He usually shrugs off the punches that hit him. Not many people with power in that division.

It's true. I'm happy there's guys like Cody, Lineker and Almedia coming up
It's more than power though, Cody showed some real nice traits and well roundedness. I don't see Lineker or Almedia beating Dom anytime soon
Rivera is fighting Caraway, so maybe the loser? Lineker or Assuncao are also perfect options. Dom got options

Yup.
These guys know that they can't just fight, they gotta go out there and run their mouths. They get popular, then can expand their name/brand to endorsements, movies, etc.

Cody isn't really anything like Conor in anyway outside of the ring other than they're white, and have tattoos lol

Conor got the GOAT trash talk
If Cody can't even verbally spar with Dom, I doubt they can make him the "American mcgregor"

Cody got that swag inside the cage though, he just gotta work on his trash talk. Have him walk around as a swaggy chuck Liddel

Did they even do any tribute for Goldberg? Damn I don't recall them even mentioning it or did Rogan say anything?

you dont think they will hire a team for him?
it's up to cody, if he wants to focus on fighting or branch out. he did a ton of radio interviews the last couple yrs to get his name out there. i think he is willing to expand his options outside of just being a fighter.
WME is in the business of making money and they aren't going to waste cody. he will be headlining PPVs

I'm not saying he's not going to get better at PRI'm just saying he's not going to be a Mcgregor because what make Mcgregor unique is that rags to riches story along with that kooky Irish personality
It's best for Cody to pave his own unique personality, not by just copying something that he is clearly not
I'm sure Dana and the UFC team have a good way to market Cody

This. Faber never moved like that in the pocket.
TJ was a longtime TAF fighter as well when he won the title. And actually lost to Dom after he left.
Stop.

Just market Cody for Cody, Mystic Mac and his come up are one of a kind

I see TJ beating Cody. Even Cody knows that TJ has a good shot of beating him, thats why he wanted to give Dom the rematch.
TJ and Dom have very similar yet different styles. Love watching both of them

We have 10 hours until 2017. That means I can watch Ronda get washed roughly 600 more times until the new year.

Cody surprised everyone with the way he fought. Looked very smooth on his feet, worked in his TDD and his takedowns flawlessly.
I don't know if TJ beats him, but very excited to watch it go down either way.

It'll be a great fight for sure, I don't see how I could give the edge to TJ however leading up to the fight. Cody's defensive prowess, footwork, boxing and willingness to kick lead me to favor him against TJ, but not by a large margin. Plus, he went in there and did what TJ could not against Dom
TJ will definitely challenge Cody's chin and has exceptional wrestling to mix it up. TJ seems like he's also in peak physical condition to coincide with his evolving IQ

Can we talk about how great Dom was at the post fight presser?
Ronda gotta take notes. THATS how you face the music after you lose your belt.

Ronda been classless from jump.
I usually feel for fighters in her position but a lot of the flack she's getting now is somewhat deserved.
Even before last nights fight I was thinking "this ***** really thinks she can ice grill her way to a W"

Yup, already did, Dom is amazing! Seriously, it was an amazing performance with his analysis right after being in a 25 minute fight
Ronda doesn't care either so no surprise. She didn't show the heart of a champ the first time she lost, so no change was coming especially after she boycotted the media leading up
