Buffer:
UFC Flyweight Championship of the world!
All right, here we go. Are you ready, John?
Let's get it on!
Johnson:
it was a very tough fight.
Rogan:
Dodson has more power.
Mighty Mouse has a bit more technique and footwork.
-That first fight between me and Demetrious Johnson was all mine.
I won those first three rounds hands down,
and he won the last two.
Johnson: He has every right to that opinion.
I don't care. I mean, a lot of people in the world
believe that the fight was not even that close.
- Mike:
Rogan:
- First round, dropped him.
Rogan:
He doesn't hit as hard as I think he does.
You know, dude, I gave you 110% credit for dropping me.
Absolutely.
Rogan:
Goldberg:
Rogan:
But let's not forget about the time
when you were like this
and I had your head pushed up against the cage
and giving you the uppercuts from hell.
Goldberg:
landed by the champion.
Rogan:
Johnson:
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.
Goldberg:
late in the fourth round.
Rogan:
Announcer 2:
Johnson:
I honestly believe that John McCarthy
would have stepped in and stopped it.
Buffer:
I didn't have the strength conditioning
that I have now, and now I'm ready to go out there
and knock him out.
♪♪
Johnson:
to this point now, it's going to be
a totally different fight.
Goldberg:
defends his Flyweight belt again.
Johnson:
and I think that speaks for itself.
Goldberg:
Hume:
just like when DJ re-matched the other guys.
We took a look at the things he could have done better
and then he went out and did those things better.
That's exactly what we're going to do this time.
- That's right, baby, I'm only going
to get better from here.
I'm dangerous.
I'm here to show the world 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've improved.
Go back and look at all my rematches
when I fought Ian McCall and Joseph Benavidez.
It's almost like round six.
Announcer:
McCall goes down.
Johnson:
his rhythm and his pace.
And don't get me wrong-- I believe John Dodson's
going to come out totally different.
That's totally fine because I'm prepared to fight anywhere
where the fight goes.
There's nobody out there who can transition
from striking to boxing, to Muay Thai clench
to wrestling to submission again back up to clenching.
You know I have the ability to do that.
It's just going to be fireworks.
Goldberg:
Rogan:
Dodson's a unique fighter because he brings
speed and explosiveness to the game.
He has knock-out power at flyweight.
But so does DJ.
Goldberg:
- Demetrious Johnson can think that he can push the pressure
and push the pace and do whatever,
all I know is that he's going to walk into my fist
and he's gonna hit the ground.
Goldberg:
John Dodson by knockout!
- Not only am I the fastest guy in this fight,
I'm the strongest guy in this fight.
I'm going to be able to hit him with different angles
and different power and a little bit more
creative footwork than what Demetrious Johnson has seen.
Announcer:
with style points here tonight.
Winkeljohn:
He comes up with some crazy things
that I think people are going to see when Demetrious
tries to shoot on him.
So I'm excited, this time he will get him.
Rogan:
Goldberg:
Jackson:
He knows what it's like; He is a little more experienced now.
He knows how to pace himself out well.
He's going to come in in a little bit better shape
and a little bit better understanding
of the total fight.
Announcer 1:
- The only thing that's going to be different the second time
is I'm going to keep on hitting him
and hitting him harder and hitting him harder
and I'm watching him fall,
and I'm going to keep on grabbing him.
I'm holding him down and hit him repeatedly,
like, as if I was taking his lunch money.
Then I'm going to take and walk away with his belt.
Hume:
because talk doesn't win fights.
He can run his mouth all he wants,
he better be training.
- 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 Demetrious Johnson
and the creativity to go ahead
and take that belt away from him.
Buffer:
Dodson:
I go ahead and beat up Demetrious Johnson
on September 5th, and I get my little bundle of joy,
baby Delilah Sky comes September 9th.
I'm going to be able to wrap my baby
in a brand new belt.
Look out for me; I'm the one coming after that belt!
I'm bringing that home. I'm going to be champion
because I am the best in this division!
- You said that last time
and I'm the one who's wearing gold.
Rogan: Frank Mir versus Andre Arlovski
is a fight between two former UFC heavyweight champions,
and two fighters that many people had written off.
Two fighters that many people thought,
"Well, we're starting to see these guys at the end
of their career; probably won't see them much longer."
- Some people say,
"Arlovski is done. He has to retire,"
this and that, and I was so mad.
I was depressed I can say probably, yeah.
You know, retirement talk was in every interview I gave.
It became overwhelming at times.
You know, the whole world has basically already
written my obituary.
- Then the comeback.
Goldberg:
Announcer 2:
Goldberg:
Rogan:
Goldberg:
Rogan:
against Bigfoot Silva.
Announcer 2:
Big left hand by Frank Mir, and that'll do it!
Frank Mir is back!
Rogan:
knocks out Bigfoot Silva.
Announcer 2:
Rogan:
with young up-and-comer Todd Duffee,
and the result was spectacular.
Announcer 2:
Frank Mir does it again.
Rogan:
in one of the greatest one-round slobber-knockers
in the history of the UFC's heavyweight division.
Goldberg:
Oh, he got rocked!
Rogan:
he can barely stand up!
Goldberg:
Rogan:
Goldberg:
Rogan:
Rogan: It was chaos; it was craziness.
Every person in the arena was on their feet,
and it earned Andrei Arlovski a top-five position.
I did what I was supposed to do.
That victory over Travis Browne put me
in on the line for title shot.
Now I get Frank Mir and I'm very excited about that fight.
He was a champion; I was a champion.
We're supposed to fight back in 2007,
eight years later, we're going to fight each other.
Goldberg:
the ultimate slugfest.
I think the fight is a great fight.
I think Andrei is back on the upswing.
he's highly ranked, he's very athletic,
he's very fast, he's quick, and he's a hard worker.
Goldberg:
Andrei Arlovski with the win!
Arlovski:
He's very dangerous on the ground.
Rogan:
Look at this-- kimura!
Arlovski:
Announcer 1:
That was ridiculous!
Mir:
showcasing what I've improved on in boxing.
It definitely has to be a threat that my opponents
are always going to have to look for.
So the more threats I can impose, the more threats
he has to identify and be ready for.
Arlovski:
and I just need to be disciplined,
follow my game plan to keep my hands up.
and I just have to be ready for fifteen minutes of war.
Goldberg:
he was the UFC Heavyweight Champion.
He made a major statement that
he deserves another shot.
Mir:
plays out that it's going to happen.
I will not be denied.
Rogan:
Mir: A win over Andrei definitely gains
a lot of momentum for that conversation.
Arlovski:
I'm just ready to go.
Rogan:
Goldberg:
Arlovski: One of my strongest wish is to be a champion again.
I will do what's impossible to beat everyone
who's going to be in my way to get the UFC belt.
