      he's just born to beat Dominick Cruz, and also born to lose to TJ Dillashaw. funny enough that he's having an easy time on Cruz, while the one who KOd him twice can't even land a clean punch on Cruz. this is the Ali, Foreman, Frazier of UFC.

      @Ali Abdelaziz definitely. I actually scored the Cruz vs Garbrandt 48-47 for Garbrandt. No doubt it was a brilliant performance by him, but Cruz' work was actually overlooked by how Garbrandt floored him down more than twice. Cruz actually made it competitive.

      @eetfuk3571 Před 2 lety

      @Ali Abdelaziz Cruz is a hard man to beat on decision. Cody was the only one who managed to outpoint him, but it was because of the punching power difference hence why Cody was flooring him down almost over and over. Uriah and Henry are the only fighters who finished Cruz.

Chip on his shoulder something to prove mean and big for the weight at the time but so tactical technical fast and elusive. Watching him go unorthodox one two head kick leg kick straight left under hook knee pick was a thing of beauty. I don’t think anyone flowed better them him mixing a well rounded skill set together offensively like that. Simply because the guys that could like Jones and Gsp weren’t as fast but were bigger and more powerful but seeing him do it with his Manny like angles and speed then mix a shot in was fucking awesome!

If you think he was cheating the whole time, you’re admitting it’s possible usada isn’t catching everyone and you have no idea who’s cheating and just not getting caught like he was. It’s also a bit ignorant to completely write off his performances against Cody when EPO doesn’t make you a better fighter, it helps with Cardio and TJ finished Cody within the first 2 rounds both fights. Also, what’s your excuse for Cody getting worked by Pedro?

    Cody's performance against Cruz was one of the best displays of MMA out there. His first fight with TJ wasn't awful either up until he lost. Then he gets emotional in the rematch and can't stay composed and then gets too eager and desperate to win a fight against his next opponent that he does the same thing.
    I think some time off to recollect himself and learn how to stay composed will allow him to go back to being a high level fighter
