Idk I guess, and this is just me personally, it's not that impressive when someone does some gymnast poo poo while also being the size and build of a member of the women's Olympic gymnastics team. Thats what he's for.

you're not impressed by the women's olympic gymnastic's team? :confused:

If Tony can get through Conor in the first couple of rounds, Tony would give Conor huge problems from then on.
Conor cracks and Tony gets hit so it'd be a good fight we'll never see.

Is DJ some kind of loving humbolt squid or robot?

Who can cogently think, "Suplex to armbar...sure?" and then do anything other than catch on fire T. Browning themselves into a knock out?

Who the gently caress thinks of that during a training camp and starts working on it?

IT was already on the way to being a drat near flawless performance, but then he goes and puts a bow on it like that.

I hear you wish to ball, adventurer..
Looking back I don't think DJ had a single mark on his face after going through a 5 round fight.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

He said in the post fight presser that the only thing that is hurting him is his butt cheek from torquing the armbar at the end

the only ways i've ever managed to land armbars are through really slow grinding setting setups or newbies thrashing around crazily not knowing what they are doing so i see poo poo like this where someone does one from a setup they're very unlikely to have ever done before and feel great shame.

edit: keven is right and this is still the 'less-than-a-full-sized dog' weight division tho

I watched this in a bar without volume and I'm laughing so hard seeing the highlight where Rogan says 'if he survives the next two minutes that's a moral victory' where he gets armbarred three seconds later.

There was a lot of fantastic silver lining commentary. 'He managed to do thing.' 'Still technically alive.' 'Mighty Mouse is not being awarded custody of Borg's children.'

apparently he practices this all the time in the gym, DJ's so advanced at this poo poo that he's literally coming up with hilarious gimmick moves and practicing them during his fight camp.

Freeze framing that armbar makes it even more insane. MM is setting it up at the same time Borg is flying through the air.

I'm not necessarily proud of this but I'm gonna leave it here anyways.
Despite the absolutely incredible submission, I too still dislike Mighty Mouse because I am a cruel woman conceived in the mind of insecure Reddit posters.



Not really. Mighty Mouse is awesome. No one has cared about larger fighters in a very long time. Get over your poo poo.

Mighty Mouse is good and undoubtedly one of the greatest to fight in the sport but him ducking TJ leaves a sour taste and now he has that record, it's time for him to fight the winner of the BW matchup or he's just going to look like a bit of a can crusher because he's just that far ahead of the pack.

He'll probably fight TJ provided TJ beats Garbrandt since he wanted to fight the champion at 135 in the first place. Then, instead of rightfully shutting the gently caress up about it, people will come up with a new way to discredit him.

Josuke Higashikata

No, they'll continue to discredit him because he's 125 pounds, regardless of how invalid that is.

Meanwhile, the world is obsessed with Conor McGregor and few people could pick Stipe Miocic or Deontay Wilder out of a lineup.
