Topic: Demetrious Johnson

Should Mighty Mouse get the same amount of praise as guys like Jones, Aldo, and GSP?

I think so. Look at these numbers.

A few more title defences then how can you not? A victory in a rematch against the forever absent cruz would do wonders for his claim of pound for pound eventually.

Not the same amount (obviously 'cause that would be dumb as ****) but Mighty Mouse is definitely a dominant beast of a champion.

Well he deserves credit but let's be realistic, his division is not nearly as strong as the WW division. It will take a GSP loss and a long string of wins like his over Moraga before that comparison will ever be made.

He was definitely awesome Saturday night. I'm a big fan of his and I say all these champs deserve recognitions, even the ones I don't like

Not yet. Even though he's starting to stack up the title defenses, the FlyW division is the weakest in the UFC. His next challenger is going to be either the winner of Formiga/Benavidez or maybe Lineker if he wins. Most certainly Benavidez if he wins. Would be a good rematch.

I will admit that I am not the biggest Mighty Mouse fan in the world, but Saturday's performance against Moraga really made me turn my head, and think, "If this guy were 6'4" and walked around at 240lbs., imagine the damage this guy could do."

Right now I couldn't argue either way, but what I do know, is that if Mighty Mouse stays on this trek, he could easily be in the p4p running right up there with GSP, Jones, and Aldo.

Should be in the bottom half of the P4P top ten, but yeah I agree^, the FLW division is so ******* slim, beating benevidez again won't raise his stock anymore than it already is, but if he keeps dominating everybody, He'll be up there eventually.(IMO)

No way, at least Mighty Mouse can finish a fight.

Flyweights are notorious for not finishing fights and DJ can do it but GSP can't...sad

Maybe DJ should be higher up on the P4P list.

Like it was stated before, GSP is fighting and dominating the deepest most talented weight class the UFC has to offer while DJ is in a brand new weight class that is full of guys including himself that couldn't beat Cruz. Your obsession with the finish is clouding your judgment.

I have got him pretty low in the P4P list just because of his finish rate and his fights are all kinda close.  He just straight dominated Moraga this fight!  Hats off to Mighty Mouse.  New fan right here.

True!  After DJ's fight with JB (who I thought would beat him) he has really started trying to finish and he will get more finishes now I believe.

Hey man, he beat Uncle Creepy when he was ranked #1 125er in the world, beat Benavidez, 2 title defenses against solid contenders ... he's not there yet, but a few more quality wins and we can start the talk ... the UFC should still start bringing in some quality 125ers (*cough* Mongoose) because I don't see a title fight vs. Gaudinot for instance meaning anything ...

He's still got a Benavidez rematch in his future and if McCall can get a couple of wins in by then, maybe a trilogy since McCall was winning their first fight, hopefully 'till then Lineker turns into the beast I think he will ... and hey, you never know, Chael Sonnen might drop to 125 if he get's an immediate crack at the belt :)
