    TJ and Max both praised Loma. Both the best P4P UFC fighters. Hmmmmmm.......

    lol. To be fair to Cody, and I'd rather not be, he did show toughness to take all those head shots from TJ's free hand (even though they weren't that powerful) when he was being held and some of the shots that just whizzed by TJ's head when they were exchanging would've laid TJ had they landed.

    Good stuff. Hate that it ended so early. Herb gave him quite a while. I would have probably let it go a bit longer.

    Some guys just don't want to go into the guard when hurt.

    It was far more convincing this time around in my opinion.

    That's what DJ was avoiding.

    Was a good call when he started to lurch over with his hands down, but I agree, give him slightly longer.

    JUST BLEED.

    That first punch from TJ were 5 seconds underway. Cody just telegraphed his punch, giving TJ seconds to time his own right hand. Landing clean!

    I think Cody is as skilled, but got some obvious flaws.

    What was Cejudo doing that gave DJ problems?

    DJ's probably kicking himself for not taking that Dillashaw fight at 125.

    Like I said in my previous post, some of those shots of his that whizzed past TJ's head when they were both swinging would've taken him and most fighters out. He does have very quick and heavy hands.

    Olympic level wrestling and rudimentary striking + forward pressure.

    Cruz had a bad foot going into that. Healthy Cruz would've boxed his ears off.

    Cejudo looked a little faster. Was able to muscle DJ when they clenched. In the exchanges ,Cejudo looked landed the better shot. It was close but I thought he did enough to win it 3 - 2.

    A waste of talent. He has some of the sharpest punches/kicks and fastest hands in the UFC. If he only had the brains to match.
