Cross style? Bringing it back from where? We had nhb, then mma, not style vs style. We stopped seeing 'cross style' because the fighters realized they had to learn more skills to compete in nhb / mma. Onefc just forced rodtang to fight at a massive disadvantage, particularly as the level of grappling and striking in mma has risen tremendously as people figured out how to better mix different disciplines for the cage, while muay thai is still just muay thai.

I see your POV but no one would use takedowns in the street fight at first, hands are faster and more powerful... I’m not saying Demetrious would get beat up but it’s not one sided as you trying to prove 😀 Street fights are dirty and fast, so whoever is faster, wins 🙂 PS: No trying to prove you wrong or hate at all, just wanted to put some facts over there, all the people bragging about MMA fighters in the street fights have never been into one and it shows when they trying to tell you strikers wouldn’t stand a chance to MMA fighters.

And we are not gonna talk about the guns that are in the streets in US on daily basis too. So once again, I was replying to the guy who said that MMA fighters would smash stand up strikers, which is just not true.. So stop being a toxic hater, we are probably on the same side in this case..🙂 PS: I still think that good striker would put you to sleep before you would even reach for that pipe and rock, you don’t have that much time as you think to do all of that, most of the street fights are matter of seconds.

These are 2 athletes from 2 different sports, go ask DJ to fight in a jiujitsu match with a high level black belt athlete, he would probably get submitted under 3 minutes.

However, I think you are making it sound a bit too easy my friend. You are leaving out some important factors because in hindsight DJ made it look easy. Consider that the round starts standing up, so there's a chance to get KO'd with any shot. There's also a chance that if you just shoot a takedown carelessly you'll get knee'd in the head (Askren disregarded this factor, look what happened vs Masvidal). Also in many cases the opponent can run away and eat up the clock, leaving even less time for ground fighting. Rodtang is also bigger than DJ and not just any muay thai fighter but a prime specimen of an athlete. Getting a submission is not as easy as you say. You said that in a bjj match a blackbelt in bjj can easily sub an mma fighter in 3 mins. Sometimes yes, but I advise you to go watch the bjj match of Brendan Schaub (mid level mma fighter) vs Roberto Cyborg Abreu (4th degree Black belt world champ). Try not to fall asleep waiting for the submission while watching that. Spoiler alert: 20 minutes of shaub running ends in a draw. This proves that your point is a generalization. DJ did execute flawlessly, that's why he was so happy after coz many mma fighters would have gone to rd 3.

The second DJ put him in the choke, I already knew Rodtang wasn’t going to tap. I’ve rarely seen someone try so hard to escape a choke. For those who don’t have any grappling experience, let me tell you, it’s very hard to remain calm and continue to effectively fight when you’re on the brink of submission. The fact that he fought with every last bit of consciousness he had and never gave up and accepted the loss shows tremendous fighting spirit. In that situation, most grapplers will wait for the hold to sink in and just tap right then, or they will go almost limp and just accept their fate like a gazelle in a lion’s jaws. Rodtang is a warrior.

The UFC just frankly doesn't like his division, it's not as popular and there aren't as many fighters with a public presence. You have to remember that Dana only cares about how much money he can make off the fighters, that's it, he doesn't care about the fighters themselves or how good they may be, just their market value. DJ is up there with the best in the sport regarding both athleticism and technical skill, he's done things in the ring we've just never seen elsewhere, and he's fought some incredibly high level competition. Unfortunately that isn't enough when he isn't Conor 2.0 making huge amounts of money and reaping the benefits of blatant favouritism as Dana's pet monkey. I mean they basically tried to set-up Henry Cejudo in a way that he was all but scheduled to win, and they clearly wanted to remove DJ as champion for some reason. Clearly the people at the top like Dana have more than sense...

It's almost always going to end up the same way though, the only way it would go differently is if Rodtang (or whoever filled his shoes) had serious takedown defence. Any MMA fighter worth their salt will at least have the ability to survive the first round by playing defensively (and the first round would always be striking only), and DJ was even going on the offensive here in the first round, after which they are going to set the opponent up, take them down, and finish them, because they will most definitely have better grappling skills. It puts the non-MMA competitor on a brutal clock that just doesn't favour them unless they are significantly better than the MMA fighter in their realm of expertise. I guess you could make it more interesting by throwing grapplers into the mix, but again, it's going to be a first round defensive followed by a second round pummeling as the MMA fighter uses the rest of their arsenal to destroy their opponent without much they can do about it. This could perhaps be more interesting if it was a grappler vs a striker, with mixed rules rounds, but whoever gets the first round advantage is most likely going to win, though if the striker has TDD the grappler always loses. It's just less interesting than pure MMA because we always know how the matchups are going to play out. A well-rounded MMA fighter will always beat a more limited ruleset once that clock runs out, and as we've seen so many times, they can survive that time pretty easily.

This is amazing how they did a separate round to adhere to each fighters expertise. This needs to be the future for fighters who aren’t ready to make the full transition to MMA.

@@lilsavdabest get a load of this guy lol

Wow I was left with chills. I’ve been watching mighty mouse for so long and seeing him dominate in the ufc then leave the ufc to another promotion and do so good makes me happy. Truly one of the GOATS. Rodtang is also one of the GOATS in Muay Thai. Respect to both fighters and to One fc , thanks for putting this masterpiece up of a fight so quick for all of us to see.

This fight was awesome. Do more of these kinda fights.

Now that was a fight! Props to both fighter👏

Honestly Rodtang would be a terrifying mma fighter if he learned how to wrestle and do ju jitsu. His hands are walking bombs and his kicks are from hell as well. Ground game and and iron chin this would be an epic rematch. 🔥

Reminds me of crocops transition to mma from kickboxing. Except crocops debut wasn't against the goat.

I don't think so, he doesn't have the ability to adjust, relying on his good striking and power and his chin, and I don't think he can go 5 rounds with DJ, DJ will drown him..
