Welp. I did say it.

 

Seeing the belt on stage actually looks a lot better than I expected.

 

Way to be a professional TJ

 

I agree with this.

 

Everyone in this bar was upset by the stoppage lol

 

Obvious 135 rematch

 

Knew it. Guys complain all the time that when they cut too much weight, shots that don’t normally hurt will actually drop them. He couldn’t take the first punch that grazed him.

 

TJ is a little fucker. Glad he lost.

 

Conor v Cerrone would be such a blood bath. Please happen!

It’d be weird to see how Conor talks in the build up to that fight. I think there’s some respect there from Conor.

 

Also, lol

 

Post x4

ESPN is gonna be great for UFC

 

I hate to say it, but I’d like to see them run it back at 135. TJ might perform much better without being so depleted, but on the other hand, he’s been dropped and rocked plenty at 135 too so it’s not like that was an oddity tonight.

Regardless of how you feel about his wins, Cejudo now has back-to-back wins over the Flyweight and Bantamweight GOATs. I don’t know what to make of that.

 

Henry is starting a run to be considered a goat himself.


Can you imagine if Donald gets a win over McGregor?

 

I often call myself a goat, but its just because I get stuck when climbing mountains.

 

TJ sounds so shitty and bitter right now in the post fight interview. Shitting all over Henry, saying his opportunity is stolen from him and that he absolutely did not beat him. Claims he’s ready to fight next week, “can definitely get cleared” and shouldn’t have to defend his belt because he deserves a rematch at 125.

 

TJ didn’t have his hands up and got knocked down twice while Henry was pounding away.

 

Yikes. Be a good sport TJ.

 

It’s gotta be hard to go through camp and an obviously terrible cut just to get stopped like that. But yeah don’t be a dick about it.

Basically no one goes down in weight from their normal weight class and wins the belt. You could count Conor, Bisping and DC but they all had plenty of wins at those weights first.

 

Dana: listen if I learned anything about Greg Hardy tonight it's that he can fight"


WHAT?

 

Dana says Jessica Eye is getting the next shot at Shevchenko.

 

Dana siding with TJ

 

lol Henry calling out the ufc for being cheap with the new belts and only adding a gem instead of giving out a new belt.

Sometimes he's extremely cringe in the lead ups to his fights but I've found him likable in his last two post-fight press conferences.

 

Pissed me off to hear TJ say “Henry isn’t a better fighter than me, he can’t beat me.” Dude, he just did. Dominantly. Grow up. You made fun of and talked so much shit to Cody for losing, and here you are crying (literally) because you looked bad in there and you know it.

 

This Anderson/Izzy promo. Holy shittttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

ESPN already rerunning the prelims; even though most people who would be watching ESPN are going to be watching football, it's still a good sign.
