It bothers me even more that post-fight after the Cejudo L, Dillashaw was clamoring about, 'I wouldn't wanna win that way. I wouldn't wanna win in that manner. Couldn't be me. Henry shouldn't feel like a real champion.' T.J. kept repeating that he got cheated by the ref and all along, man's was doping and cheating the game.
Moraes is going to beat the new MMA darling, Cejudo. Even though Henry just knocked out T.J., Marlon's striking is naturally better and more advanced. He hasn't truly lost, IMO, since Ring of Combat in AC eight years ago. That Assuncao decision a bit suspect for me. He avenged it anyway with the guillotine. Also beat Jimmie, "Aljo" and Dodson on his current four-fight win streak.
I personally like the state of the BW division, even with Dillashaw suspended for two years. "Aljo" looked good against Rivera and controlled most of the fight. His striking under Serra and Longo looked vastly improved. I'd like to see Sterling get a shot to avenge the KO knee he suffered vs. Moraes, eventually.
Cody needs a W in his next bout for morale. Three consecutive losses. Two to T.J., who has Garbrandt's number stylistically. Although Cody almost knocked Dillashaw out at the end of R1 in their first fight. Just ran outta time. Didn't fight smart against Munhoz, which I suspected would happen pre-fight. Man's lost his head and decided to bang it out in an all-out war. Instead of fighting intelligently like he did to take the belt from Dom. Kept his composure for all five rounds and coasted to a decision vs. Cruz.
