In this episode of Nickals and Dimes, we’re joined by one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time—Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson. A former UFC Flyweight Champion, DJ set the record for 11 consecutive title defenses, solidifying his place as one of the most well-rounded and dominant fighters in history. He’s continued to make waves outside the cage, winning IBJJF Worlds at the Master Brown Belt level and building a massive audience as a YouTuber and content creator.
The conversation kicks off with DJ sharing his experiences training with Islam Makhachev and Khabib Nurmagomedov, giving insight into what makes their team so dominant. He then takes us inside his time training in Thailand, and his training with Shogun Rua.
The discussion shifts to the growth of Jiu Jitsu and what it takes to make the sport more accessible to a wider audience. DJ reflects on how he got his start in MMA, what led him to the UFC, and how his career unfolded. He also opens up about life after fighting and his transition into being a YouTuber, where he’s found success sharing fight breakdowns and training insights.
Later in the episode, DJ reacts to Bo’s last fight, gives his thoughts on Alexandre Pantoja’s callout, and shares his perspective on how fighting as a sport can continue to evolve.

Bore Nickal having the #1 combat sports podcast is about as delusional as him screeching about beating Chimeav while he takes on guys like Cody Bumdage.
