Johnson vs. Dodson 2 | Best Moments

[Music] oh nice left hand over the top by dodson he doesn't hit as hard as i think he does you know dude i give you 110 credit for dropping me absolutely [Applause] he's hurt when the fight was over i was still ready to go more you were i controlled the whole fight except for the fourth and fifth rounds when he knew what it felt like to be in those championship rounds again really turning it on here late in the fourth round and now i'm ready to go out there and knock him out [Music] from that point then to this point now it's gonna be a totally different fight that's right baby i'm gonna go get bad from here i'm dangerous i'm here so well that i'm the best 125 in the world i don't have to tell the world that i've improved since our last fight i've shown that i have improved but i could look at all my rematches when i thought you know ian mccall and just movies it's almost like round six there's nobody out there who can transition from striking to boxing to muay thai clinch to wrestling to cinema [ __ ] game back up the clinching you know i have the ability to do that and it's just gonna be fireworks submission he's the best i'm gonna be able to hit him with different angles and different power and a little bit more creative footwork than what demetrius has seen john dodson once again with style points here tonight john's been five rounds now he knows what it's like he is a little more experienced now he knows how to pace himself out well he's gonna come in in a little bit better shape and a little bit better understanding of the total fight and there's another left hand and it is over we don't really pay attention to the talk because talk doesn't win fights he can run his mouth all he wants he better be trained he's going to see a new john dodson that's going to have better cardio i have the fluid motion to keep up with the demetrius johnson and the creativity to go ahead and take that belt away from him look out for me i'm the one coming after that belt i'm bringing that home i'm over the champion because i am the best in this division you said that last time and someone who's wearing gold dirty diapers having two kids and a wife a family i guess you can say has changed my outlook and my preparation across the whole board just in life in general you know when i come home from a double and i have both my kids there and my wife's been home take care of the kids all day i want to help out you guys going saucer tonight last night oh you did i'm watching the opponent's moves i'm anticipating the opponent's move based on what i've seen them do and based on how they're reacting in the fight and just yelling at dj what to do at that time there you go hey first haircut right there i got it it's done everybody's already claiming that i'm pound for found the best striker in the ufc so i can prove it again on september 5th with what demetrius says my mental [ __ ] mentality you can call it wherever you want i'm the most powerful dude out there and i can keep on showing it because all the stats prove it does get that alien shaped head yeah you got it good thing we're fighting in vegas so when i get done with him you can go back to area 51. thank you sir live from the united center here in chicago illinois we have a title on the line in the flyweight division i thought i was in a good place you know just getting ready for my first title defense i saw him in the wec and i was like this is going to be the guy that i'll have to beat at 1285 to solidify and tell everybody that i'm the number one fighter in the world john dodson most certainly has an advantage in explosion the ability to end the fight in a brief moment he's running he's running he's running i'll wait for everyone to drive through some outside lakers oh he clipped him that's why i put him down with that punch he clipped him already it's right there he got me and i was overextended that's fine he got back up and there's the big power of john dodson right now i'm not really overextending and reaching for him i'm just slowly trying to cross the distance and when i do that i'm getting to him i'm landing i'm atlantic shots oh all right you want to touch me i'll touch you back [Applause] right there i was reaching over extended again when you get dropped i take my time to relax because if he's gonna he's gonna have to come after me i thought i was up two rounds to zero because those takedowns that he's supposed to have had doesn't really count we can't do anything off them you know what the way it is in america and ufc judging i'll give him that if i will go to the pride i'll see how in that fight he's down first takedown in a while here i'm like okay it's wrestling i'm using it you're not doing anything i haven't seen before constant pressure by dj these little baby knees that he's throwing they don't hurt but he's still scoring points you see all the blood dropping now if you don't think that's not doing anything i was like man it's a pleasure i [Music] i am better than demetrius johnson i don't know how the fight's gonna be different i know it will be different but i can guarantee you one thing i'm gonna come forward just like i did in the first fight and if we get any clinch i'm gonna tear him up into clinch again so how do i do this does that look funny yeah just look up right here i can't take you serious what i got my nose flares going i swear you can't like take pictures with this guy at all john do your magician i do that too yeah you do that too yeah yeah you do that too it's getting nice and thick right here okay i think i might just cut right like that okay and then maybe possibly doing a light bridge or maybe maybe a light fade okay maybe i'm gonna shape it a little bit like last time yeah yeah shape yet nice stuff though man all right all right thank you we appreciate it good luck man i'll be watching it well dude thanks are we talking about that when we get back oh jesus don't say that work time start working come how do you know they made it that works and that means you guys watch me walk away with a child you wanna get in come on you don't wanna go with this little man i want no action okay okay let's go and i gotta go this is gonna become one of those things like when roy jones jr was was in his prime where you're just wondering what's what's the opponent going to be able to do to him not even whether or not he's going to win but what's his opponent going to be able to do to him you did say that a motivator for you is to beat anderson silva's record of 10 title defenses that's something that you can sort of look forward to then it's something that's down the tunnel and i'm close to that achievement you know that's something i'm shooting for then once i beat that then try to set that record and so that's what we're focused on and you know we have john dodson first and we'll see how this goes that's a big left hand by johnson a very big left hand big puck i can talk about how he was playing that game hand down hand up hand down hand up so he has one arguing point where i have multiple argument points where in a whole fight of mixed martial arts i was dominating him in all those aspects i'm excited i can't wait i'm gonna go see my baby girl i've been thinking about what she would look like having dreams and fantasies about it and how i can hold her in my arms i'm kind of dead i'm going to be it's an awesome feeling they said i'm a couple centimeters before symmetra is dilated and we're going to be having the baby soon so oh yo i gotta go long fight right [Music] [Music] she's doing good she's she's just fully dilating we're just waiting for delilah to come out whenever she's ready to come out [Music] how much does she weigh seven pounds zero point two hey baby my adrenaline was all spiked trying to deliver a baby and helped catch her i was like yeah yeah we sat there cuddled with it for an hour and i was like babe i'm gonna i just fell asleep tiger come on it's a weight lifted off my shoulders now i know i can focus on winning this championship beating up demetrius johnson and coming home with a belt back to viva las vegas time to get back to work don't feel your whole camera roll up yet oh yeah and i was there like this she's like massaging the head come out [ __ ] shoot out i mean like oh yeah [Applause] [Music] i don't want to see it welcome to the daddy club yeah yeah welcome daddy club best thing in life yep do you think it made you all of a sudden that much more motivated when you had kids nope the world championship level you shouldn't need something else for motivation were you not going to be a world champion before yeah little john's always laughing and making everybody happy so their spirits are the same [Laughter] i would have to say i am better than him and i displayed that i have been better than him i would say he's probably better than knocking people out than i am because he's done a lot more than me i just go out there and fight and that's it just go out there and fight and take it to him any man that has been dropped before they're going to be scared to get hit again and demetrio johnson's definitely been that man who's been hit by me once many times he's going to be obviously scared be more afraid to be hit by me and anything else [ __ ] awesome but when someone likes to talk about how great they are the baddest person on the planet they're generally trying to convince themselves they're talking to the world to convince themselves because the world's already seen the baddest man on the planet and they know who it is ufc fans the octagon is back home right here in las vegas nevada as we welcome you to the official weigh-ins for ufc 191

inside the mgm grand garden arena what's exciting about this fight is he has the toughest test of his career in front of him in john dodson who's the most spectacular athlete in mixed martial arts today but this guy his opponent is a freak john dodson has ridiculous speed and power the only flyweight champion in ufc history demetrius johnson top contender john dotson who pushed the champion to the brink in their first meeting and is extremely confident in his power and knockout ability the ufc phantom weight champion of the world denarius cowboy winner eight straight ready to fight for the title live on fox one thing to consider also is that datsun has had issues with his hands before he's broken his hands because of the ridiculous power that he has [Applause] [Music] 29 year old champion 30 year old challenger everything else is virtually identical time the challenger john the magician [Applause] you've been over the rules protect yourself at all times follow my instructions we're gonna have a clean fight let's touch gloves and come out ready to do this yeah this is in many ways a battle of the mastermind coaches absolutely big right hand by mighty mouse one thing to factor in that we did see in the first fight was that dodson slowed down yes whereas mighty mouse didn't right hand landed to the body good shots to the body ten times [Applause] greg jackson calling for 9 8. do you know what that is i do kick kicks again with that right hand there it is right there and he's deep in on the shot dodson defends but he's doing a lot of defending he's doing a lot of defending you're getting him to back up you can get him to back up your right hand is backing him up a lot too and then you got to stay on it your kick is also back up the high kick it's fighting patient smart and you're starting to see the openings i mean he is moving faster with shorter distances [Applause] he gets hit by that kick and immediately jumps back in constant pressure look at that though [Applause] there's that right hand again that lead right hand comes out of nowhere and constant pressure constant again the lead right hand bam connected that time you saw the head of datsun snap back oh powerful body kick gotcha [Applause] here's that lead right hand from mighty mouse and then a follow-up right hand i mean it just comes out of nowhere look at that pop you to drop that elevation and get a shot okay so you can come off the shot and take the head and he's definitely wearing down yep the only flyweight champion in ufc history with the left trying again to take down datsun good right hands as he's trying to take him down nice name excellent knee to the body oh good kick yeah with the right hand again with no wind up i don't know what i mean really throws that better than anybody in being so outspoken about the first fight got to put a lot of pressure on himself here beautiful elbow there by mighty mouse short little punches by both men now elbow that was a good elbow by mighty mouse oh beautiful elbow gotta love that again left one oh man oh oh no time no no get that away okay okay [Applause] but as he goes to try to stop the takedown he's getting punched in the face every time he's got this one got it first one again right back him down looking for the neck another hard elbow again the right hand over the top whoa question mark kick finally that was like a flying crotch then goes right underneath the legs i heard dean again he tagged him and heard him there that's what we've seen from the greatest champions in ufc history they made great fighters look ordinary constantly cutting angles boom there's that right hand again left hand behind it two on the clock this is fading and mighty mouse catches him with a left hook on the break looking for another takedown and just the the relentless pressure that mighty mouse puts on there final seconds there it is right hand on the job [Music] [Applause] dancing just really doesn't know what to do with this guy again mighty mouse gets to take down doing everything we got this last round okay i just want you to hit him as many times as you can come on one shot center the octagon controlled by johnson again beautiful right hand [Applause] third take big deep breaths from datsun gonna be very difficult for dodson to get back up to his feet he does he has amazing takedown defense midway point of the fifth and final right hand walked right into it [Applause] trying for another win over another top 10 fighter john dodson running out of time here [Applause] we're gonna go the distance again [Music] this is all the fifth round mighty mouse dropping him down for one of a couple of takedowns that he got in that round he became the first flyweight champion september 2012 defeating joseph benavidez thank you find my phone of course man yeah of course you might talk [ __ ] about me but i respect that demand okay hey i respect you as a fighter you know we have to hype the [ __ ] up and still the undisputed usc lightweight champion of the world at the party for the foundation room and john dodson was saying that my i'm garbage i'm born i'm a plate to the division but look at my face i look prettier than a [ __ ] was there anything surprising about this fight tonight nope i'm a hard worker and i knew john dodson was gonna come here and work hard but i love working hard i love working for what i have congratulations on a masterful performance mighty mouse johnson ladies and gentlemen a seventh title defense by mighty mouse he's just running through the entire division he made john dodson not able to do anything in any aspect of the game what do you think about mighty mouse as an athlete in general he absolutely dominated that entire fight i i know he wanted to finish really bad and didn't get it but he looked awesome tonight how did you negate the power that he talked about so much this week just uh being very technical and staying focused you know one of the things that we work extremely hard in this camp on just staying low not getting high and popping out right in his wheelhouse you are the cardio king does it surprise you when opponents come in and they're not prepared to keep up with you for all five rounds i try to simulate and fight like my coaches because when i spar them they're always on me and when i'm fighting i'm going to be all over my opponents too when you listen to hume talk to him in between rounds and and the way that he responds to human and the things that are said back and forth it's it's fascinating demetrius johnson is is an incredible fighter and uh he he looked amazing tonight a question for john dodson over here i know you obviously are very confident going into this fight and it's rather fresh but can you at least discuss why you think it didn't go your way and perhaps while you had more success in the first fight than the second fight since while everybody keeps on talking about this glass roof this glass ceiling i'm gonna break through it i'll make sure that i can come back and like come back stronger if dana gives me the opportunity to go ahead and beat up beat up a bunch of people that are seem worthy to fight demetrius i will do it and i'll make sure i can make another title run at this again it was a good fight but i had to go home and watch it and there's some stuff my goal ultimate goal was to finish him like i knew i had the cardio to finish him but i just couldn't get to that point so do you start looking at maybe you know one-off fights at bantamweight and giving him a different challenge there's always a contender man and we are working on something right now and when it happens you'll you'll agree fair enough all right and i'll be ready for it
