WATCH: MMA legend Demetrious Johnson breaks down Kade Ruotolo’s thrilling CJI win over Andrew Tackett
Demetrious Johnson is one of the best mixed martial arts fighters in history and also one of the most learned analysts of the fight game.
The reigning ONE flyweight MMA world champion has built a steady community on YouTube with his Mighty channel, and his latest breakdown saw him analyze Kade Ruotolo's blinding matchup against Andrew Tackett at the Craig Jones Invitational.
Ruotolo, the ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion, faced off against Tackett in the -80kg tournament semifinal in what Johnson said has the potential to be the best Brazilian jiu-jitsu match in history.
Demetrious Johnson, who has a cult following among fight fans, did his usual 'Mighty Mouse' brand of analysis while being just a general fan of martial arts.

He wrote on the video's caption:
"'Mighty' Demetrious Johnson breaks down the CJI under 80-kilogram semifinals between Kade Ruotolo and Andre Tackett!"
Ruotolo went a perfect 3-0 in his bracket, taking down Matheus Diniz, old rival Tommy Langaker, and Tackett, to set up his showdown against Levi Jones-Leary in the tournament final.
The final match also had its fair share of drama since the Jones-Leary beat Ruotolo's twin brother Tye in their bracket's quarterfinal match. Ruotolo ultimately avenged Tye's defeat with a decision win to capture the tournament's $1 million prize.
The ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion now turns his attention to Colorado when he defends his throne against ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion Mikey Musumeci at ONE 168: Denver.
The super fight between the world champions goes down on September 6 at Ball Arena.
Tickets for ONE 168 are available at Ticketmaster.

Demetrious Johnson has been on a gym tour of sorts over the past several months, and one of his stops was Las Vegas' Faito Tamashii Combat Club.
It was in the Las Vegas facility that Johnson became an unexpected training partner for Mikey Musumeci in 'Darth Rigatoni's preparation for his world title challenge against Kade Ruotolo.
Johnson ultimately rolled with Musumeci and former UFC flyweight world champion Brandon Moreno.
