles.., he would become what I was attempting to achieve before a Society, marriage,divorce, and the Military side tracked me from my goals… He would, I believe, have the tools to be a Champion at his weight class in any ring No matter the rules of his choice.. Right now he is truly a joy to watch stand and strike.. Teach him ground a pound, submissions, throws, and takedowns.. Oh Man.! Look out.
rodtang shoudn't fight demetrius in mix fight style,,,demetrius should fighting rodtang in muaythai
@@edenvillar416 When your amongst the best fighters in the World at that level.. All you can do is challenge yourself outside the norm.. To find a challenge.
I would say that both of these fighters are the benchmark of their trades. Hats off to both men for such excellent sportsmanship.
ONE took a risk with this but personally I love that they are mixing the rules and changing the sport. It’s so interesting to see how superior mixed martial arts is to other sports from this example. Hoping to see more!
DJ has highest level technique in every discipline I’ve ever seen. Rodtang is a warrior as well.
He is like a mongoose/ninja
Both legends but the timing in that takedown was money. Throws a body kick changes levels hooks in, choke sunk, clinical 👊😎
As a Kickboxer/Muay Thai athlete I look up to Rodtang (as well as Haggerty) and as an MMA fan I loooove DJ. A great athlete with no drama backup to hype him, just skills...This was a great but hard match to watch. But in the end, the respect for each other brought a smile to my lips. 2 great competitors, 2 beasts in their own domain!!!
You are not a kickboxer nor do you know Muay Thai. Stop the cap.
@@mauricewinston2578 who tf are you
@@TheBagFumbler google me
This dude will never tap. What a warrior, his the type to go down with his ship.
Brah, just tap…not tapping when you literally caught is the dumbest thing…
Brah, just tap…not tapping when you literally caught is the dumbest thing…
He feel asleep that us why he forgot to tap..
Simply love that respect for each other!!! Reminding the sportsmanship!!!
Amazing fight, both fighters are warriors
Two incredible martial artists. Awesome to see how much respect they have for each other.
passed out before tapped out. what a beast, kept fighting and trying to get out where most people would have just given up.
Chokes don't hurt. I've gotten choked out before. You don't even remember what happened, and there's no permanent damage. If it had been an armbar or a Kimura, he WOULD HAVE tapped, or he would have gotten his shoulder or his arm broken and torn off.
@@user-sg8kq7ii3y Can't chokes cause brain damage? With the whole cutting the oxygen from the brain thing
@@gael.7593 Yes it can cause brain damage, but blood chokes don't hurt. You just pass out, and if they don't release the choke, and you're out for longer than you should be, then, yes, you will suffer brain damage. Now if the choke crushes you wind pipe, then, yes, that hurts a lot.
@@user-sg8kq7ii3y I see. Thank you.
Demetrius Johnson ,congratulations on the MMA Championship Win 🏆of the Historical Special Rules Super Fight at ONE Championship!¡!
Both rounds fought were extremely competitive. Great fight.
2 round was extremely not competitive....? lmao
DJ smoked him in the MMA round dude
Damn after the first round, you can see the difference in class there. Demetrious is another level.
That was like a game of tag, in the first round Rodtang was it, in the second it was Johnson.. respect to Rodtang too for going to sleep instead of tapping, what a warrior.
Yeah take the brain damage instead of admitting your defeat. What a champ!!!
@@martinoland1 he’s a warrior for sure, literally fought to the last damn second and didn’t wanna tap incase DJ let go of it. But DJ never let go. Besides, he’ll wake up and be exactly the same dude. His brain is fine. He’s not an MMA guy this will likely be the first and only time he’ll ever be choked out it’s not a big deal. This fight was insane…
@@martinoland1 he probably takes more brain damage from punching himself in the head than getting choked out for a couple seconds. So in your theory, he should stop fighting all together because he’s taking brain damage each fight regardless.
It’s funny and I didn’t know that if you tap you can fight sooner than if you go to sleep. So fighters that tap are warriors too but they don’t get paid enough to be able to go out on their shield.
@@ronaldcervantes1959 if their fight spirit depends on money then the name is not warriors but mercenaries
Demetrius is a legend!!!
He’s better than a legend, he’s the GOAT
德米特里厄的特长是搂抱
@@chaoyan9709 Go Watch Boxing Then
Rodtang is such a fing warrior rather go to sleep than tap out. Must be so scary to be put in that position and seen so many fighters tap but not Rodtang seem fearless.
Lots of mma fighters don’t tap, but it is very impressive for a Muay Thai fighter not to tap because he was probably never choked before.
lol
Fing pink put your money 💰 where nowadays the money be at.
@@montanawhite5699 please 🙏 provide a reference for this theory 🙏 👏 😄.
@@AjaychinuShah what are you talking about?
Love when they bow it’s so dope seeing the mutual respect
Oh is it “dope” Benjy?
So cool to see the hunted and the hunter change places with the change of the round and rules. Props to both. Amazing skill.
Facts
That was intense he never tap he lost unconscious instead to tap what a real fighter
"Why tap? Go sleep."
Exactly what I was thinking, Both are Legends
Lol. Tapping means you accept your loss. Rodtang got clapped even in muay thai round. He got used to the kids game where points are more important than finishing your opponent.
He thought he was gonna win with low kicks and jabs for points
Imagine being there in person to see this spectacle. These two are my faves
Wow. Love that One pulled this off with the special rules. Would love to see more of this.
This was an excellent fight. Both guys shined in their respective rounds
When he refused to tap and almost escaped from the choke gave me mad chills
It's so cool to see the difference in who's coming forward for the kill in each round. Props to both.
I don’t know why but this is one of my favorite fights ever. I just love it
That was nuts. I’d love to see more like it
No, this is nuts 👉🏻 🥜
Great fight. Rodtang is such a monster and the result shows the skill and class of DJ.
This was awesome, great format! Much respect to both!
Both are great fighters..great discipline and respect! The qualities of a truly great warrior..i love this both..
Much respect to DJ. Shows his versatility in striking and his Muay Thai game. He was very solid in the first round against the baddest man in MT.
interesting to see how the flow of the fight completely changes when there's takedowns involved
Both of these guys are living legends.
So mma and muay thai rules change with each round. This is brilliant!
Amazing fight, heart and respect.
I love these types of fights to absolute legends of their respective fields. This just go to show how great D.J. is in MMA Johnson is the 125/135 King. And Rodtang is a true beast. Great fight by both.
Wow that was insane first round. Talk about two masters of their crafts! RESPECT
Wow@! Just wow! Such mastery ! Such flow..in their mouvements. One of the best fights i have ever seen.
This was so epic!!!
This 2 guy are so respectull! Love them all😉👍🏽👏🏾
The way it should be.💯
damn those two are real ultimate figthers, absolute beasts, beautiful moves, rodtang prefer pass out than giving up and the respect they give to each other at the end... wow
i like when opponents bow after. such respect feeds my soul
Классный бой.
Два воина.
Rodtang is a monster, great warrior 🥂👏👏😎
Y ....???????
I love both of them..big respect..unbelèvable
Demetrius is a monster, just knowing rodtang is your opponent has to be a whole feeling
This really is the contest I've always wanted to see. And my theory is correct that you just get the Thai fighter to the ground and that's pretty much it. The first Muay Thai fighter that also has Olympic level Greco Roman wrestling will be completely unstoppable
MMA should always be superior to a one or two style limited fighter...
@@NotUnymous I mean every style technically is a bunch if different methods and styles combined. Typically fighters specialize in one or two areas. Like yeah they'll have aspect of other styles mixed in as well but they are predominately trained in a certain style that they accel at. So I'm saying that someone that masters both styles would be damb near unstoppable because the muay thai stand striking is just devastating and rediculous, and Olympic level Greco Roman wrestling is one of the most dominant styles out there because it controls the pace and leverage and positioning in a match.
Most Olympians train Greco their entires lives. It would be difficult for someone such a high level at that to also be an equally high level of a striker I feel like. You see people more than sufficient in both (Usman is a really good wrestler and has become a really good striker.) But you don't see someone with Maia's BJJ become a world class Thai boxer. Charles Oliveira would be one of the closest you can get bc he is very dangerous off his back but also has really good Muay Thai (not Rodtang good)
@@dannyshroyer5770 folk style/collegiate wrestling is the most dominant wrestling style, not Greco.
and fictional
MORE! MORE! MORE! Love this.
I knew Rodtang wasn’t going to tap. Too much pride.
Big props to Rodtang. He slept instead of tapping out. That right there was a real badass 👊👊
Espetacular 👍👍👍
Só guerreiro!
Great fight. Amazing speed and resilience from both warriors.
There should be more special rules like this. I love this special rule
This might have been the most dangerous fighter DJ fought
wow huge respect and fear for both of these fighters. this fight was insane!
Deux grands champions disciplinés avec beaucoup de qualités humaines, bravo pour les 2
Rodtang has so many years left in him that if he just dedicated a few to training pure grappling, he could be a long time MMA champ no question.
guys gonna have severe CTE if he continues
Mighty mouse! For his age he still on top of his game. Imagine if he's in his 20's. Phenomenal fighter.
Fear fighter
Final mais que incrível, o respeito entre os dois lutadores, isso é esporte 👍👍👍
Just shows you how important it is to be a well rounded fighter
Masterpiece ending 💪💪💪
How come I never heard Mighty Mouse pound-for-pound ? He took the fight and brought the fight in their rules to a FN Beast ... No kidding
Wow this was such a fun combat sports exhibition. I'll be watching this back for years to come.
this was not an exhibition but a legal mixed rules fight
@@omegasquad868 i just ment it was a great spectical because it was two of the best in their respective sports
DJ backing up.... These One Championship fighters are crazy.... Rodtang is beast... kept pressing forward!!! good fight!
I know we all predicted it, but to me this was the most historical moment in MMA.
I think the early days of MMA where much more historic but this was cool too.
What a great fight ! Congrats to both fighters but Johnson was the better man with that hard earned submission! Great sportsmanship at the end ! 💪🏼
better man? ehh good execution they're aren't much better men then rodtang honestly. DJ did well and knew what had to be done. great fight but that style fight is in DJ favor honestly. Both fighters are trained from the begining to know how to takle hits rodtang barely knew what ground game was until this.
@@infantry522 The style of fight was in the favor for DJ? Obviously..... Lol. But the first round was muay thai rules, so Rodtang had his opportunity. It just goes to show how effective grappling is for fighting.
@@asharedo When you train for grappling yes that makes sense in muy thai you dont train for grappling on the floor maybe the occasional clinch. You can train to take a hit and Rodtang is proof of that so this was way favored for DJ not even just a little. Especially with how good a fighter DJ is and knows when to keep distance and knows how to atleast take a hit.
Love these mixed rule fights.
Amazing respect and sportsmanship afterwards
Amazing fight from both of them. Mighty mouse impressed going toe to toe with Rodtang in Muay Thai and in round two Roadtang showed great potential defending the RNC against one of the best MMA athletes
The Mighty Mouse counters more effectively in the 1st round of Thaiboxing. It's interesting to see the score as The Minghty Mouse lands cleaner kicks n hooks n dodges or blocks so many killing kicks n punches from Rodtang. His chocking Rodtang in the last minutes of the 2nd round of the fight is truly impressive indeed.
show Good sportmanship
Big salute both of you
Another incredible fight
Sensacional 👍👍👍
Rodtang..que buen peleador y educado..sabe perder..mis respetos hacia este luchador tan joven
No es educado , y eso se vio en peleas anteriores
De los mejores combates que eh visto mis respeto para ambos!!!💪🏾
Amazing and respectful fight good show guys
on the feet rodtang is king, but on the floor DJ is a killer. by those standards it's unbalanced, but still a beautiful display of skills, this is great to be able to rewatch.
This is the proof that no matter how powerful punches and kicks a fighter have if that fighter gets chocked he will tap and submission defeat. Good job DJ
Not sure how this proves a strong fighter will get choked and tap.......RT got choked but didn't tap 🤣🤣🤣
Another non sensical comment here 😂😂😂
Great fight, love the rule set I hope to see more fights like this
Show love to ONE for arranging this craziness!!
Why is the ref standin so close
Funny this just got uploaded as I listened to Joe talk w Mikey musumeci today & this discussed thie legendary fight.
i hope mikey makes the transtion to MMA someday; i too listened to that EP of JRE and was ecstatic when he mentioned that he loves Muay Thai and has trained it mildly since a young age and is also interested in the idea of competing himself and could see it one day. i truly wish he focuses his training on striking (and some wrestling takedowns/defense) soon since he is still young and if he grinds those arts for 3 or so years and mixed with his literal god-like grappling; he would be a monster to reckon with. but he has to start competing in it before he hits 30 if he wants to have a run at a belt
Increible que exhibicion de combate 😱 es lo mejor que vi en años que 5 minutos de espectáculo
Even though this went exactly as we all thought, it was still super entertaining.
If you can’t grapple your chance is low.
Great! Much Respect!
The most beautiful is the respect, wow, thats sports
Great match up. Ref was altogether too close for the majority of it, impeding the natural flow, often forcing a fighter to be able to move only left or only right.
Yeah that guy needs to learn to step a bit further. If you keep having to bolt out because the fighters are touching you, you're too fucing close. He got me screaming at my screen lol.
Muay Thai is sleeping when they met MMA.
