Got caught. Has looked really good since.
KOed out cold in the first minute of the fight by Michael F*cking gatekeep Johnson less than 2 years ago???
I really try to consider him one of the best fighters in the division, but this loss always come back to my mind...
That was the fight that turned me into a believer i hated conor before that, but how he handled porier had my jaw dropped. I Never doubted his striking ever again.Conor beat him with very little effort aswell.. I think Khabib would maul him with ease.
I found that Diaz was the biggest exploitation of how Johnson basically just spams 1-2s over and over and over again.Why is MJ always looked down on?
He has elite wins in Tony, Barboza, shouldve won against Dariush etc.
Shouldve definitely stuck to his gameplan in the Diaz fight, he just got caught up after round 1.
I am not buying into his rejuvenated hype at all. Dude is a vet who was KO'd by a rookie 145er (Conor McGregor). Beating a broken down former champion and a walking punching bag (who should be 0-3 in the UFC) doesn't impress me.KOed out cold in the first minute of the fight by Michael F*cking gatekeep Johnson less than 2 years ago???

He outstruck Barboza. He's doing something right.Johnson isnt exactly known as a TOP LEVEL Striker my man but yes people get caught sometimes.
Anybody can get caught like that. Anyone
Dustin brawled with Menace and that was stupid, Johnson could lose his next 100 he is still dangerous he has sick power coupled with his speed he is dangerous for anyone, he sure got Khabibs attention with the punches he connected, just because someone loses doesnt discredit his overall achievements.
McGregor and Brandao were at 145lbs, right? Different animal without the hefty weight-cut. He took a couple shots from JG that would have put him out back in the featherweight days. MJ caught him. That's about that.The Johnson KO, the McGregor KO, getting wobbled by Brandao, eating lots of shots from Justin, being competitive with Pettis all come to mind.
