“Look at the size difference” – Joe Rogan in awe of Demetrious Johnson’s win over massive 250-pound opponent
Demetrious Johnson, the ONE flyweight MMA world champion, demonstrated the fundamental principles of jiu-jitsu, which enable a smaller fighter to defeat a larger opponent.
Joe Rogan, a well-known MMA broadcaster and podcaster, was amazed by the triumph of ‘Mighty Mouse’ in a real-life David vs. Goliath situation.
At the 2024 IBJJF Pans, Demetrious Johnson further solidified his status as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, a title he holds in high regard within many circles of the sport. His exceptional performance only added to his already impressive legacy.
At the age of 37, the legendary fighter proved his dominance in the Masters 2 featherweight category (154.6 pounds) by winning the gold medal. Additionally, he also secured a silver medal in the openweight division.
Indeed, Johnson bravely faced off against formidable opponents in the absolute division. Joe Rogan was particularly impressed by ‘DJ’s’ bout with the massive Mike Medina, who tipped the scales at an astounding 248 pounds.
Despite the significant weight disparity of one hundred pounds, Johnson defied the odds and delivered an awe-inspiring performance that will be remembered for years to come.
Employing his astonishing quickness and divine agility, Johnson managed to evade the behemoth’s initial effort to overpower him and then countered with a skillful backtake to gain control of the situation.
Johnson completed the feat with a stunning bow-and-arrow choke, causing Medina to submit.
According to Joe Rogan, Johnson’s latest accomplishment was nothing short of herculean.
“How crazy is that? ‘Mighty Mouse’ took on a guy who is 250 pounds in a jiu-jitsu tournament and he tapped him. The dude was heavier than him by 100 pounds, the dude was enormous. The guy was so much bigger than him. Look at the size difference, look how big that dude is. But ‘Mighty Mouse’ is so slick.”
